Incredible that it's only happened now. Just goes to show how actually old the average Brit is. On the one hand it feels good, I'll still be "young" for another 15 years, even though past 25 it's all downhill, but on the other hand the downfall of civilization to the cheer of the boomer property tycoons hopped up on the daily heil isn't that nice to be around.

It's very rare that we watch broadcast TV or record anything to a PVR. It's all streaming on Netflix/Amazon to TV or on my phone. Haven't watched TV in the conventional sense for some years now.

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.
