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.

Because I don't think it's common knowledge, it goes some way to explaining (not excusing mind you, before you start salivating) what may or may not have happened. What's more, I don't think people want to know - or want others to know - because it muddies the waters and they just want good vs. bad.

I'm doing a great job sticking to my objectivity, it's just that when all you're surrounded by is half the story, anything contrary to the picture that that paints, looks like complete polar opposition.
