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.

He was arrested after the fact for one specific action he filmed himself doing, and the blow up of this on social media and the news. My point is that he managed to bring together many masked and black clothed men together, which seemed to surprise the police, whereas he has been acting in plain sight the entire time so maybe they are not focussing on these true acts of terrorism that's been happening all across the country for some time.
