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.

It’s just cynical reality. They talk about being anti state to their mates, but when it comes down to it they don’t mind tax and spend in the slightest because it keeps them in power. When faced with a competitive offer, for example Labour is fundamentally built on aspects of wealth redistribution, and when those ideas become popular they will offer them as well. The last thing they will tolerate is not being in power, their objective is you have whatever you want as long as they are in charge. Which is to say, private school educated Etonian offspring of vast empires of unearned wealth. These ghouls basically don’t have any strings to their bow apart from knowing how to handle power and keep hold of it.
