United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

Try banning the rest of the pitbull breeds.
They banned one of four major pitbull variations, they just went out and got antoehr pitbull breed.
Breed legislation does work, but not with loopholes. Ban the rest of the most dangerous dogs, with the worst bite, that also has the most dog-on-dog attacks, dog-on-horse attacks, and dog-on-cattle attacks.
Sees evidence it doesn't work, *let's do it more".
They'll just buy rottweilers, or create a new breed. Ban those, they'll create more new breeds. Ban all dogs so there's no "loopholes", they'll raise goats or something. Ban all pets man, they might be working on an R.O.U.S., I don't want to be attacked by an R.O.U.S.
Breed bans don't work, you have yet more evidence it doesn't work (this isn't the only breed ban, it didn't work in the past, it hasn't worked in the present). It's weird to assert it'll work in the future. Instead address the actual problem why do people want and train animals to attack people.
If they banned one of four of the dangerous dog breedsz why aren't dog attacks down by 25%? Unless the problem isn't the dogs, but the people that abuse then.
