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.

Another... what, exactly? Rude, unpleasant person who happens to be either gay or bi? (I think I get this message from the reporting, but I'm not certain that I've specifically seen the gender of the original "young person" mentioned now that I think about it)
This is such an obviously confected story to fling shit at the BBC. It disappoints me that so many otherwise articulate and sensible people seem to be swallowing it hook line and sinker.
He always seemed so nice, not really rude or unpleasant
I've still got no idea who people think it is.
Nor do I care to, because it ain't remotely sodding important.
I meant it seems like they have another scandal on their hands. Of course it's all speculation at the minute but they've had a few in recent years, as have many I suppose.
Okay, that's fair, they do have another scandal to weather (contrived though it appears). Sorry, I thought I read a slight undertone of "filthy BBC got anuvver nonce innit" :)
