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.

The mail volume is decreasing quite quickly though. Letter volume has decreased by 65% since 2010 and most of those letters are probably not from private individuals.

The national postal company recently decided to only empty postal boxes every other weekday instead of every weekday to the boxes often being empty.

Before that they also decided to only deliver mail every other weekday instead of every weekday. First class parcels are still delivered every weekday.

Sending letters is uncommon so I'm just surprised that there is a black market for stamps.
