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.

The CO2 per capita produced in China is significantly less than the CO2 per capita produced in most first world countries.

Even if an average first world person decides to eat no meat at all, they're still gonna cause more CO2 emission than an average chinese person.

This isn't to be blamed on China.

While countries with higher per-capita emissions have work to do, China's raw pollution is absolutely an issue.
