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.

Imagine having the luxury of being able to complain that your paternity leave isn't long enough. Makes me, here in the US, glad I've got no intention of having kids.

You’re not the only one who’s glad you’re not having kids.

There's nothing stopping people from doing the same in the US. I don't really see how you don't have the luxury.

Hard to complain, when they're busy kissing the corporate boot

You absolutely do have the luxury to do that. You just choose not to. Some other issue being "higher priority" doesnt prevent anyone from engaging with smaller issues.
