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.

This was always known to be the result of cancelling by anyone that has been paying attention.
HS2 is direly needed infrastructure work that we've needed since the 90s
We are at capacity on the west coast mainline, this makes everything more expensive, not just rail, as it's an important freight route.
Short sighted
Don't worry, as we continue to price people out of rail travel (poor people were priced out years ago, we've almost cut the whole lower middle class out too, just a little further, I believe we can do it!), fewer people will travel and that'll reduce the hit on your capacity.
All part of our genius plan ๐๐น
