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.

So this guy traveled down from Rotherham to Devon to murder an old lady and they have no motive? No manifesto written in blood?
If it was just a random person who drove a distance to commit the crime, it's honestly pretty impressive that they caught him. I wonder what they had to go on.
Apparently his DNA on the murder weapon, plus camera footage.
His car was seen parked outside the house —> ANPR —> ID
Probably fingerprints and/or DNA. You don't go from being a perfectly law abiding citizen to a murderer in one go, this guy will definitely have been in the system.
Oh they're definitely withholding stuff, initially I wondered if it was because they were worried that the likes of Tommy 10 names were going to try and turn it into a riot opportunity, but since this guy is as white as you can get I'm not really sure what the point of withholding information is.
They had better release something soon or this is going to get the conspiracy theorists all riled up. I'm actually sort of amazed reform have been so quiet on this.
You might wanna not skip over this bit
former Conservative minister and Reform UK spokeswoman
She’s still nowhere near the top of the hitlist if you were going after Tory chodes.
Also, are you explaining who Ann Widdecombe was?
Yeah, it's pretty weird. If there's not a personal vendetta involved you're left with, what? An old lady being the only person he thought he could actually kill?
