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 always wonder why people get so upset by other people getting care they need.

Me thinks it's them trying to cope with a need for control when their life lacks any. In other words: my life sucks so should yours.

And for anyone saying they do it because they want to save lives, there are so so many NGOs in need for volunteers. Shit, pack your backs and go somewhere where you can remove APLs.

Because someone told them that it's an outrageous thing they should get upset about. Divide and conquer.

I wonder why that always works, though
