United Kingdom
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.

That sounds intentional. It was bought, then it caught fire, the lane was blocked so firetrucks couldn't gain direct access to it leading what looks like a total loss (minus the brickwork), and then it was suddenly demolished without anyone hearing about it? Sounds staged as hell to me; like the new owner knew people would be pissed if it got torn down, so they set it on fire and then used that as an excuse to demolish it.
We have precedent for things like this. Let's hope the same happens here.
