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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mr Williams said it left "a gap in Northern Ireland's production schedule" as many local crews and companies have been relying on the project for work.
To date, just over £1.5m has been spent on preparations to bring the production to Belfast, but BBC News NI understands this money is in the process of being recouped.
in a statement on Thursday, NI Screen's chief executive expressed disappointment that Northern Ireland would no longer host the production.
"We are conscious that these difficult decisions do happen in the screen industry, particularly with the most expensive projects which carry the greatest expectations," Mr Williams said.
Blade Runner told the story of Rick Deckard, a detective whose job was to "retire" human-like robots called replicants.
Deckard was played by Harrison Ford, who reprised the character in the 2017 sequel, which starred Ryan Gosling as well as Jared Leto and Robin Wright.
