United Kingdom
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.

"Okay but hear me out, if people are dead we no longer have to throw away perfectly good tax money on them, which would be better spent on X" - Tories
(Just replace X with whatever you like, stopping small boats, propping up boomer pensions, funding private schools, improving the police force's response times and manpower to improve suppression and arrest numbers at peaceful protests, ensuring that hundreds of thousands of people who need social care or benefits don't receive them because what if one guy somewhere might be trying to game the system?!, etc etc)
The average carbon emissions per person per year in the UK is 4.7 tons. This is a one million of people who couldn't live 20-30 years more at least. That's our environment saved from 100m tons of emissions!
