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.

I agree with the general idea or the article that restricting kids' play is stupid, but the author seems to be a bit of a moron himself:
Not only is this dumb, it completely ignores the idea of parental responsibility - it's the parents who must look after the interests of their kids.
Such hot takes make the whole article immediately dismissable.
I think that part was written as tongue in cheek, not a serious solution.
That said, I do wonder if something like the UK Youth Parliament could be given a greater voice in policy relating to children. It could help make our nation more child friendly, and encourage greater participation in democracy at a younger age.
I’ve got 4 children. They can barely be in charge of cleaning up after dinner.
So I’m sure they’ll do a better job than our current politicians.
