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.

MODERATORS
At this point, I think we are more likely to get things that haven't been promised than those that have.
But this is no surprise. Keir Starmer screams conservatism. A far better choice than current Tories but still leaves much, much to be desired.
Though I'd still strongly encourage people to go out and vote. Not doing so plays right into the hands of the wrong people.
@lasagna @thehatfox A conservative government, socialist-flavour or otherwise, would be a vast improvement over the combination of radicalism, destruction, and theft of the recent governments, which whatever they might badge themselves have not been notably conservative.
Until Johnson there were some actually conservative Conservative MPs, in post, but if there are any on the back benches still, they are keeping their heads well down.
I have almost no doubt that even current Labour would be a vast improvement.
A government that puts immigrants into boats or tries to ship them to Africa? This is insane. Even if you completely avert your eyes to this humanitarian menace, it makes zero fiscal sense. Current Tories are evil, by the very definition.
