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.

Excerpt:

Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.

The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.

“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”

It took several posts for you to admit art theft is bad.

Listen to yourself. Several posts to admit. What are some sort of detective? As if you've uncovered some hidden secrets? Because I hadn't used the words theft of art is also theft you assume I am pro art theft? This is your faulty logic, buddy.

Anyway at this point you're just calling everyone who disagrees with you a child

I'm specifically calling you a child 😉. Because you're a child.

refusing to actually engage with the argument

You have no argument. You're straw manning and trying to pick fights. Stop.
