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.

Teenagers with adhd are going to suffer if they can't self medicate with an easily accessible and relatively safe substance like caffeine.
Via the NHS they'd be able to get methylphenidate or a number other drugs to help treat ADHD alot of these drugs work as stimulates that work for long periods of time making them much more effective then energy drinks regarding convenience
But I still get your concern as waiting lists are quite long In this country but there are other forms of caffeine as well that are alot more healthy, I still think this ban is awful though but it's not the end of the world for people with ADHD I luckily don't think
Lmao, yeah no it's really not as simple as that.
Do you have any idea how long waiting lists are for adhd and autism assessments? Or how likely adhd is to be overlooked and treated as a personal failing in POC and girls/women?
