I guess it’s because many young adults move far away from home to get jobs in cities.

In the past young adults probably would have stayed living near their family, so they could see them easily.

I don’t agree with this.

We have been moving away from family for many decades now. However I was able to travel by train in 2000 from Liverpool to Reading, I don’t think I would have done if it was £120, which is the current return price from Lime St. to Reading, it was half that.

That’s insane.

The cost of living is too high to travel in this neo feudal world of the criminally rich. Back 30+ years ago, the cost of fuel and travel was much lower relative to wages. The poor have gotten much poorer so that a few thousand monsters can have a meaningless competition.

Especially with how cities in the UK are effectively banning driving for anyone but the rich.

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.
