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.

So, in your opinion, the Prime Minister’s major focus should be head dogcatcher?

No.

I think he was under pressure for several days to Do Something in the face of a series of attacks and eventually had to.

If there are a series of statistically unlikely car accidents involving out of control vehicles of a particular make and model and the government gets heat over it - yes, tomorrows speech might be on that.

Yeh. But on the other hand he seems to repeatedly have to give statements on mass shootings. It’s odd how different countries have different preoccupations when it comes to unnecessary violent deaths.
