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.

My 2yo has cerebral palsy and can't sit or crawl. We got a good amount of equipment for him.

But bath seats were deemed not daily equipment and we had to go to a charity and apply for funding. It was a long and complex process but we got there in the end.

On a related note the cost a disabled equipment is ridiculous! I understand it is specialist stuff but some of these things are like 500 quid for a seat with a few extra straps.

Feels like the way they mark up everything if you mention it's for a wedding.
