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.

His mother was a nurse and they moved to Florid and he ended up committing a stranger rape as a 14 year old and spent 20 years in prison.
She was from a wealthy, aristocratic family (her dad was page boy to Queen Elizabeth II) but went off the rails as a teenager. She was sent to stay at Synagogue, Church of All Nations in Lagos, Nigeria. A church who have had a large number of allegations made of systemic physical and sexual abuse.
They met by chance and were living in a tent for some time before they were in temporary accommodation with their 4 children when she was pushed out of the window while pregnant with her 5th causing social services to remove the rest of their children.
It seems to be a pretty tragic case of abuse, mental illness and incompetent and underfunded services that's resulted in at least one miscarriage, one infant death and 4 children being raised in care.
