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.

I truly fail to understand the logic besides protecting personal interests. By most metrics it's a success.

Unless he believes that if the council workers can be this efficient and productive in 4 days and that productivity hasn't been affected then the council workers should be able to do extra with that extra day and they obviously weren't doing enough before.

It's twisted logic, but there's a sense to it? If you manage to forget that people are people and need time away from work in order to be more productive, happier, etc
