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.

prefer is a transitive verb, wins is intransitive.
They've changed "[they] ...(would).... prefer [he] wins [it] than Nigel (does)" to "[they] prefer [he] wins [it] than Nigel" which is still correct.
Is the "wins" that throws me. Shouldn't that be "win"?
As a teacher once made my class chant as we marched around the school, "singular verbs end in s". Count BinFace is the subject and wins is the verb of the clause "Count BinFace wins..."
Yeah I'd go with "win in" personally.
They could have just used "winning" and it would have been fine
