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.

Look if you've got people fleeing war and poverty via small boat channel crossings the only effective deterrent to disuade those making the crossing for a chance at a much better life for them and their children will be shooting the small boats.
Needless to say, that'd be a horrific crime against humanity.
So how about actually having grown-up conversations with the EU about how to tackle migration and fix the broken legal immigration system.
They have already been offered a solution which they don't want to take because they like to use the "immigration problem" as political red meat to throw at their idiot supporters, who by now are the only people who continue to support them.
They are literally consulting with the US republicans on how to run a political campaign, so we're not getting honesty or integrity here.
Fleeing war and poverty... in France?
No they are fleeing war and poverty and then they go to France but obviously they don't want to stay there because who would want to live in France?
If you think the British are racist you've not seen anything yet.
