United Kingdom
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.

Good point. But aren't most of the matches (and most sports generally) on paid/cable tv ? Everything of any consequence seems to be on Sky or BT Sports ? I rarely watch sport so I'm a bit out of the loop. I understood a handful of major events are legislated to have to be available on the BBC but only a few. Is that wrong ?
The "live tv" in the article above is just the stuff you need a TV licence for I thought ? BBC and ITV ?
If all the football fans are able to watch on BBC then all of sudden that's a much bigger number for sure.
