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.

You can't ban all useful things that can also be used as weapons. It's too many. New ones are invented as you read this. You gonna forbid baseball bats? Bricks? Tree branches? Tools? This can't work.
You gotta draw the line at things that have been created to be used as a weapon.
Exactly, kitchen knives are used because they're readily available.
Screwdrivers can be used to stab just as effectively.
However, I have a solution. Make the handles gay rainbow coloured. No self respecting gang member is going to carry a batty knife.
