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.

It's illegal for a 5 year old to drink alcohol at their home. That's why I said after the age of 5 which is the law. Plus I was making a joke which seems to have gone right over your sweet little head.
That was a joke?
It went over my head too.
I challenge you to highlight the bit that was a joke because there was no joke you just made a stupid comment.
The fact that you can technically drink alcohol at 5 is in no way contributing to kids underage drinking because no 5-year-old is drinking alcohol. Underage drinking happens because idiot adults are buying kids alcohol it's got nothing to do with the drinking age laws. If they increase the drinking age to 21 like in the United States it would have literally no difference
