General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.

I saw this on Reddit and thought it was interesting.

One in four Gen Zs have thought about quitting work over the last year, citing mental health as a key reason to go unemployed.

Don't we all think about quitting work at least once daily?

Quite the opposite.

I think about quitting work all the time.

I only think about work once a day.

I dream of driving off into the sunset with my wife on a daily basis. Just pack a bag each and hit the road.

I did the math once, we could go about 18 months like that before we couldn’t afford gas, food, and maintenance anymore.

Of course we’d be financially ruined and our careers would basically have to restart, but a man can dream.

Why would your careers need to restart? I took an 18 month sabbatical and went right back in to work.

My dream is more like buying some woodland and living there in a cabin. I can afford it until the council evict me and seize my land for living on it without their permission.
