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.

My impression is that the EU -- dunno about post-Brexit UK -- has more-extensive restrictions on state aid, whereas US states have a pretty free hand in competing with tax breaks and the like on a per-company basis.

EDIT: I believe that I recall a lot of concern during Brexit negotiations from the EU that the UK would permit state aid, and that this wouldn't permit a level playing field, so I think that constraints on that were one thing that the EU sought in the TCA.

I dunno what the present situation is, though, or if the courts have even settled things.
