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.

Is it true that like the Inuit have hundreds of words for snow, that the brittish have hundreds of words for rain?
We have ways to describe rain from "that fine rain that gets you really wet", to "its pissing down" and "cats & dogs". Not quite Inuit levels of specificity. However, you aren't even British if you can't hold a solid rain conversation
In Scotland there's "smirr", which is a very light drizzle.
It's spitting, it's spitting
🤣👌
No, on both counts.
