General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.

How much more of its reputation can the BBC afford to lose over this? I wouldn't be surprised if more of their top talent leave in the coming months for being dragged into this circus.
Like it or loathe it, the BBC is the UK's most important broadcaster by a country mile.
If the BBC's internal procedures are shown to be reasonable and to have been followed, which it appears so far to have been the case, then I don't see anyone jumping ship about this.
People do dumb stuff all the time, some of which may or may not be illegal. It isn't an employer's responsibility until the employer finds out about it. What matters is the response and, so far at least, it appears the BBC has done fairly well this time, although perhaps more effort could have been made after the initial followups made by the BBC to the original complaint were ignored.
