    This seems to be the next level of culture wars. They have no interest in researching why there is an increase in shoplifting occurrences.

      I’m sure there is a huge correlation between people who shoplift because they can’t afford necessities and people who can afford an up to date passport, this legislation is foolproof!

        There’s certainly a huge correlation between people who commit crimes of survival and people the Tories don’t want to be able to vote (for which you now need photo ID).

        And a huge correlation between not being a white guy and false matches with facial recognition.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.
