Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [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.

Mr Gove said the toddler's death from a respiratory condition caused by the mould in his family home run by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) "should never have happened".
Speaking at the time, Awaab's father, Faisal Abdullah, said he hoped those responsible would "get the punishment they deserve" after he repeatedly raised the issue but no action was taken.
Housing campaigner Mr Tweneboa said: "Many families across the country are still living in homes with damp and mould, creating misery but more worryingly risks (to) their health and safety.
Speaking at the time, Coroner Joanne Kearsley said the housing association was not "proactive" and asked: "How in the UK in 2020 does a two-year-old child die as a result of exposure to mould?"
