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.

Didn't help when one flew up behind us on a narrow pavement, no warning, smashed into my best mate and broke his leg. If it was my daughter it would have killed her. This is one instance among almost daily occurances of near misses when I'm walking of cunts on e-bikes and e-scooters speeding with zero care on narrow pedestrian walkways that are already NOT suitable for pushbikes, let alone anything else. Why not use the fucking road?!

They need to be fucking controlled and serious penalties brought in for those who use these without care for others.

Does the same not happen for normal bikes?

Not at the same speed or ferocity, no.
