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.

If, as a giant corporate entity, your employees are getting wide spread abuse, you need to look at your company and assess why so much anger exists. The problem is likely rooted in Tesco treating it's customers like shit whilst they are living through an economic crisis.

Yes, somebody who snaps and draws a weapon is ultimately in the wrong, but with the numbers of customers Tesco has there was always a good chance somebody would snap.
