United Kingdom
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.

Inspection of home, walking, traveling skills, leash skills, etc. Do it every year or every "birthday" of a dog you have.
I own large dogs and would be fine with this. I'm walking around with a weapon, if I train it to be so
No one "needs" a dog outside of a service dog, and that's a whole other Convo.
Do it every year? Tried to book a driving test lately?
There are 13 million pet dogs in the UK let’s assume people own multiple dogs. That’s 10 million tests a year. Let’s assume the test are quite hard. That’s a few thousand (10,000?) additional dogs removed from owners each year that need to be rehomed or put down.
Easier to neuter, muzzle and outlaw proscribed breeds.
I don't get why people think one breed is worse than another. I have had Rottweilers, bullies, staffies, most of these "dangerous" breeds.
They have all been very good dogs, some I would say were some of the most gentle giant type dogs I've had, because I didn't train them to be aggressive.
Just because a bully dog tends to be owned by a twat that likes to kick it and encourage it to attack other animals doesn't mean all dogs of that breed are the same.
Both. Phase in.
