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.

Not voting, if you're otherwise able, is a tacit acceptance for how things are.

Presumably you don't want to vote for the incumbents, so vote for someone who'll replace them, whether you like that option or not.

Voting out a bad lot is the only legal way we have to protest.

And then vote third party next time if they don't change things to your liking. Then fourth. Fifth. Etc.

Don't like the political parties? Start one.

Think the whole lot should be lined up and shot? (For legal reasons this is purely metaphorical.) Start organising.

But if that's too much for you, vote.
