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.

There's been a shortage of baby milk powder lately and people can get quite a bit if they steal it, like £20 a can plus, especially for the specialist ones like lactose free. I know there's people living on just grabbing it when it comes into the shops and selling it on once it's sold out. I'm sure shoplifting it is even more profitable.

I’d bet that people who are stealing food probably aren’t stealing it to resell.

Some are, especially those with substance abuse issues.
