United Kingdom
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.

garden plug outlets should have an appropriate breaker on them for whatever they’re rated at… you can use them for whatever you like: they’re no different from an inside plug other than being weather proofed… why would they be any different? old extension leads are also fine for charging a car, as long as the insulation is fine and they’re rated the same as the breaker… again, why would they not be? its not like extension lead technology has exactly changed much: it’s a chunk of copper surrounded by non-conductive material
it doesn’t become a fire risk simply because it’s old…
