General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

This is surely illegal?
I'm sure it's just capitalism!
Btw, I don't even know, are all hospitals in the UK owned by for-profit evilcorps (what could possibly go wrong?!) like in Germany?
They're mostly owned by trusts, but we're seeing more privately ones pop up.
So they would be private but still run by the NHS?
If this stops cunts messing around with them like they do in hospitals near me, and leaving them for people who need them, then good.
