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.

Yeah, they can fuck off with trying to blame their problems on drivers refusing to work overtime, as if being on a reasonable-but-not-exceptional wage is somehow the root cause. Drivers need to be sharp - they're responsible for a lot of people's safety! - and I'd prefer they did no overtime at all thank you. Perhaps twenty years of underinvestment following privitisation might be more the problem here, eh?
Train strikes have caused me a bit of disruption over the summer, but that is exactly the point of them going on strike. Keep laying into the bastards and make sure that we've got the safe service that we need. 100% behind you all the way.
