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.

Well yes, police don't care about theft, unless the victim is a business. The police basically exist to protect capitalists and their interests, not us.
What very little they do for us, detering and solving murders and whatnot, is just a means to this end - business/capital in an area will suffer if there are murders.
Your house being burgled doesn't affect anyone but you, so why should the coppers care?
:-(
Not true! If you're a member of the police, a close relative of the same, or anyone who can take legal retribution against the police farce or manage to make them look exceptionally bad in some way, then you'll be cared about too!
