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.

Immediately critising someone/a group for doing the right thing but not doing enough/quickly enough is probably one of the main reasons its so hard to get traction for progressive politics. It's incredibly tiresome.

Agreed, it comes off as petulant and is really grating when fellow supporters get all smarmy when said individual/group doesn't immediately adopt the next thing in progressive politics the nanosecond it enters public discussion.
