The Scott Trust, which owns The Guardian, will become one of the largest shareholders in the six-year-old start-up, a deal first-reported by Sky News.

    Article says “scores” of journalists went on strike, I guess that’s what they mean by that. “Scores” is a bit of a loaded term imo, it sounds like loads but a score is only 20

      So doesn’t “loads of scores” mean multiples of 20?

        Yeah, the article doesn’t say “loads of”, just “scores of journalists”, so at least 40

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.
