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.

You really need to read back what I said because i didn't sing any praises of the BBC in any of my comments, nor really say anything about them at all.

I agree with some of what you said, I don't know enough about their for profit endeavors to comment.

Regardless, my prior comments were entirely directed at the Tory party. The BBC are just another example of their classic three step death-by-a-thousand-cuts privitisation plan.

Their potential or confirmed crimes don't matter. The enemy of my enemy is, in this case, very much NOT my friend.

So we both hate the BBC and the Tories. I'll drink to that.

I don't hate them. But I don't think TV licensing is ethical, practical, or sustainable, so I'm right with you there.
