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.

Their tactics and the fact that a large portion of their funding comes from the granddaughter of an oil tycoon makes it hard to think their goal isn't to purposely look like jackasses to diminish support for real environmentalism.
This is exactly what i think they are doing. I didnt know about the oil baron granddaughter funding it, but they are such fucking plebs and the message is being delivered to entirely the wrong people in the wrong places. They probably dont even realise they are sabotage acts. Seem to be passionate about the cause but even with a group of 10 of them they struggle to hit a cumulative double digit iq level. Get a new frontman you fucking goobers.
I think they're probably grasping at straws. The message has been delivered to the right people in the right places and nothing has been done. They do look like plebs but at least they're doing something beyond posting about it on social media somewhere.
But they're not doing anything. What they doing right now is just annoying people and achieving nothing at all. The people they need to influence are not going to change and the people that they're annoying aren't the kind who are in control to implement any change or to force any change.
So really they just being irritating for the sake of being irritating. We have enough people in the world like that already and they don't require any kind of ill conceived cause.
