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.

The PCSC act was a real chunk out of the right to protest and it's been biting lately. But with Palestine Action, it was the Terrorism Act, whose abuse was predicted at the time but few people cared about, which was abused to arrest over a thousand innocent, peaceful people. I hope this is taken seriously and learnt from when warnings about breaches of fundamental rights to free speech and other freedoms are raised now.
