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.

Wait, what's wrong with spoons, besides the obvious?
I think they might be referring to the owners politics, specifically his very strong Leave campaign during the EU referendum. Could be wrong though.
IIRC, the owner chose to support brexit because it might mean the UK implemented minimum alcohol pricing sooner, which might have increased his trade when the gap between supermarket and pub drinking got smaller.
It really rubbed me the wrong way that was his reason.
What do you mean besides the obvious
Well spoons isn't exactly known for its fine dining. Don't get me wrong, it's a great place to go for a few cheap pints, but it really shouldn't be anyone's favorite.
