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.

How reliable is the rule of law in Panama?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It's probably more reliable than a lot of Central American countries as it is, recently, more politically stable and trying to set itself apart as a financial haven. However, you have to wonder about the level of corruption and if it's one law for the rich there. The Panama Papers was such a big deal it had to get a show trial, you wonder what else gets brushed under the carpet.
