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.

Why is every politicians answer to everything "make the poor pay more money!"?
If I go buy the ingredients to make cheeseburgers for my family nowadays, out will cost just as much as if I went to burger king to buy them. The so called junk food is many times the cheapest option. These fucks just want to kill off the poor with taxes
The ones you make at home will undoubtedly be healther in a lot of ways than the BK ones though.
Yeah but you're missing the point. It costs the same, and I'm wrecked from work and don't have time or energy to cook, so I'll take the fast food every time
How is BK cheaper, they are so expensive? It's like 5.99 for a whopper. Or is this something like feeding your family the 280 calories saver burger which is £1.50?
Ok, but that's still a personal choice, you could cook but chose not to. If you gain weight or health issues from your diet that's not societies fault.
???
Not to mention the cost of electricity has skyrocketed in recent months, so cooking (esp. using an oven) is massively expensive.
I cook my own stuff from scratch, but that's because I have a job that I can work from home for, and that I can flex hours with. But I have the empathy to recognise that I'm privelaged in that regard.
