    Zombie apocalypse is a good thing, and least in this context. “the collapse of low-productivity firms, which will be replaced by more productive equivalents.”

    Yes, a “Left-leaning” and “independent” think tank that used to be led by the Tory MP David Willets and now run by Ruth Curtice who was Director of fiscal policy to the Treasury for the Tories for 15 years. Of course I’ll believe what they opine. Just like I would have listened to the charities in the 18th and 19th century who warned about how ending child labour as chimney sweeps would destroy the British economy and everyday life while arguing that the children should have the opportunity to learn the Scripture.

    I love the UK mentality of oh fuck it - given that nobody has anything they don’t really have anything to lose!

    Viva la revolution. Never thought I would love the French as much as I do lately.

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.
