(Not Moderated)
Discussion is focused on issues relating to government policy that
affects the social and economic well-being of rural society: these
areas cover but are not exclusively limited to health, wealth and
welfare, education, transport, employment and national trade policy.
The group is not for promoting local summer fetes! (Such postings
should be directed to appropriate uk.local.* groups.)
Advertising
Advertising is forbidden.
Crossposting
Excessive cross posting is inappropriate. Posters are requested to
restrict their cross posting to no more than one other group in the
uk.politics.* hierarchy, and no more than two other newsgroups. Such
posting must be on-topic for those groups and is generally discouraged
because of the likelihood of subject drift.
Binaries & Formatting
Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, compressed files, etc.) are
forbidden. Such material belongs on a web or FTP site to which a
pointer may be posted. Cryptographic signatures (e.g. PGP) may be used
where authentication is important and should be as short as possible.
Posts must be readable as plain text. HTML, RTF and similarly
formatted messages are prohibited. To see how to make some common
newsreaders comply with this, read

Warning
Anyone posting contrary to this charter may be reported to their
"postmaster" and/or Service Provider.
