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.

What I don't understand is why Lidl just didn't buy the domain for £20 and put something innocuous up. Surely cheaper than a recall
That’s what I thought, it seems easier to regain control of the domain than trying to recall all products with it printed on.
Perhaps they were worried it would become a bigger scandal and thought a recall and refund would look better to the public.
Always surprises me how often domain renewals seem to get forgotten about too. Even big tech companies have been caught out by this.
