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.

you elect your local MP. focusing on the leader over the basic local vote only gets you so far. We have countless left wing MPs dying to get into power, some centre some left. Getting rid of MPs like Grant Fucking Shapps and Rees Fucking Mogg is unlikely in thier constituency, so you still have the idea they get another 5 years.
im not saying the leader isn’t important, its just not the mechanism or a misunderstanding of the voting mechanism which is making people not see the wood for the trees.
