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.

Honest question: Is there any legitimate expectation of them actually paying up?
Probably not, and even then it'd be taxpayer money, which is totally unfair.
Is there precedent for this? What happened in the US for example? Or Belgium? Or Portugal?
Wasn't Belgium one of the countries that had the biggest hand in slave trade? I remember reading they were horrific. Yet, they're barely spoken about in the same sentence.
