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.

Lib Dems campaigned on a promise of free uni … then did the exact opposite and tripled the price when awarded the power to do something about it.

Un-freaking-believable…

I’ve always known the Tories were trash, but I had no idea that there was a whole extra party that were just as bad. Crimony…

The Lib Dems really aren't just as bad, they're actually one of the better major parties. Unfortunately they made a deal with the devil to get a chance at power and the Tories completely fucked them over. That said, Clegg (their leader at the time) then left politics to work for Facebook so maybe he was a bastard all along!

They did it to get a referendum on a new voting method. They chose a shit one no one wanted though
