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.

Mate it's a camera made for punishing poor people. It's hardly terrorism. It's government/council infrastructure, no use to a civillian
An explosive being used to cause serious damage to property in order to "influence a government" is terrorism under the Terrorism Act. This is a leopards eating face moment for those who thought these laws would only apply to brown people.
Literally in the legal definition in the Terrorism Act:
Also, poor people in London don't generally own cars. Driving is not an efficient way to get around London and it's a luxury.
This is a tax on those better-off Londoners who do drive, and who drive older polluting cars - or who live outside London but drive their older polluting cars into London - to protect air quality for poor Londoners who don't drive but do suffer from the consequences of cars.
Also there's a massive scrappage scheme so that minority of poor Londoners who do drive - and who happen to old a petrol car that's almost old enough to vote - can get thousands of pounds of government money towards a new one.
So you're talking bullshit.
Yeah but it's still terrorism it's a bomb it could blow up at any time it could go wrong and kill someone.
