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.

Yes they should be.

But fuck they are the pettiest people in the world.

I'm not saying they aren't a close ally, they are. I'm not saying we shouldn't work with them more, we should.

But we aren't going to have a close relationship with them because they can't stand us or anyone else really.

Long term I feel like Germany is a much closer ally. Culturally they act much more similar to us. France only act closer militarily which is where the main focus of that relationship should be.

Canada, nz and aus should also be kept as closest allies.
