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.

Our NHS is broken, but not beaten. Together we can fix it.

The NHS has been there for us for over 76 years. But to make sure the NHS is here for the next 76 years, doing all it can to support the health of everyone, we need your help.

We want to have the biggest ever conversation about the future of the NHS.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a lot or a little to say. Your views, experiences and ideas will shape a new 10 Year Health Plan for England.

This is open to everyone. If you are a member of the public or someone who works in health and care in England, 'Start Here', to tell us how the NHS needs to change.

If you are contributing as a representative of an organisation, complete the organisation questionnaire. This is an early opportunity to share your insights as we begin an extensive programme of engagement to develop the 10 Year Health Plan.

If you register your email address, we will stay in touch to seek your views as the 10 Year Health Plan develops.

Why does everyone only ever bring up the shambles that is US healthcare? It's like there's only two ways of doing it. NHS or US.

Fucking basic.

because the politicians destroying UK healthcare specifically cite the american model as something to follow, genius. and what other model is that of privatization? when that's what they're saying and doing, yes, that's what people will compare it to.

They really don't. I'm not sure how much you follow the discourse around this but politicians and political commentators regularly cite German or French models. They also overwhelmingly cite the US model as not one they want.

Can we stop pretending that there are only two health care systems in the world. It's a bizarre and daft argument.
