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.

You want to know the absolute stupidest thing. The main train station in my area is being redeveloped, which is great, but the problem is it's taking forever and in meantime there are no services to the station at all.

So they have taken a functioning station, and under the guise of upgrading it, have shut it down. The only train service available now is the Grand Central to London, and that's because they route it through a village station as its primary station, because that makes sense.
