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.

Why would Rabbis be immune from the law again? If you cannot legally perform a procedure then you cannot legally perform a procedure. No this wouldn't violate freedom of religion because holding them to the same law as everyone else isn't discrimination.
You've drifted from "everyone will just follow the law" to "I can't wait to throw a bunch of rabbis in jail"
Banning a sacrament?
You can't just call anything a sacrament and it magically becomes a different thing legally. It's perfectly ok to have standards for medical procedure and have it apply to all.
