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.

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.

Mr Chester said the dog-swimming events were fundraisers that contribute to the restoration and sustainability of the lido and subsidise swims for humans throughout the season.

It is thought this year will generate about £60,000, and it is estimated some £250,000 has been raised since the events began in 2017.

That's great! The dogs have fun, the humans have fun and the swimming pool gets some money.
