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.

Honestly mate, comments like this don't help.
Quantising the whole world as good/bad with no in-between just puts people off considering another viewpoint.

You might have meant to say "People who still eat animals should think about why they hate this, but still eat meat", but it comes across as "People who eat any meat at all shouldn't be mad at this".

What you end up doing is lumping people who are genuinely trying to reduce their consumption over time, with people who eat steak for every meal and kick puppies.
