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.

surprise surprise, Fishy Sunak reveals his true colours and sends out his lunatic generals to spin the news. The measures we need are already not good enough, now hes messing about with jobs and investment in order to find something to hit Labour with. Pathetic spineless wankers

We'd love for our grandchildren to be able to breathe but not if it causes us any minor inconvenience or costs us any money.

It's not about our grandchildren. It's happening faster than that. It's about ourselves and our children. They're rejecting moderate inconvenience now in favour of an unlivable situation in just a few years' time, when the inconveniences will be deadly for people everywhere. But the Conservatives have always been the short-term greed party with no actual interest in the common good.
