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.

We need a tax system that takes not just the headlines into account but assess the relative benefits of various degrees of tax in various industries and individuals vs what they can or can't contribute back in terms of other economic activity that benefits the economy as a whole.
Simply saying we need more tax (or less if you're Liz Truss inclined) is a, frankly, GCSE level of understanding of the economy and should be discouraged.
We need the wealthy to be taxed more
The tax the wealth that they can’t take out of the country. Bring in land value taxes and start raking in the revenue from all those posh London flats (more properly the land they sit on).
Sure, why not 🤷. Let's go with that. Nice and simple.
