United Kingdom
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.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong they need to go to prison forever.
I’m not actually sure about Britain, even though I’ve lived here for 23 years, but in the country I come from there is something called “treatment punishment”, which is basically “you’ll be in treatment until you are well and safe to let out”, which is basically a prison for the criminally insane. Conditions are similar to prison but instead of being under education and having to work, you’re under treatment full time. If not responsive to treatment you’ll sit there forever. The average span is 22 years IIRC but some sit there for the rest of their lives. The mad professor who murdered a woman he had invited onto his home built submarine is in there, for example.
