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.

I've had epilepsy since I was a teenager and honestly I've had excellent treatment on the whole since then - with the odd minor bad experience which I put down to badly trained staff.
I consider myself very lucky to live in a country where the medications I have to take are free because I imagine if I lived in somewhere like America I'd be paying through the nose. My wife is also disabled so we're both very grateful given our situation.
I worked in the private sector for a number of years analysing hospital data, and now work directly for the NHS. Most people have an understanding that they're working for something that's more special than just any other office based job and that's really good to see.
Everyone wants it to work but as usual, its future is in the hands of the politicians and given recent history I'm not convinced they have the competency to turn things around without passing the buck and getting the private sector to do a lot of the work for them. Time will tell...
