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.

The dealers and users don't help themselves with discarding the canisters all over the street.

Society doesn't help itself by failing to provide non-street spaces for users.

You mean like the houses where they live?

Nitrous is only ever used by kids who reckon they're in gangs anyway. It's hardly a hardcore drug. They all actually do have some place to go they just prefer to hang around on the streets being annoying.

Completely false and very presumptuous.

Teenagers usually don't have houses of their own. Usually they live with their parents and don't want to get high around their parents.

Where? Where could teenagers take nitrous oxide together and without their parents? As far as I know, society provides no such spaces.
