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.

This is truly horrific

Horrible, is anything known about the motive?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Apparently, the suspect was the ex-boyfriend of Louise Hunt and they split up last week.

Men harming ex-partners. Unfortunately not uncommon.

"Ex-girlfriend" ... I think you can put a hypothesis together.

Buried deep in the article it mentions that one of the daughters was the murderer's ex, maybe they had a bad breakup and he decided that was it

I think "bad breakup" is an understatement
