United Kingdom
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.

Hmmmm.
We're losing out on money by keeping it illegal (taxation) and using taxpayer money trying to stop it?
In our two party system both Cons and Labour don't want sensible drug reform either... Somebody make it make sense?
Worth remembering the UK is one of the worlds largest legal cannabis exporters.
And a number of MPs are known to be part ofbthe industory.
So legalising recreational in the UK would also make it easyier for small competitiltors to compete with those larger companies.
Like much of the restricted product industory. The complexity of licencingbmakes it advantagouse to the wealthy.
It is worse still. Gifting such a lucrative market to the criminal underground, funnels a lot of money to organized crime. Wouldn't surprise if they are influencing to keep the status quo.
