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.

Why the fuck would a swimmer take that company to court.

Apologies, but shouldn't the government/council do that instead?

councils have been bankrupted by successive cuts over the last decade such that its a miracle some can still collect bins.

current government have no interest in causing trouble for their school friends, biggest party donors and future employment prospects.

It's funny you should say that, because my local council are currently struggling to collect bins. They haven't collected to bins for the cafe that's attached to my workplace for about 2 weeks now. It's getting grim.
