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.

what we hear from customers, they don’t want to be sent lots of marketing and media messages that aren’t relevant to them

Yeah sure, if you phrased it as "do you want all the spam or slightly less spam?", if you'd been honest and said "do you want us to track you and sell the data to the highest bidder?" then a few more people would have your you to fuck off. I'd like you to sell me the products I actually want and fuck off with every advert full stop, but one step at a time, eh?
