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've given up on PC world now. I went in once and asked and they don't even sell graphics cards anymore. What's the actual point in them?

All they do now printers and pre-built PCs. Which are always terrible value.

Their target market are people they can upsell extended warranties, anti-virus, etc to. So if you're buying individual computer components you already have too much knowledge for them to exploit you

Oh I know but they could still make money from me by selling me things that I want to buy from them. I just find it baffling that they don't want to do that.
