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.

Funnily enough, the image the Guardian have used is not the CE marking, it's the so-called China Export mark that means to gull buyers into thinking the product is CE assessed.

Common man, you can't just come along and counter a claim with 'no it's not' on a platform like this for a topic that isn't so clearly common sense.

My response is a link though, to an article explaining the situation

I am so sorry! It seems that my app's darkmode doesn't seem to distinguish between links and standard text very well.

Judging by the amount of upvotes my comment got and noone corrected me before you I assume this is a common issue (or my app is one of the more common ones).
