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.

People too busy working multiple jobs because they're drowning in debt I think is a lot more common of an issues. The way things have become allow very little time for critical thinking not.

Plus the whole issues of schools being underfunded. A lot of kids probably aren't even learning critical thinking skills or even being taught the importance of them. Anytime pre-workforce or secondary education is spent enjoying life while they still can (at least that's what I was told at that age to do).
