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.

Yes, this is the thing Manny fails to understand. While local government behaves a certain way, often it is dictated by policy from the government in Westminster, such that if they didn't behave that way they wouldn't get the meager funding they do have.

I'm sure Bristol council are corrupt, but not much more so than others. Meanwhile, the biggest corruption comes from Westminster.

But hey, Bristol aren't Tory, so Manny will criticise them first.

Sack the fucking lot of them, I say.
