General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
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.
"Raise taxes on working people or reform to secure [the NHS'] future. We know working people can’t afford to pay more, so it is reform or die."
Alexa, show me a false dichotomy.
It's amazing how the their report names austerity as the culprit of the NHS' waning condition, but Streeting's solution seems to just change where money is allocated. The UK spends significantly less on Health compared to other developed countries, is it really surprising that our results would be significantly worse?
Yes, has anyone considered taxing corporations and the rich?
The last guy to suggest something like that got branded an antisemitic commie and was kicked out of the party.
I live in the US (granted I watch a lot of UK content) and even my first reaction at reading the headline was along the lines of "then fucking pay/fund them instead of setting them up to fail!"
Ah, still trying to kill off the NHS I see, this has been their plan all along. Make it worse and worse so they can kill it off and sell healthcare to their friends so that the poorest die off.
That was the old government. We had an election recently and now we have the other party in charge who...

... are continuing to do the same thing as the old government while blaming them for it.
Yes, the tories are worse in a lot of ways. But I don't think labour are much better.
Glad to be an anarchist, and see how shitty they all are.
Jeremy Corbyn was the best thing to happen to Labour in a long time, but the Blairy types all panicked when faced with actual policies to benefit poor people.
Too true!
Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss.
Two cheeks of the same ass.
My hope is that the reform is in the form of more early intervention at a community level (which is kinda what we had before the Great Gutting over the last decade).
Though going by the mood in this thread, I should be emigrating to Sweden...
The beast has been proclaimed starved.
I'm sure nobody saw that coming.
Can you already drown it in a bathtub?
Finally we got rid of the party who want to dismantle the NHS to profit their wealthy donors!
