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.

I don't think it's any surprise that we are the second worst for mental health in the world. If the Tories genuinely cared about the economy rather than ideology they'd invest heavily in boosting the mental health sector and making sure we had a good supply of the medication.

They could also stop making everything worse, since that tends to lead to more negative mental health outcomes.

They are pathologically incapable of doing the right thing.

If you gave them the trolley problem they wouldn't be able to cope because they wouldn't be able to figure out how to run everyone over.
