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.

being against disposable vapes does not equal being against vaping; I sort of can't believe this needs to be explained: the environmental cost of disposable vapes is preposterous, they should've been banned from day one. if they want to make it about the children: whatever gets it done, but I want it done because buying something like that when it is explicitly meant to be thrown away is outrageous.
i sort of cant believe i just asked a question, calm tf down ok youre passionate, but theres a huge difference between a disposable vape and 40-50 cigarette butts, lets go for the lesser evil right?
Vapes use a significant amount of non renewable materials such as lithium batteries and plastics. These are then just thrown away and often explode in waste processing centres
How is letting battery chemicals seep into the water table, and plastics in the ground "the lesser evil"?
