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.

Bunch of fucking idiots.
Proper education about substances so that adults can make informed choices about what they want to take and how to do so in a safe manner. Couple that with proper regulation and production of these substances so that people can buy what they want in a safe and legal manner, guaranteeing them they are getting exactly the substance they want that hasn't been cut or adulterated with other things they don't will go a lot further in the reduction of deaths if they actually wanted to reduce substance abuse deaths.
Add on to this the taxation of selling them all which would instantly boost income massively and then you can not only fund out reach services to help rather than demonise people that have issues but also fund community projects or schools or the NHS or what ever else needs help funding with the surplus.
But noooooo, they have to perpetuate the idiocy that is the "drugs are bad" line of thinking and continue to fight this pathetic "war" that only drives a black market, impure substances, misinformation to their citizens and deaths!
People should be able to get whatever kind of high they fucking want if it isn't negatively impacting other people, instead criminalisation and misinformation harms people even more. Often the most vulnerable are the ones that feel it the hardest.
