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.

Chris Pratt, of course.
I don't know if you're joking or not, but as a Brit, if the next Bond actor is American, I will be very disappointed.
100% joking. He's Hollywood's answer to every role lately.
I like Chris Pratt. He's a funny guy. But I'm so tired of him, he's horribly miscast all the time
Fair enough. I guess I could possibly forgive an American actor as long as they can do an extremely good British accent. If the accent sounds at all American I will be annoyed.
I thought Pierce Brosnan was good as Bond and his accent was fine (he's Irish of course - I don't think he has British citizenship).
Let me tell you something as an American, buddy: if the next Bond is one of us then do you know how I'm going to feel? I'm going to be unbelievably, completely disappointed as well. Fuckin Amazon would do it, too. Would definitely be one of the final nails in the franchise's coffin.
Maybe they're smart enough to choose someone who is either British or who has a flawless British accent.
But I do bet they'll start doing spin off TV shows on Amazon Prime, like Disney has done with Star Wars. If it helps them milk the franchise for more money then surely they'd do it.
