United Kingdom
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'm not hurt, my mum works directly with people in a similar situation mentioned in the article.
It just always makes me suspicious when a country's media is more focused on "look how bad it is over there, you guys have it great".
If the BBC did something like that about Australia I'd be like well why the fuck does that matter to me?
I have no idea where you got "look how bad it is over there, you guys have it great" from? Maybe you have been propagandised so hard you don't recognise regular content when you see it
The ABC does about 7 articles per day on how tough Australians are doing it, from a 5 second look at the ABC homepage:

Does the BBC not do stuff about other countries? Like this:

In summary you have a victim complex, in your head the ABC in Australia was pointing a finger at you/the UK and laughing while talking up how mighty and amazing Australia it is, when such a thing doesn't exist... it's just an article on poverty in the UK, don't take it personally
Seven? That's a very exact number.
Do you work for the rag in question?

Awww. Don't give up now. You've come so far!
