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.

It's kind of why it's the perfect stick to beat them with - they can't win. The Sun newsroom must be really quite pleased with itself, which is never a good sign.
We'll have to wait and see what comes out of this - serious questions need to be asked if the family didn't give the BBC evidence at the time (of something that could be a child sex offence) but waited months and told The Sun (although they say they haven't received payment). Something isn't quite right with the stories emerging but it will take a while for the truth to shake out.
Have you got a source for that?

If so, that sounds unrelated - that's the BBC wanting to name someone and being blocked by the individual via a court injunction. The individual in that case is already subject to ongoing criminal investigation.
