    What about the fly-tippers themselves?

    For those outside the UK, “fly-tipping” means the much more clearly phrased “illegal dumping”.

    It is not similar to cow-tipping at all.

    Edit: this concept of destroying cars as punishment should really catch on more.

    There is something deeply wrong with people who litter.

    Why crush them and not sell them? The proceeds could pay for the clean up.

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.
