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.

Years ago me and a couple of mates built mini shallow-level submarines. Initially they were remote controlled, then programmable (since radio waves don't like water) and eventually we got to the point where they could travel a few miles at a time underwater, surface enough to expose their GPS antennae to confirm a fix and link to Meshtastic for updated instructions, and then carry on their way. My point is these smugglers need to get their shit together. "Mother ships"? Give me a break. Amateurs.
What were your smuggling?
Dreams.
Good thinking.
Those are illegal in the UK now. Along with everything else.
