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.

Rushed through last minute before parliament is dissolved using emergency powers.

Should've been debated in the commons at least.

That is a pointless difference in practice, because kids who suffer from gender dysphoria would use these meds for treatment of said dysphoria and do in the rest of the world that follows the expert guidance from WPATH, and now they can't, and the kids will suffer as a result. But hey at least the transes will be mad innit.

It is not a pointless difference. The use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists have been banned in the UK for the treatment of gender dysphoria. They are of course still available for treating precocious puberty, regardless of how anyone identifies.
