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.

They have stated that they agree the pension age should rise and be in line with men. The complaint is it was done too suddenly without sufficient notice and therefore didn't give women enough time to effectively plan for it.
Imagine being 59 looking forward to retirement, maybe you've already dropped your hours and have enough savings to make it to 60 and then expecting your pension to kick in when suddenly the rug is pulled out from under you and you need to work 6 more years. I can sympathise with them, even though I'll probably never get a pension.
