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.

You're in the Netherlands, you have basically the same weather as us!
Now I want to have a comical photo where both the Netherlands and the UK are seen, but the Netherlands is people biking in the sun, picking up fruits from trees that have smiling faces and then England being under a dark roof of clouds and rain, dirty peasants with rags for clothes pull carts through the muddy streets.
That's mostly just Coventry...
Except the Netherlands is a flat country and the UK has a large area of high ground running down the middle of it. There is not a lot of difference when you compare the whole of the UK, but regionally some parts of the UK are very wet. The Netherlands does not get as much rainfall simply because there is not much high ground to force pressure changes with the clouds.
