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.

Yes indeed, the Streisand Effect at work.
"See the violence inherited in the system!"
"Help! I'm being repressed!"

“And we’ll do it again”
£2500 in compensation isn't nearly enough to ensure this doesn't happen again. It's practically a license fee for over reach.
From a country that arrests people for burning the Quran & protesting Israel... I seriously doubt they've learned anything.
