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.

In the limbo analogy, I suppose this would be a very high bar, you could just walk on through, no limbo-ing needed
Americans can’t. Would have to be a drive through limbo.
Alternative headline: Brits not quite as fat as Yanks, and slightly less deluded about it
The numbers don't make for great reading for either side of the Pond and there's a lot of things we, as individuals, can do to help ourselves and free up NHS resources for those that can't.
Is it that Britons are more likely to doubt their health, or is it that Americans are pathologically afraid to be sick because it can bankrupt them, so they tend to overestimate their health in order to not have to go to the doctor.
By my maths, people born in 1970 are 54, not 30-40.
It’s a conspiracy!
