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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two men have been arrested by officers investigating an explosion in which a ULEZ camera and surrounding property were damaged.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command arrested a 60-year-old and a 61-year-old over the incident in Sidcup, southeast London.
Detective Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry said: "The explosion could easily have had far more harmful consequences, and today's arrests highlight just how seriously the Met is treating the incident.
"My local officers are continuing to work with and support the Counter Terrorism Command who are leading the investigation due to their specialism in dealing with incidents involving the use of explosives."
After the explosion, a spokesman for the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "This grotesquely irresponsible behaviour puts both lives and property at risk."
The move sparked fierce opposition and police have recorded more than 1,000 crimes linked to ULEZ cameras being stolen or vandalised.
