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.

Well this is a turn up for the books. If this is right there are going to be some people with some egg on their face, not least The Sun
@HeartyBeast @Flax_vert
The Sun does not have a reputation for accuracy.
And the story seemed tenuous, and to assert a remarkable market rate.
Probably didn't believe in it themselves but kept on the edge enough to not be sued
And still the guardian reported it as fact. Terrible journalism.
@starlinguk @Flax_vert @HeartyBeast
I don't recall that. Could you point?
