United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
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.

American idiot here. Will Starner's government do anything to improve the NHS? It's been an absolute dumpster fire from my (admittedly myopic) perspective.
The Tories have been subtly gutting the NHS for years to make private practice more attractive, so they can move to an American model of insurance companies and all that BS.
The Tories were in power since 2010 (first 5 years were a coalition government). So that's 14 years of un-fucking to do.
It's going to take much longer than a five year term to fix the NHS. Liklihood is they'll inject some life into it just in time for the tories to sell it off next government
He will try. How hard it is without fixing the econ is the big question.
So it will start as small changes.
Compared to pass NHS. Yep its a dumpster fire.
But folks still get treatment without going bankrupt. Even poor and homeless.
So delays etc. Tends to still leave most better off then some places.
