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.

Alright.
So why are there like 8 police officers in the house before the arresting comment is even said?
Why was this fragile person with scoliosis and severe autism out, pissed up, past midnight on a Monday night in Leeds city centre?
I have no idea, but to play devil's advocate, it kind of sounds like this kid is a piece of shit and got arrested for it, and the parents are hiding her behaviour behind the autism shield for sympathy.
I'm suddenly reminded of that dying man who mooned a speed camera only for loads of police to swarm his house later on.
