I think that the Post Office fiasco shows us all that no-one is ever responsible, privatised or not.
The worst part about privatisation is the level of "who, me?" that happens.
Huge corp doing bad? Fining an entire org takes forever (if it even gets there), and every shitty cog just does their small bit of arseholery, while pretending they're not the problem.
And the C-levels mostly walk away with a slap on the wrist, if any.
A revolving door of executives, making small parts of the awful changes each.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.
