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.

It's almost like Rowling is always looking for a reason to talk about how much she hates trans people.

No matter where you stand on it you have to admit it's kind of sad with all her wealth and fame this is how she spends her energy

If we stop talking about her, she stops winning. Maybe she could spend her new found free time to actually write instead of being on social media.

Ignoring bigots only encourages more bigotry. She needs to be called out on her bullshit each and every time. Whether or not it has any effect on her isn't the point - it shows others that such behavior is not acceptable.
