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.

Presenteeism is such a daft model for employment. I am not sat at my keyboard for my whole work day. I could, if forced, but I'd literally get less work done and I'd burn out so quickly as to be a liability to my employer. Half of what I do is reading technical documents and understanding them. Lots of the time that means doing literally anything other than reading more documents - they need to be digested and that means not trying to cram even more data in.
