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.

Labour votes AGAINST letting disabled people use the bus for free before 9:30am (www.thecanary.co)

The restrictions also mean that disabled people can’t get a bus for free after 11 pm, because we don’t have social lives or jobs...

There are plenty of buses available after 11pm where I live

In cities, maybe. Everywhere else - forget it. We don't even have buses on Sundays round here. Mon-Sat you won't see one after about 7 or 8pm.

Yeah sure, but acting like buses after 11 is somehow irrelevant just because you don’t live in a place with them, when the majority of the population lives in big cities that DO is just ridiculous

I think they we're more going for an attack on the shit state of suburban/rural public transport than seriously suggesting that the reason for the vote was because there are no buses at that time

Yes, thank you.

In cities where the majority of the people live?
