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.

If she was 18 and drinking in a pub, I have no issue whatsoever. However she was 16 and drinking on the street at midnight. Her mother can't allow her out to do that, but at the same time argue that she's such a special delicate flower that she shouldn't have to take criminal responsibility for hate speech. Pick a lane.

Also, if a 16-year-old in the UK wants to go out and get pissed, stopping them is no easy feat.
