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.

Even with a year, there's a massive difference between 'I just have to get through this then I can head to my holiday home in the Maldives and crack open a couple of bottles of Bollinger' and 'this is all there is, forever'. Knowing it will end makes it bearable.

Good point. Let's just take everything off of them.

Totally agree. Have you ever seen Carnival Row? They had a one with at least 4 seats.
