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.

We have essentially two paths: continued vassalisation to whatever circus of clowns runs the US or a more equal and independent-but-unpopular partnership with the EU.
I'd vote for the EU in a heartbeat.
I'd be fine with the euro, actually going full metric.
Yes, we should have done it years ago. I like to think that Brexit would never have happened if we'd been fully integrated with Europe, as we should be. Not a 53rd state to whatever is happening on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. I'd even go as far as a European defence force and do away with national forces.
