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.

"We'll let you go if you chemically castrate yourself" is just a round about way of saying "We'll detain you if you don't"
It's still a threat of force in an attempt to coerce someone into a medical treatment that they don't want
You'd still be let out after your normal sentence, nobody that sets the laws is advocating keeping them there forever.
To be clear, I disagree with it, it seems crazy to me.
I'm just pointing out that this reporting is saying something very different to all other reporting I've seen on this topic. I've not seen anywhere else report it as being forced.
