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.

That might be the worse website I’ve ever tried to open. Even in reader mode it was impossible!
Potentially controversial opinions:
A. We don't need to drink to enjoy the match. We've already had 6 England games quite early in the day without the need.
B. The government, with a bit of foresight and any degree of competence, could have legislated for this exemption given they control parliament and therefore hold ultimate power, at least for England maybe.
C. Of course, it's the lefty councils fault for not doing day PrOpEr PeOpLe want!?!?!
WHAT DO WE WANT?
