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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A murder investigation has been launched after two teenage boys were killed in a stabbing attack in Bristol that may have been witnessed by passengers on a bus.

The boys, aged 15 and 16, were fatally stabbed in Ilminster Avenue in Knowle West, south Bristol, at about 11.20pm on Saturday, Avon and Somerset police said.

But it makes me determined to support the community [and] work with the team of police officers that we have committed to this to identify those [responsible] and bring them to justice.”

An Avon and Somerset police statement said: “This is an incredibly shocking and tragic incident where two young boys, who had their whole lives ahead of them, have sadly died.”

A mobile police station was to be set up near the scene to take witness statements and gather CCTV and doorbell footage.

“I’d also like to remind people of the impact the sharing of images, footage or even discussing the incident online may have on the families of the two boys.


The original article contains 757 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

This needs a way to not start comments part way through

Edit: or at least start the paragraph with

"...

Yeah the bot definitely needs work identifying quotes and parsing them in another way.

It seems to just pick random paragraphs from the article.
