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.

MODERATORS
The government are now just branding any and all anti-Israel, anti-IDF, pro-palestinian rally or protest as "supporting Palestine Action" and using that to shut it down and arrest people.
Whether or not anyone actually said or did anything in support of that particular organisation.
Whether or not you believe that defining Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation or not, that's a dangerous precedent to set.
"Dangerous" works too, but I prefer "fascist." Authoritarian states are built on legal fictions like these.
No they aren't. Palestine Action is illegal. Because they're terrorists. The rest are fine.
