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 was a bit confused by the use of "theft", for anyone else wondering they mean it in the opposite way most people think, where it's not the companies that are investing big ££££ into robbing us blind every minute, but actually normal people who are using electricity without gasp forking over the small monthly million pound tribute willingly.

there are also online tutorials which have prompted amateurs to carry out DIY interventions, with disastrous consequences.

You really can learn anything on YouTube.

How does electricity even work over there. I saw that season of industry and it sounds weird as fuck.
