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.

How many will it create though?

Exactly. I keep hearing this "they're taking our jobs" argument, and it's been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it's been generally an upward trend.

People are worried about the jobs they actually have, not jobs that may or may not appear decades from now.

Hope is not a strategy.

Yes, on a personal basis the job losses are devastating. On a societal bssis, they are not.
