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.

The UK’s houses are still designed to retain heat. In an age of global warming, that needs to change.

As someone who isn't made for the heat, I am finding the past couple of summers horrendous. Having good blinds and the windows shut helps, but for how long? Things just keep getting hotter.

I know but living in a dark cave is so depressing. I love having my curtains open to see the world....but that lets heat in
