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.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) has told Liberation Times that they have no knowledge of crash retrieval programs relating to material of “unexplained origin”.

The MoD's denial comes after allegations of potential Five Eyes Alliance involvement in crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs relating to materials and craft of non-human intelligence.

Last week at a Congressional Hearing, former senior intelligence official David Grusch alleged under oath that such rogue programs exist without democratic oversight. His allegations have been found credible and urgent by the US Intelligence Community's Inspector General.

Speaking last night on the UK’s BBC Radio 4 and when asked whether this alleged coverup extends to other nations, Grusch responded:

"It does cross into other countries and other allies to include the Five Eyes alliance, which is something I've already stated publicly. “

Rags like the metro are already running the obvious anti subject articles that chose to discredit rather than investigate and report.

So I guess it wont be long until the daily fail and others join in with this line.

MOD is not aware of any salvage operations with materials of unexplained origin.

If I could get meat as finely minced as the MODs words, I could make a taco that's truly out of this world.

Still, considering the general competence of the current UK establishment, I'm not sure they could manage to keep something as hot as UFO crash retrieval secret. We are the country that managed to produce an armoured fighting vehicle that can't reverse up a curb after all.
