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'm afraid that you will not be allowed back into your home today. The Met Office [or whatever it's called] has said that the weather pattern is for snow. Unfortunately, it's the wrong type for your locale. Please make alternative living arrangements until further notice."

Why not? They've failed miserably at delivering cost effective rail transport - it's cheaper to fly from your local airport on Ryanair to Spain and back to the local nearest destination airport - they might as well have a go at fucking up housing.

Guessing that the 'houses' are actually train carriages that have been continually stuck in sidings since time immemorial.

Never let facts get in the way of a good joke.

Oh! You and your 'facts' are soooo out-dated. We don't do that anymore. This is my truth.
