United Kingdom
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.

Not quite, it's a little more complicated than that.
Supermarkets stopped buying veg when the price went up because they knew they could blame it on other factors, rather than people thinking the supermarkets were tight cunts. Customers are generally accepting of prices going up (they have no other option), it's the supermarkets who want to charge as high a price to customers while paying as little as possible themselves. The supermarkets then use this whole thing as a negotiating tactic to try to bring down their cost prices.
