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.

Progressive
I think I maybe mistook the tone of your comment.
I think Greta is in a position to make a difference and amazingly in a non violent way. So when you said you far left activitist etc... It came across as the typical brain washed drivel you get from people who have been taken over and are being driven by snake oil salesmen that appear to have taken over general public discourse globally.
You're response, saying you think far left as progressive makes me think I was harsh in thinking this as I do think Greta is progressive, which I think is idionatically correct, however I don't think Greta's stance or activism is far anything so that is where my confusion came from.
I see. For the record I don't like progressivism, but it's not supposed to be a dig at her, just saying that she's at a protest that is aligned with her ideology, and it makes no sense to be mad at her for attending a protest or rally that's for a cause that she supports. Seems like a dumb thing to complain about to me.
They're outraged because she was arrested, not because she was there.
Ah,that makes a lot more sense.
