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.

It's the next rung down on the Social Class Idiocy Food Analogue Scale after Gammon.

I became very defensive over gammon when it became a slur - it's one of my favourite joints of meat to cook. Inexpensive and goes with just about anything too.

Also keeps in the fridge for yonks. Can't say that about chicken now can you, eh?

This seems a very British reaction - how dare you insult my pig-based food stuff by comparing it to a Tory blowhard!
