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.

Problem is currently everyone thinks they've got a golden goose and don't want to accept the prices their properties are actually selling for. The amount of aggressive comments I've heard from sellers in the last few months only for them to come back because guess what no one's buying at that price. A lot of people are trying to get a head of a crash which means there's a lot of mucking about with cold feet, maxing out mortgages that suddenly can't be maintained when the government and the bank of England do a whoopsie and dillusional values.
