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.

There's really nowhere to hide from this in the UK anymore. If the mould doesn't get you first, the crumbling concrete, pyromaniac's dream insulation material, poison tap water or exploding boilers will all have their turns until you are sick and crippled, left to rot in corridor in the packed hospital, until you run out of direct debit to pay renting for the trolley that would be your final resting place, as you hear the opening fanfare of the British anthem and images of living fossil royals flash through your mind, you gasp your last breath, but at least you know the transes are safely out of the public eye and the boat people aren't coming anymore (not as a result of effective immigration policy, they just don't want to)

But just imagine the horror we'd be living through if Corbyn got in!

This is what the Tories really meant by Victorian Values.
