United Kingdom
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.
I'm also in the Midlands, so I won't see it either.
I was in Cornwall for the '99 eclipse and I didn't see that one as well so at least I'm keeping up with tradition.
I too am in the Midlands and also went to Cornwall in '99.
We should start a Missed the Eclipse club or something. At least in Cornwall we got to experience the daytime darkness.
True, I was near Lands End, and seeing the shadow emerge over the horizon and rush towards us across the sea was pretty intense.
Amazing. Those few moments when everything seems to stop and go quiet have stayed with me.
