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.

Oh i love being on a UK instance.
JoB is a national treasure. Im with you on ferrari though, I keep feeling like he's paid to sell an agenda, and doesnt actually believe his angles
I feel like it’s a performance. I suppose being a public broadcaster it’s all a show but that suspicion is always there. I passed an Insulate Britain roadblock a while back just as he was yelling at someone trying to point out it’s a very good idea to fix our housing stock after decades of neglecting basic repair work. Literally yelling, shouting.
The big problem are landlords. It's the tenants who pay the heating bills, so why would they want to fork out money for insulation? It doesn't save them any money at all.
I'm sure a lot of this is coming from them. I'm sure they all get together at monthly meetings to discuss how they're going to oppress democracy in thir never ending pursuit of small profits.
