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.

I heard a mate was going out on the piss, so I just asked him to keep an eye out for anyone selling an iPhone in a yellow case. It was stolen from my house the day before, 12 days before Xmas.
He rang me the next day and said he was offered said iPhone in the pub, and even went to their house where he saw more of my stuff.
Told the cops and they said they would have to talk to my mate. My mate is a bit dodgy and wouldn't go near a copper, so they just ignored the lead I had for them and shrugged.
I nearly got my big mates together to go down there myself, but that's vigilantism and I'm a shit legs.
Anyway, the cops were useless, and that was a decade ago, and it's slid since then.
