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.

Packham is a popular environmentalist and animal lover who has presented loads of fantastic shows over the years. Someone’s made a complaint about him having a sniff of a chick when checking them, but they appear to have had little else to do that day

Panda hate is a common thing in conservation circles. Money on conservation that is spent on Panda could be effectively used elsewhere etc.

Pandas: the poster-child for an evolutionary cul-de-sac

Yeah, but the way they fall out of trees onto their heads is just too cute!

Is that why they are so poorly treated in western zoos that multiple died and multiple more almost died and had to be evacuated back to China? Cause there’s no denying those pandas were abused horrifically, and I just couldn’t understand why.
