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.

No it's not my opinion. Your problem is that you think that everyone is fighting you, well they are not, we're just pointing out that personal beliefs are not the same as legal truth. I just don't like disingenuous people who seem to think that because you want something to be the case it actually is the case.
Whether I like the law or not or whether you like the law or not isn't relevant. You can't break the law and expect anything other than prison time and fines, just because you think you have some moral authority. It's not my problem if you don't like it.
You're missing the point. Whether the punishment was fair based on the law isn't the same as the punishment being fair period.
