United Kingdom
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.

Good, it was bullshit. Tell me about the voluntary work in Mali your parents financed. Tell me about the work placement your family arranged. Tell me about the online company your family set up with you. The last one was literally a suggested topic for an Oxbridge application, the assumption was you'd have been importing and selling Italian food online as a 17-year-old, completely deranged. If you had shitty, abusive parents, then what?
Or lovely but poor parents. I hated the whole gap year culture when I went to University. Everyone carried on like they were so cool. No, you weren't, you were just rich enough to afford flights and to do fuck all for a year.
