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.

Like back in 2010, when they campaigned on heating allowances for OAP's, which they didn't bother to action until the 2015 election - by which time most of the people who voted that way had already died off!

None of them vape so they don't care enough to block it. What will have happened is some civil servant will have suggested that it's a good idea, and because no one wanted to block it they're going to do it.

They just exist to make sure that laws that are enacted don't affect any of their backroom backers. I guess disposable vape companies don't have connections.
