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.
embarrassing blunder that the defence secretary, Grant Shapps, insisted did not reflect incompetence.
“HMS Chiddingfold’s motor was wired incorrectly and full ahead gave full astern,” a navy insider said

I think the mistake itself doesn't necessarily point to incompetence, however the fact that it wasn't properly tested and verified does.
Fr, I know 1984 comparisons elicit eyerolls at this point, and for good reason, but come on. "We're not incompetent, we're simply incompetent."
