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.

Subscriptions to their online groups, the War Room and Hustler's University, appear to bring the brothers around $5m a month in membership fees, prosecutors say.

This is sad. Horrible people spawning more horrible people.

It is a problem that the left needs to find its own way of responding to. Right now there are a lot of young disillusioned boys who are being left behind by society. They latch onto these radical right wing ideals/grifters who tell them that they can make all their dreams real if they'll buy our memberships and treat people this and that way. Our society is changing and we need some way to help those who are left behind or we will continue to see an increase in radicalized young men!

Jesus, that's so depressing. People just want to belong to something, but seeing them find a home somewhere like that makes me feel so sad.
