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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russell Brand has appeared live on stage in London hours after being publicly accused of rape and sexual assault, telling audience members "there were certain things he could not discuss".
The comedian turned up in a black Mercedes 46 minutes late to the sold-out gig at the Troubadour Wembley Park theatre, which was due to start at 7pm but did not begin until just after 8pm on Saturday.
In a post on Instagram, the Devon-based charity, which said Brand had offered his support last year through his Stay Free Foundation, wrote: "Today's media revelations have been difficult to process.
According to his website, Brand's charity also supports Treasures Foundation, which provides accommodation to women with drug addictions in east London, and Friendly House, which runs similar services in Los Angeles.
It comes as a video of Brand from inside his comedy gig on Saturday night showed him walking out on stage smiling and being met with cheers before telling the crowds: "Thank you, thank you, I love you."
TV star turned radio host, Kirsty Gallacher, who is the older sister of Brand's wife Laura, also shared the video on her Instagram story with a red love heart.
