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.

US food standards in a nutshell.

Worth noting that UK costoms allowed the import of sweets made with illegal in the UK ingredients for years.

As bad as US food standards are. This is a huge failure of UK standards enforcement. Not a US one.

Well it is also a failure of the US to implement decent food standards.

Yep but they are enforcing the standards they have. So it's more not wanting to then failing.

We are failing to enforce. The US has now requirement to meet UK standards. We have the requirement to ban companies that don't.
