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.

That’s really interesting. Wonder if it would be possible to crowdfund to do something similair.

What a lovely man.

I mean it should be feasible. Once you work out what the costs involved in setting up a company. There is a likely a process where you bid against other companies to buy debt. Then you just get to send people nice letters saying you won’t chase the debt or you’ll write it off.

Where I live it's $150 to register a business, so I guess add whatever lawyer fees you might need but otherwise it doesn't seem like it should be too hard.
