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.

MODERATORS
Plus the standardised testing, plus the reliance on the falsehood that memorisation of facts = education, plus the terrible student to teacher ratio, plus the hostile classroom environment which leads to bullying, plus the complete disregard for individual learning styles and forcing 1-hour lessons and constant switching of topics...
Yeah, there's a lot more wrong with the education system than it looks like labour have plans to fix.
They will still get my anti-tory vote, and to them that's all that matters, but they won't get my pro-labour vote with this as it's clear that real education reform is still a lost cause.
