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.

Will this one cover up Jimmy Savile, too? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/nov/02/jimmy-savile-bbc-journalists-risked-jobs-reveal-truth
ask about UFOs too while they're here
I mean... the fact that elements within the BBC covered up the activities of Saville isn't really disputable. That's not a conspiracy theory, it's just a crushing reality. Best case scenario, the BBC just negligently dropped the ball as an organisation for decades and that just specific individuals swept it under the rug and avoided detection. Whether that tarnishes the entire the entire organisation forever varies based on opinion.
but clearly i'm curious about something else
I don't think the IT R&D team had that much to do with Savile. And you don't either.
