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.

But not disposable lighters?
disposable vapes come with built in lithium batteries, while (most) disposable lighters don’t. so there is a very real difference between the two. but disposal lighters are also stupidly wasteful, so it would be nice to ban those as well.
Lighters last a super long time and they don’t contain batteries which is the real concern.
flashbacks to last 4th of July where we needed to get 4 different disposable lighters before one worked
Not that the actual lighters are any better, those dry out on their own with no use.
Hate to be a shill, but were they of the Bic brand or were they shitty knock offs?
I don't remember probably about a 50/50, chance. We just get whatevers at the store because we hardly use lighters
I've never seen a "disposable" lighter that didn't have a gas filling hole.
went to my junk drawer and got one, Doesn't have anything on the bottom and top won't come off without breaking
Thanks for sharing. Indeed no hole, but definitely refillable. I agree, It's not the most user friendly option, but still an option.

huh, interesting didn't know that. Thanks for sharing too, have a good day!
You can actually remove it pretty easily. I recall because I removed that shiny metal bit so I could follow a life hack video that allows you to increase the flame size. I'm sure you could take it off and refill it.
