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.

This title is total bollocks.

As for the opinion if the author, I can understand their frustration, but calling for bans and mandates for political opinions, however abhorrent they may be does not work.

The thing is, there is always sort of a truth in the middle - there are communities suffering from mass and badly controlled migration, but whenever they raise their concerns, or hold a demonstration, racists are quick to hijack it and take the reigns. I once ran a Minecraft server which had a guy who was moderately right wing run a faction. However another guy joined and behaved himself, but invited tonnes of people who definitely couldn't, and suddenly we had a nazi bar problem at hand of racists flooding a Minecraft server.

Communities are suffering from 14 years of misgovernment, that's what people should be angry at, blaming migration hands the tories a massive free pass.
