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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The work was the culmination of four years of planning by a dog walker who was concerned by huge amounts of rubbish in the River Ogmore, Bridgend.
Dog walker Alun said he was inspired to organise the clean-up during trips with his cocker spaniel to Ogmore-by-Sea, where at low tide he would see geese perched on shopping trolleys and tyres on the riverbed.
Carlos Garcias de Leaniz, professor of aquatic sciences at Swansea University, said rivers in Wales being left in this state could kill its fish.
"This must be organised, people collecting tyres as a business and tipping them straight into the river over a long period of time."
Rob Taylor, who looks after rural and wildlife crime in Wales, agreed, adding that there would be a "significant fine" if the culprits had been caught.
Mr Taylor also highlighted the importance that education has to play and having offenders pay back into the environments they have damaged.
