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 thought you'd added that line in as it was a zinger but then I read the article. 😂 WOW I can not believe they printed that.

The Economist is a consistently informative and entertaining read. I was always particular fond of their silly photo captions.

I generally don't add content unless it's really vital to understand the submission, just use the automated content. If I have comments, I'll leave them as a comment.

/r/Europe had really strict rules against editorializing submissions, and I think that that did a lot to avoid controversy. OP's opinions should be in a comment, treated like any other, and one should be able to upvote or downvote their opinions independently of the submission.
