United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

The Sun... that virtuous newspaper that used to pay 16 year old girls to leave school so they could pose naked for Page 3... made it clear this was a male "star" and a boy. It's a re-run of the Phillip Scofield nonsense. This wouldn't be front page of all the papers and radio stations if it was an older man and a teenage young woman. Sure, they'll be some coverage but not as much as this homophobic stuff
Oh I totally missed that. I thought the story was that he paid a girl for explicit photos. Not a boy.
