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.

Isn't this the moment to make a proper break from fossil fuel?

No, we passed that 25 years ago without even acknowledging it

Sadly I hadn't considered that. 😔. Still, isn't now an opportunity as well?

Yes absolutely, we can and should be mitigating and adapting to climate change as an urgent international priority.

We'll end up fixing it one way or the other, and the sooner we start, the better. There is a lot money pumped into doom mongering to try slow progress as progress will lose certain rich parties a lot of money. But we just keep doing our best and looking for ways to do better. At the end of day, using less saves money and green energy is cheap energy. No one wants to live in poison.
