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.

This woman is almost cartoon level type of evil. Even for a Tory.

Why do people talk about her as if her word is law and she is acting as an individual?

She's the mouthpiece for the whole political party! Does anyone think she makes these statements without the statements reviewed and authorised? This is what the conservatives think and they're sounding a dog whistle for ultra conservatives. These "fringe" issues are going to be easy places for them to score points with their conservative base by stomping on communities they all hate (e.g. homeless, poor, marginalised, non-cis sexuality, immigrants, mental illness......all these things for them point to weakness in a person and disease in society that they want to eradicate).
