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.

One leading charity reports of a case in which a woman had to sleep in her car for two weeks, during which time the council phoned her abusive ex-partner to ask if she could move back in. In another case, a woman was awarded £500 after the council failed to offer her permanent secure housing for ten months after she fled an abusive partner, despite admitting it had a duty to house her.
