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.

Hard disagree. Fuck off nanny state.
Ban smoking with proven second hand smoke inhalation effects - sure, incredible overreach but at least there's some semblance of logic, but vaping?
Just...Why? After 20 years of being studied every which way still no negative health effects at all have been found, not first-hand, not second-hand, but what has been found is that it's an extremely good smoking cessation device that actually gets people to stop smoking.
Nah fuck off, bus stops were bad enough but good luck enforcing this, everybody still puffing away at every bus stop and more and more just brazenly on trains and not about to stop anytime soon. Bad enough that not allowing vaping in restaurants/cinemas/cafes/bars is going to utterly obliterate the high street.
I know quite a few people who started vaping, but then smoking as well. Their logic seems really backwards to me, but what do I know...
Most people i know smoke, then vape to stop smoking and then they do both just to go back to smoking again. It's just a horrible habit all together. It's disgusting, unhealthy, cigarette litter is everywhere. In fact it's so much so everywhere that we just decided that cigarette butts isn't garbage and can be disposed literally everywhere.
I'm sorry, this must be awful for you. However we cannot base policy decisions on "most people" known by some guy, especially concerning the sensitive potential of government overreach.
