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.

FWIW, he’s argued that very case from the beginning of the show…
That’s actually his entire point. He is fully cognizant of the fact that he is rich and wants to help be the voice of the common farmer that doesn’t have the resources he does. He said as much in his series.
this being a calling he found right when they discussed not excluding farmland from inheritance tax so...you know
how much of the land in the UK is farmed by the common farmer, and how much is enormous corporate latifundiums?
That’s something else he brought up. How common farmers are getting pushed out because of mega-corps. It’s worth watching at least the first season as most of those questions are answered
"Common" farmers are all multi-millionaires who hire farm labourers to do 90% of the work on their farms. Tenant farmers lease chunks of land off of "common" farmers, who are the aforementioned multi-millionaires.
Jeremy Clarkson is an overpaid entertainer and a cunt. His farm is about evading UK inheritance laws.
