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.

What do you bet the owning company will suddenly go bankrupt (because all it's assets have strangely been sold for £1 to a new company with the same directors)
Even if they don't do that I think they'll go bankrupt, recreating the pub is probably far more expensive than they can afford
I think they are a reasonably large and apparently infamous (even before this) developer. They should have the assets to do this. Whether they actually use them or hide them is up for question.
They're clearly morally bankrupt. They'll do anything to not comply with the order if there's no money in it for them.
It depends if the directors.can be found legally liable. I don't think they can be financially liable unless it can be proved they have done something illegal (depending on their company setup)
They burned their pub down, that's definitely illegal. They then bulldozed it before the fire investigators could come in, extra illegal.
ALL THE ILLEGALS!!
Their entire history should be checked with several fine-toothed combs.
