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.

I suspect it's for the publicity. Events like this attract different demographics than the usual targets, so it's more exposure. It might not make the tabloids but it does get reported on.
Historically, any publicity has been seen as good publicity. But, given the reputation they are building, I think this is not how it is playing out.
So I agree, it just makes people with little to no power feel blamed. Time for a change of approach.
Ah the gamers. They seem like a reasonable bunch!
