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.

Strange that he hasn't got billions of pounds for other things.

Still won't vote for these lot however much he puts up our pensions.

I would be all for this if they put it where it belongs, on the Pension Credit rather than the State Pension, but then its not such an effective bribe for a group who have been bribed their entire adult lives by successive governments.

I really hope this is the last GE that they have any major impact on policy, millennials out numbered them last GE and that's only accelerating.

Yep, that's what we need, another bribe for boomers!

Fuck all of the people working full-time and struggling to make ends meet.
