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.

It could also be seen as less personal gain and more that he put his money where his mouth is and made a company to actually do what he's been proposing schools need to do. Now they have the avenue to do so.
Yeah maybe. I'm certainly conflicted on this, because I don't think he's wrong, but him financially benefitting from this in a big way does leave a slight sour taste in my mouth.
He's not campaigning to have his company's food served at schools, just for the rule compelling schools to serve meat to be changed. His argument is that it is better for children's health and for the environment that less meat is eaten - and he's right. It doesn't automatically follow that his company will gain from any change, as there are many other options available to schools and it's perfectly possible for existing meat providers to start providing meatless meals.
A bit like some of his food - it's not that great. but he has a point as it should not be compulsory for meat to be served. I the staff and pupils were 100% vegetarian, then you wouldn't expect meat to be back on the menu boys!
