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.

Honestly makes me sick and angry, especially I know family members who think they are in fact living in paradise.
Despite?
Yes? This is what a profit driven organisation is supposed to do.
I love it when people are surprised that for-profit businesses seek profit above all else. Like they assume there will be always be a set of strict laws to keep them in check and just assume they will strictly follow those laws because they're laws.
Then they go ahead and vote for people who say that there are too many taxes and regulations. As if those taxes and regulations aren't exactly the same laws they're expecting to keep the for-profit businesses in check, which are often not even close to being sufficient in the first place.
The cognitive dissonance is wild. People are fucking brainwashed.
