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.

Yet another L for world leaders resisting Greta's power.

I think that puts the score currently at

Greta:42069 Geriatric World Leaders: 0

They have to be upset with themselves for not even getting a single point on the board against the highly technical yet savage offense Thunberg can produce seemingly effortlessly.

Worth noting that these were changes implemented by the previous Tory government. The new Labour government was more or less happy to leave it to ride, but now it's been successfully challenged in court they're happy to let it fall by the wayside.

Such apathy. This government really knows how to say what it stands for!

What do we want, something, maybe!

When do we want it, by the end of the next parliament!
