United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

Yep, I hate this. I’ve avoided “loyalty” cards all my life because I’m not interested in giving valuable data to corporations that I already hate away for a tuppence. But now that they’re doubling prices on stuff unless you use the loyalty cards there’s not a huge amount you can do. What I’m doing at the moment is avoiding those shops that do this as much as I can, and when I do go there, a bunch of friends and all use one of our elderly mum’s loyalty cards, with the hopes of making their data just complete nonsense. That little old lady is sometimes vegan, sometimes not, she buys condoms, men and women’s hygiene products, various different brands of pretty much everything, she’s truly living life to its fullest!
Where I live, there are like 5 Tesco stores and just one other major supermarket. Definitely some corruption in the local council going on.
