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.

I hadn’t heard about the backlash! Who is that from, the ones portrayed by the program?
Pretty much, yes. Whenever an article pops up on my MSN news feed about that program I go straight to the comments and the people commenting parrot off the same sort of talking points the program is against. I'm almost certain they've never actually watched it.
Go poke your head into r/mensrights or similar. Basically everyone complaining that the show is going to get them cancelled or that the show misrepresented them or similar. It's pretty rare to see any comments suggesting the show is provoking introspection. Instead it is defend and attack.
Oh god, no. I’m not going back to Reddit, let alone a subreddit like that.
The lack of introspection doesn’t come as a surprise, that would also require self-awareness.
