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.

More like the UK government (and every damn government since I've been alive) just hates housebuilding and will come up with any reason to prevent it.
To what end? Just for lols?
Same banality of evil that causes millionares row in New York to mostly just be a bunch of empty skyscrapers. Property makes an excellent investment vehicle and restricting the supply keeps prices high.
I think it's more that NIMBYs hate house building and generally slow the process down.
