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.

This is why we need to teach kids to read.
JSO isn't about halting all oil consumption right the fuck now. There goal is to stop new licences being given out to drill for more oil. The idea being that we should at the very least try to not actively make the problem worse. And start the long process of actually decoupling our system from oil, so one day the entire world's economy DOESNT rely on oil.
Yeah they do a great job at getting that message across by... throwing paint on things and annoying people?
But by all means, make personal attacks against me, because as we are saying to you pissing people off and alienating them is great for the cause, great work!
If you don't want me to make fun of you for being dumb then just don't be dumb. You have the collective knowledge of the entire human race at your fingertips, which included JSOs cause and reasoning. Use it.
