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.

My main thought is that this is very reminiscent of the way saints are portrayed in stained glass.

It was a popular image floating around a little while ago

This is the oldest copy I could find, which unfortunately still has the watermark:


(high quality source)

There are older copies (all of them originating from Imgur), but unfortunately they all were deleted before I was able to retrieve any of them from TinEye.

Pretty clever use of the arch and the golden painted bricks to create a piece reminiscent of an icon.
