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.

Dale Vince is one of the major donors to Just stop Oil. He was in the panel with a recent Question time event. It is Dale Vince who made the donation to the Labour party, which the daily mail tried to push as a donation from the Just Stop Oil group. He is an altruistic person who likes to make his money works for what he sees are good causes. I very much doubt he would donate without looking into it.

Just to be clear though, it was not the Just Stop Oil group who donated to the Labour party. Full fact covered this one and put the record straight.
