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.

I don't think that applies to the scenario really
Well, getting woken up several times a night (although in our case it's usually motorcycles) is an infringement of rights. So yes, it does.
do you have a constitutional right to stay asleep? I highly doubt it
Do you have a constitutional right to drive a car? I highly doubt that
@Lhianna@feddit.de did not say which rights were at issue. Sleep is proven to be essential for survival. It’s also important to livelihoods. Sleep deprivation is also a common torture tactic as well as a driving impairment worse than intoxication. Perhaps no state’s constitution covers this but some of the relevant rights are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
