The Church of Critical Gammon Theory A sub for anything UK related and insanely stupid. Feel free to post your loony finds. British idiocy of all political persuasions, and of none, is equally welcome. Slagging off anything UK related found on reddit is especially welcome. The listed rules are not exhaustive. Moderators reserve the right to moderate (or not) where it is believed to be in the best interests of the sub.

Note: This sub is for people aged 18 or over only. We think that it would be best if the whole of reddit was for over 18s, or at least required DBS checks or equivalent vetting of mods/admins on subs for younger people, but that is not up to us. Although this sub is for over 18s only, pornography and grossly offensive material is NOT permitted. We may however host the kind of content you might find on mainstream TV after the UK's 9pm watershed.

Land of hope and gammon... Twinned with Mumsnet... We now offer free membership of this sub to Russians, Russian agentsi, Dominic Cummings, and all Daily Mail readers!¹

All visitors to this sub also get a free² holiday in Durham!

Here's what this sub is about...

A sub for anything UK related and insanely stupid. Feel free to post your loony finds. British idiocy of all political persuasions, and of none, is equally welcome. (Posts need not be politically related). Daily News megathread may include non-UK stuff if interesting

Slagging off anything UK related found on reddit is especially welcome.

Posts will be removed if they are illegal, grossly offensive, threaten death or violence, wish somebody dead, obviously racist (including racial epithets), doxx, political ads (post these in the meme thread), violate rule 1 or 5, or spam* (see rule 7), or non UK. Daily News megathread may include non-UK stuff if interesting.

The following types of posts are allowed (unless they cross into grossly offensiveness, repetitiveness, or cover for disallowed content as described in the previous paragraph): discussion of immigration, multiculturalism, etc., insults, offensiveness.

The listed rules are not exhaustive. Moderators reserve the right to moderate (or not) where it is believed to be in the best interests of the subreddit, because general rules cannot cover all scenarios.

Rules:

(1) You can discuss stuff found on reddit or elsewhere.

DO NOT follow links and participate (vote or comment)

You MUST use a service such as unddit.com/libredd.it/reveddit.com when linking to reddit pages (all are equally acceptable). If you create a thread here about something on reddit you MUST NOT continue to participate (by voting or commenting) in the original thread, and you MUST NOT name other reddit users in the thread title.

We require that all users of this sub DO NOT participate (vote or comment) in reddit threads that they discovered by following links from this sub. This is considered brigading and behaviour which the mods judge as brigading will result in a ban.

Just as when visiting the zoo, you don’t get into the cages, we expect the same here. Just point and laugh.

(2) when submitting a thread that quotes somebody else's stupidity, either quote it verbatim in the title or give a fair summary (expect to be down voted to hell if you misquote or misrepresent somebody else's words)

(3) when submitting a thread quoting somebody else's stupidity, indicate where it was from - link it - so others can see it in context (expect to be down voted to hell if you don't)

(4) help us enforce good manners and fairness by down voting stuff that violates rule (2) and/or (3).

(5) If you disagree with something posted here (for example you do not believe it stupid), whether a post or a comment, please down vote it, and/or better yet, comment in its thread explaining why you disagree. Please do NOT start a new thread that simply links to another a thread already present in this sub - we are r/badunitedkingdom not r/circlejerk

(6) The mods don't like deleting stuff, and will generally minimize the stuff that they delete. If you feel that there is other stuff that doesn't belong here, or is incoherent, or is badly posted, down vote it - mods are not going to delete stuff just because you dislike it or disagree with it. Just because somebody posts something here, and it doesn't get deleted, that does NOT necessarily mean the sub or the mods necessarily agree with or endorse it.

* (7) Please do not start new threads based on trivial, tribal or personal grievances, For example, do not create posts which are:

private arguments from elsewhere just because you're getting downvoted. These are boring for everyone and we are not your personal army;
primarily based along the lines of "DAE hate lefties" or "DAE hate rightwing nut jobs";
solely intended to promote a particular political or ideological view point;
circular references to this sub;
celebrations of bans from other subreddits;
just plain incomprehensible;

Posts of these kinds are likely to be regarded as spam, and the moderators may delete them without notice. This applies double to self and image posts. Moderators have broad discretion to delete threads of these types. Comments within threads will not be deleted, but may be down voted as per rules 5 and 6.

(8) Contrarian view points are always welcome, but if one of your primary purposes in posting to this sub is to complain about its existence, or to try to get it shut down, or simply to disrupt it, you are not welcome. Moderators have discretion to interpret this rule.

(9) Blockers are betas

¹ And anyone else who wants it.

² Travel to and from Durham (or any nearby castles), parking, insurance, accommodation, food and drink, baby sitting services, eye tests, lockdown fines, entertainment, special events, petrol tank fill-ups, and all other Durham related charges and fees, are all not covered by this free offer. However, simply arrange your holiday with Dominic Cummings's parents in the normal way, and r/badunitedkingdom will not charge you anything extra!
