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.

Headline ending in a question mark..... the answer is always No.

At least there was some substance to this though. It was an interesting read.

"We can barely build, let alone build beautiful."

Longer version: Northstowe was supposed to be some idyllic, self sustaining eco-town but it's just a drab hellhole with nothing to do and even less of a soul.

A new development popped up in Nottingham recently. Nestled in between a main road and a train line, overlooked by the ruined husk of the old Virgin Media building, and conveniently across the road from a sewage plant.

I'm expecting them to complete and sell over the winter, because it smells delightful on any day over 20°C.

The answer is definitely no.
