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.

You're spot on on messaging. Successive governments (and media) have taken the short term gains of tapping into anti-immigrant sentiment over the long term advantage of being honest about how we need immigration and how it affects the economy.
The papers and TV almost never bother to do their job of analysis and just reprint claims, so when the government says "we're going to listen to what people want" without loudly defending the facts, the overton window creeps quite quickly.
