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.

Do NOT fuck with the deaf and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BLIND!
They've had blind and deaf societies (charitable foundations) about as long as the Metropolitan Police have been around.
They're great organisations for people who suffer from those conditions because they DO NOT stand for these people going without the support they need.
They are viciously litigious and I for one can only hope that they continue to take the DWP to the fucking cleaners on behalf of the rest of society who continue to be shafted by that horrid department.
DWP still fucks us though. Refusing to provide help with claims unless you insist. Takes ages to get things sorted with them keep saying. We are not allowed to fill the forms for you.
If you are not someone strong enough to stand up to them. They will fuck you over in the name of process. Saying you need to find someone to help you. PS do not do that. Make sure they get someone qualified.
