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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Witnesses have described a "horrific" scene after a mother and her two girls were doused in their car with a "corrosive substance" in south London.
The Metropolitan Police said emergency services were called to Lessar Avenue, near Clapham Common, at 19:25 GMT after reports of an attack with a suspected "corrosive substance".
A couple who live on Lessar Avenue said they ran into the street after hearing a cry for help and then the sound of a car crashing.
Labour London Assembly Member Marina Ahmad said there had been a traffic collision on Lessar Avenue "with a man assaulting occupants in a car".
"Crews also used specialist equipment to detect a corrosive substance that is believed to have been used in the incident.
A joint statement by local Clapham Common councillors Alison Inglis-Jones and Ben Curtis said they and the wider community are "in total disbelief and shock" at what had happened.
