United Kingdom
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.

I feel... and hear me out.... you're taking this opinion piece too seriously. Read it like you'd read a Spectator article (and I very much appreciate you might read the Spectator). These are meant to be tongue in cheek. They're not meant to be taken seriously or over analysed.
Could you imagine being this out out about the guardian opinion pieces?
Right but they raised the very important point that the article is basically complaining about a bunch of people not being considered working when they are working and are considered working people.
They're literally complaining about nothing
I never saw the article as anything more than a sarcastic opinion piece. They're not calling on the chancellor to reverse the budget. They're not pointing to business opposition. They're not saying anything but haven't an armchair moan in, what looks like to me, a light-hearted opinion piece.
But fair enough if others see it differently. I certainly didn't.
