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.

Which means the Residents will have to RATION their Water Usage going Forward!
-Britain's Government!
One cup of tea in the morning and one in the evening should be enough.
Thing is tea will be the last thing they ration, putting ANY limit, even as rediculously high as 20 a day, would cause riots in the street.
You can buy all the tea you want. Just the water is rationed.
Is… Is that ridiculously high?
It's above average, but I wouldn't call it ridiculous. It's just over a cup an hour.
If someone hit 50 cups I would be worried. At that point it's better to move to a bigger mug, rather than more cups.
We get our whenever the bell goes to tell us to get our tea.
When I was a web developer I definitely drank about that much a day. Whenever anybody was bored with what they were doing they would just go make a kettle as an excuse to bunk off for a bit.
2 cups an hour is taking it easy in our house!
There's already hosepipe bans
Only in some areas, no restrictions where I live fortunately. Just dumped a couple hundred litres on some food I am growing.
Well we are in the midst of a massive drought.
We always seem to be in the middle of a drought and yet the water companies never seem to be in any rush to fix burst pipes. Odd that
