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.

The story at that link is about 1 month old, but someone posted about this mural on Reddit yesterday.

Because we've been fighting this battle the right way for DECADES. Enough is enough. Luigi did nothing wrong.

What have you tried? What have you personally tried?

For example, have you got together in your locality and created a shared insurance scheme for you and your neighbours? Basically adopt a version of French / German healthcare insurance on a local level? Have you tried that?

Stop simping for corporate leeches. If the people have collectively been fighting the system within the legal framework for DECADES yet things continuously get worse, its not the people that's the problem. The systems rotten to the core and needs to be cut out at the root.

I'm not defended your health care system. Read my other replies. Your health care sucks balls and we feel really bad for you. I'm saying that murdering people isn't good neither is encouraging it. Big difference 👍.

If you don't like your unfortunate situation then do something constructive and positive about it. Heck, educate yourself well enough to move if you feel so strongly about it. Imagine if people took the same attitude to your education system that they happen to be aggrieved with. Sooner or later the US will be overwhelmed with mass school killings because some jackass "hated the school system that failed him".
