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.

MODERATORS
 

Main ones I can think of:

  1. Be attractive. If unattractive, at least be disabled in some way.
  2. Dress as skimpily as possible. Show legs at all time if female.
  3. Forget dancing, just throw your partner around. Get your face to her crotch at any opportune moment.
  4. Make really inappropriate comments to each other during the talking phase. Really sell the idea you're having an affair on live camera.
  5. Choose the shittiest pop songs you can find. Make sure it's not the original, but some shitty mock-soul cover.
  6. If a presenter, give off the impression of fighting a sickly illness. Anorexia is desired if possible.

Any other rules I'm missing?

Well you're missing the other 4 from your title for a start...

Isn't that...drumroll...the Point?

When the expert judge speaks, the one who is actually going to give constructive criticism to help you get better at dancing, everyone needs to yell "BOO FUCK OFF" at him like he's a pantomime Gargamel. Only non-critical criticisms are allowed.

The other judges are genuinely useless

Not entirely: they provide the lowest common denominator with cheap entertainment. But, you know, the same can be said for the whole show.

How are you going to cha-cha if you can't even count?

Bruce Forsyth was, like he was with many things, ultimately better than most at 6.

You do know you can go into another room and read a book if your mum wants to watch her dancing show?

I value my time with my mum, and don't get to spend much time with her, so I suck it up. But barely. Just barely.

I too value my time with your mum.

That's sweet, keep it up. Also, that's how I got sucked into enjoying an entire series, so you never know!
