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.

Sending love and energy your way, I remember a conversation I had with a disability assessor on Reddit and I just kept telling them, “no, you’re scum, I don’t give a shit about anything you have to say” and they just kept going on and on about how it helped disabled people to have someone to keep away the “””fake disabled””” people. It is fucking disgusting. Should be totally illegal to reject a PIP application until they’ve had an interview with like the disabled person, at least one of their doctors, and a person or two from each “sphere” (work/school/personal life) who knows the disabled person and their struggles. And then if an application is rejected but accepted after an appeal that should be a sackable offence.
I’d far rather have 9/10 people on disability payment not need it than have the 1/10 who needs it go without it. It’s better than spending the money on some bullshit fake government contract that they award to their wife’s business that they set up 15 minutes ago.
