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.

I'd rather be sure the least worst win and still protest etc I think. It's a Tory stronghold where I live though, and ukip matched the labour votes last election in my constituency.

As long as you're holding their feet to the fire, what you do at the ballot box is your call. In safe seats, you can do whatever the fuck you want (but unless the candidate lines up with your politics, simply voting Labour as if all was fine with the world is the worst thing you can do).
