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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two people have been charged in connection with the felling of the world-famous Sycamore Gap tree.
Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, both from Cumbria, have also been charged with criminal damage to Hadrian's Wall last September.
The men were originally arrested last October and had since been on bail, Northumbria Police said.
The pair are due to appear at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on 15 May.
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
