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.

Rowling should have stopped saying things in like 2005 tbh
All she had to do was hold onto the ball and run out the clock
Literally just take it to the corner flag and turn around
I don't understand this sports metaphor but that's on me for chiming in on a British community discussion of a British celebrity that I do in fact no a little bit about. The good news is you can tell me its from basically any sport y'all like on the isles and I'll be like "wow so fascinating"
Haha that’s fair I realised afterwards that you probably weren’t talking about English football, but the concept I guess is the same - to waste time in a match where they’re ahead and only a few moments of the game remains, a football player might dribble the ball slowly and without a sense of purpose into the corner of the field. There is a flag in each corner of the pitch, marking the point where a corner kick can be taken. Are you American, by chance?
Yup! I was thinking basketball where once the shot clock no longer matters you stand at the top of the key dribbling and if anyone tries to steal it you pass to the corner
Celebrities should stick to what they good at. Her writing the book should give no authority to her opinions, even if we agreed with her.
It's not like she's forcing anyone to listen. I agree that she's a moron, but I don't understand the celebrities shouldn't have freedom of speech take.
No I'm glad she let us know who she really is
