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 will never get built.

If they get built they will cost 10x what a reactor should.

Regardless, a bunch of consultation firms will get tens to hundreds of millions of UK taxpayer money.

I mean, it's the UK. If we could get anything done that only cost 9x what it ought to that would be a national news story.

Huh. I wonder if all of the verbatim identical pro-nuclear posts I see on every social media platform that all read like they were copied and pasted from the same template are astroturfing by the nuclear consultation firms.

Huh. I wonder if all of the verbatim identical anti-nuclear posts I see on every social media platform that all read like they were copied and pasted from the same template are astroturfing by the natural gas firms.
