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.

More small businesses fucked over. Whatever you say from an armchair about whether in hindsight it was wise for them to do this or not, I always find it hard to read stories where people have tried and failed to strike out in their own.

A lot of the time it's because people are lied to in capitalist countries that we should all aspire to striking out on our own, running our own businesses, being entrepreneurs blah blah blah.

Feel sad for them
