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.

Edit: O P says the article headline was changed, and the post title has been corrected now. So removed my downvote, leaving this for the record. I hate deleted comments. ~~Downvoted for the shit title. Article headline says £19 a year. £94 over a random 5 year period, may as well say it goes up by £1880 per century… That said, it’s another shitty case of socialise the losses caused by mismanagement.~~

Mmm earlier it said £94, the extracted body text said "X and X" and now it's £19.

Fair enough. Updated my comment.
