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.

There is a legal limit of 182 days to hold someone in custody, which is there for obvious and important reasons.
I'm well aware of the CTL and also that it can be extended in certain circumstances, as it was in this case. It even says this is possible in the link you provided.
There is recourse in law (again in the link you provided) to seek a review if you feel CTL is unjustly extended but it's interesting that the people who were subsequently found guilty of their crimes didn't seek a review when they could have done so.
You might conclude that the people who commited these crimes had the conviction in there beliefs to do it but not quite enough belief to actually accept the consequences of breaking the law. That's pretty pathetic isn't it?
