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.

Title is trash, 77m was over decade. Big hole in the pension scheme is crap though.

Irregularities in the pension fund, eh?

They should pay that back, else jail the lot of them. A man's life is apparently worth 100k a year, so 770 years between them.

Ach away and shite. Quoting the Mail on Sunday "They paid out 77m before collapse"

Eh, 63m of that was nearly ten years ago, and was due to a sale within the owning family

Dividends are a thing, and 10m or so is peanuts over a decade

Absolute toilet-level journalism, don't spread shite like this
