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.

I can hear a Frenchman somewhere hon-hon-honing about the fact that our food culture is so pitiful, we have convinced ourselves we actually like eating an overrefridgerated supermarket sandwich out of a cardboard box and calling it lunch.

Have you ever had a french supermarket sandwich, hen? They're fucking awful. He's not right

Consider two people: one getting ready salted crisps, a BLT and a San Pellegrino, the other a spicy chicken pasta pot, the hard-boiled egg two-pack and a banana Yazoo. Which one would you rather have as your babysitter?

Dunno, I'm not a judgemental wank like you, I'd take it on merit

This is fucking GASH journalism and the advert for her "book" at the end says it all

They had another article a couple of weeks ago about abolishing landlords instead of building more houses. It was total rubbish, completely misunderstood housing supply, but had a good title. That was also a vaguely concealed advert for a book.

The Guardian used to be a good paper.

Who could forget this classic from the guardian about a mother who did not appreciate her son's tattoo.
