      I wonder what the people do day to day. I can’t even imagine how much it must suck to be a kid there.

        It’s such a closed system, they can even track when new genetics were introduced in the “early 1900s” by visiting Russian ships.

        Heading towards inbred by an aging declining population.

        I would suspect it’s like a lot of small towns: Inward facing, busy keeping their own share of limited local resources from being grabbed by other locals.

        If an individual can’t deal with that, I suspect they’ve moved off the island, or their genetics will be culled from the population.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

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.
