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.
I wish I could find the interview he did with Nick Robinson where he threatened to lock up journalists for being complicit in climate disasters because they don't report enough about it. It was truly jaw droppingly funny until you realised he was deadly serious and accused Robinson of being an enemy of the planet.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil’s co-founder Roger Hallam has avoided imprisonment after attempting to bring disruption to Heathrow airport by getting involved in an action to fly toy drones in the vicinity.
Hallam, along with Dr Larch Maxey, had previously been found guilty of conspiracy to cause public nuisance in relation to the Heathrow drones action.
Climate activists who attended court welcomed the fact that the men received non-custodial sentences.
While the judge said he was satisfied that all three men were committed to the principle of non-violence, he found them to be “naive” about the risks of the action.
The action was staged by the organisation Heathrow Pause, which called for plans for the airport’s third runway to be halted due to its projected impact on climate breakdown, noise and air pollution, and to open up a debate.
In a statement issued before the sentencing hearing, Hallam said: “Humankind is heading for indescribable suffering if we continue to put carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
