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.

Lol. This ought to be interesting
No,it was a petition from 2021,it was debated, and the government response was that they have no intention of introducing legislation of this kind.
My understanding is that it was responded to, but not debated.
It was not debated in 2021. It will be debated in October 2023.
The govt response in 2021 was because it reached the lower threshold (10,000?) for a response. Now it's over the 100,000 required for a debate.
Thanks for the clarification
