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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a statement, the Met Police said it had imposed conditions on the activists under Section 14 of the Public Order Act, to "prevent serious disruption to the community, hotel and guests", and had asked them to move from the road and on to the pavement.
Fossil Free London's protest was organised for the first day of the three-day Energy Intelligence Forum - formerly called the Oil and Money conference - where bosses of Shell and Total were due to speak.
"People all over the world are suffering and dying from the consequences of the climate crisis caused by these industries who we allow to meet with our politicians and have privileged access to."
Maja Darlington, from Greenpeace UK, said: "Oil bosses are toasting each other in a luxury hotel and plotting how to make even larger profits, while millions struggle to rebuild after a summer of extreme weather.
Speakers at the conference include the chief executives of Saudi Arabia's Aramco and Norway's Equinor, the German ambassador to the UK and Graham Stuart, Britain's energy security and net zero minister.
Mr Stuart has previously said that allowing oil and gas companies to continue drilling the North Sea for resources is necessary for energy security.
The original article contains 513 words, the summary contains 204 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
They locked up the suffragettes for protesting too, back before women had the vote.
She’ll have a hard time crossing borders once she has a criminal record
I doubt it. Think of the unmitigated PR disaster for any government that bans her from entering because she cares about the environment. Easier to let her protest.
