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.

Did you see how he was treated at the G7? Like some tyrant from Game of Thrones with other leaders terrified of upsetting him.
I'm sure previous Presidents were just as entitled as Trump but they had more decorum and at least pretended to be in an alliance of equals.
Trump has shown how the "West" is really just the US and it's client states.
