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.

Honesty is the best policy, after all. Hopefully this list would not be extended later to include personal identification, and stick to purely statistic-based summaries of offenders. The only problem I see is the potential danger of overreach, as some of those marked as sex offenders are innocent and don't deserve to be hunted and killed by vigilantes that this may lead to. If the primary demographics are not white, this could lead to even more extreme violence and hatred against innocents. As much as I approve of vigilante justice, a trustworthy form of evidence collection and subsequent conviction or absolution is necessary. Individual opinion and misguided ideals bypass true justice.

It won't collect the statistics of the white, wealthy, and powerful who have always gotten away with their crimes because other white, wealthy, powerful people look the other way.
