United Kingdom
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.

What is that?
Currently I can watch channel4 just by setting my VPN to the UK (after registering a free acount with a throw-away email)
A system by which the BBC services - TV, radio, web etc are funded so that they remain advert free.
So, it's just the name of the fee, not some actual licence (ID or code) your have to have?
Yep. Each household must pay if they watch live TV from any broadcaster; or content from the BBC whether it is live or not. But there's no way to check.
