One of the reasons I cancelled my Private Eye membership was it just made me miserable reading about all the grifting, and the level of "No, I'm not doing anything" that anyone trying to combat it had to constantly fight through.

That was exactly the same reason i stopped reading Private eye. Its relentless and seemingly nothing will stop the corruption

As an avid reader of Hungarian domestic politics news, I can confirm that the deluge is a feature, not a bug. Having read the hundred thousandth article about the prime minister's inner circle winning yet another tender, yet another government contract, monopoly over one more industry, most people get desensitised to the point that they zone out completely. What's the point if there is no other lane but the VIP lane?

Probably not that much, considering how flagrant they seem to be these days.

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.
