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.

Anything to give the boomers and flag-shaggers something to cling on to.
Next they'll be whining about Opal Fruits, Jim Davidson, and the return of Four Star Petrol.
I still think Opal Fruits is a more descriptive name
Haven't heard anyone caring about the name change since the 1990s. So I'd love to know where you're seeing it all.
It sounds more like you are whingeing about a private Corporation deciding to sell a very small amount of something to a few older folks using nostalgia. (Literally in Morrisons alone)
And the language you use suggests a desperate need to seek some mental care. While I'll agree, a large part of my generation (just old enough to remember the pre name change bars) are responsible for voting idiots who do not fund mental health care. It's been rare over the last 50 years that those parties won with anything close to 50%. So please remember we ain't all arseholes.
