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 housing quality in this country is a complete joke.

Whenever I talk to any European or person from the western world they always say the state of UK housing is unbelievable.

Last time I had mould in my house I was assured there was no health issue by two different people, the estate agent and the builder. When I asked them to put that in writing with their qualification to speak of mould on respiratory illnesses they suprisingly had nothing to say. Had to move as soon as my contract was up. Luckily I killed the mould that go into my bed.
