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 sold a washing machine second hand and the guy with a ute (pickup-truck) that came to get it spent ages securing the load in the centre of the bed so that it wouldn't rub on the expensive rub bars. This guy was so fucking fragile about his ute I was amazed. I've known blokes to buy a new ute and basically had the attitude of the tray is for working, if you damage the cab I'll be pissed. They've also had a simple metal tray, not some painted complicated thing without decent tie down points.
