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.

Here we go.
Ofcom aren't a ministry of truth, they're not affiliated with the government in any way. They are an independent regulatory body. Surely as an American you're familiar with your own FCC, yes? They serve the same function.
As for the content of the article itself, I agree that Ofcom should investigate. I don't see the problem having clear lines between politicians and news anchors. I actually don't think a politician should have any additional job or career that could cause a conflict of interest.
Edit: After perusing your comment history you're clearly a homophobic, transphobic climate change denier who just loves posting in communities you disagree with to engage in bad faith arguments. Thus I want nothing more to do with you and have blocked you.
