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.

MODERATORS
They're building some new houses round my way.
Annoyed me that they chopped down a bunch of trees for them, and worse the trees would have been in the gardens. Now they'll just have a featureless, badly laid lawn and a wonky new build fence to look at instead.
Trees, especially thirsty ones, cause issues with foundations. The issues are not insurmountable, but they are expensive.
Developers, looking to maximize profit, far prefer removing the trees if they can.
