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.

I watched a documentary recently. I don't remember the name of it but it was a British couple with a large farm. The soil was in terrible shape. They let it go back to nature and got some pushback for ruining the land. I didn't finish watching but It seems like the idea in Britain for the majority is that nature sucks.

This was what I was watching

Country folk used to have a clue about nature because they relied on it to survive. Now they're just dumb rednecks with carbrain. Lately there's a ton of country bumpkins in Sweden who wants to kill all the wolves because they occasionally harm or kill their loose pets (if your dog lives in your home, it's a pet). They claim the wolves "aren't good for anything in nature". So we will likely have a massive increase of tick and mosquito borne illness soon due to deer overpopulation.
