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.

The guy on the right does look like he could be a failed attempt at cloning Henry VIII, which I only mention because royal Henrys and all that.

"Failed Royal Harry clone harries royal Harry" one might say.

That said, I don't see anything much better looking in a mirror. Which brings me neatly to:

We should take a (non-mirror) look at ourselves here, self-deprecating or not. Picking and choosing who should and who shouldn't breed, whether or not we actually have that power, and especially based solely on a person's appearance, is the sort thinking that the "Master race"-type folks love.

Don't judge a book by its cover and all that. Here things might seem to line up, but generalisation is dangerous.

That is, if these guys were decent non-malcontents maybe they'd be good dads regardless of (what other people think of) their appearance.
