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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two boys were told they "must do something" to pay their parents back as they were sentenced for killing more than 20 animals at a London college.
The boys, 11 and 12, had admitted causing criminal damage and unnecessary suffering to animals during a break-in at Capel Manor College on 25 February.
The boys killed animals and destroyed enclosures causing £10,000 worth of criminal damage during a break-in at the college campus in Gunnersbury Park.
The boys also stole various animals from the environmental college, including ferrets and guinea pigs.
During mitigation, Harriet Palfreman, defending the 12-year-old boy, said her client "understands the gravity of the offences committed" and that he is "susceptible to impulsivity".
Dafne Moran Toha, defence lawyer for the 11-year-old, said both boys were "extremely remorseful for their actions".
