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.

~~the breeds of the two dogs who killed the man in Stonnall is currently not known~~

Staffordshire Police said it was understood the dogs were XL bullys, but further tests were being carried out to determine their breed.

Article has been updated. Not a surprising update.

It's known now. Sunak has just confirmed it, and announced Bully XLs with be banned within the next few months.

Many thanks. I wish I was surprised. The XL ban was announced before the breed involved in this incident was announced.
