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.

My kid just started secondary school the cost of their uniform is fucking ridiculous. Easily running into the 100s.
They needed socks with the schools logo on it. Absolutely ridiculous.
It's about time we abandoned school uniforms altogether, it's a burden on both parents and teachers.
I'm in two minds about school uniform. I don't like the concept in general, but in my own personal experience, I was glad we did have it. We didn't have much money, and my mum was really strict about western clothes. I would have been picked on for not having any designer clothes/branded trainers (good old 90s) and wearing Indian clothes.
We didn't have those stupid logo rules though. As long as it was the right colour and we had a school badge attached to the jumper, it was fine.
Most bully's just find something else to bully you about, if not your clothes it's your hair, if not your hair it's the way you walk etc. Bullying can't be solved by trying to make the victims 'normal'. The problem lies with the bully's not the victims.
