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.

It's worth bearing in mind that some of this may also be down to the rules of origin of the UK EU TCA, not necessarily a reduction in actual trade. UK and EU branded clothing and footwear made outside Europe can no longer be counted as UK or EU exports. Instead they are now recorded as an export of the country where they were manufactured.
A lot of modern clothing is made in places like India or China and then branded in another. This would have then been classed as a UK export when sent to the EU, but this is no longer the case.
