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.

too busy funneling money out of the company than paying for upkeep of any of it's systems.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Southern Water confirmed this morning that criminals broke into its IT systems, making off with a "limited amount of data."
The Black Basta ransomware group claimed the attack while publishing a snippet of the data it allegedly stole, which included:
The company said in a statement that if it finds evidence of customer or employee data being stolen, it will notify the affected individuals.
"We had previously detected suspicious activity, and had launched an investigation, led by independent cyber security specialists.
The water and wastewater industry has become an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals over the past year, prompting the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to prioritize engagement with it to the same degree as the healthcare and education sectors.
"To support and reinforce EPA's ongoing efforts, CISA is prioritizing the water sector in its engagements and efforts due to the significant level of cyber and physical risk associated with this sector combined with its relative lack of resources to address those risks," reads the agency's dedicated page for the water industry.
