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'm glad to see more action is being taken on this.

Over a decade ago, I worked in a shop that involved handling phone numbers, and at the time there were constant stories of co-workers starting relationships by initiating a conversation as a "customer satisfaction follow up" to their experience that day.
Keeping those people in line was a tale of someone getting decked by a customer's father after doing this.

I'd be fucking livid if this happened to me.
