General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Even as a Scot,
Away and dinnae talk shite. It's a totally unnecessary, pointless language and that's why it's dying. Stop hoovering up taxpayer's money and get a real fuckin job. And stop putting Gaelic on roadsigns too, what an absolute waste of money 😂
Ach pish. People speak Dutch. Virtually nobody speaks Gaelic.
Aye, the census says there's 50,000 speakers, but it also said there are a million jedi. How many of those 'speakers' know more than a couple of phrases and/or use it daily? Four? Ok five.
Put a pillow over its face and slowly suffocate Gaelic to death, it's the humane thing to do, same wi pandas
