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.

There are ways to properly fix mould in homes.
And not just in a "chuck an extractor fan in" way, I'm talking vapor-permeable/non-permeable membranes, breathability, MVHR, damp-proofing, and properly planned insulation.
However, they're more expensive to a landlord than telling the tenants to keep the windows open, so until legislation pushes it, a lot of landlords and property management firms will only slap some paint on and tell people to open the windows.
Imho, it's one of the biggest issues at the moment: Property owners skimping on things because it doesn't affect them, to the cost of their tenants. Boiler blows up? They replace it with a non-heatpump electric one, because it saves them £1000. Never mind that it triples the heating bill; It's not their money.
