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.

Yes. We should absolutely be pushing for the doctors of the future to walk out en masse and take their skills elsewhere. What could go wrong.
"Junior doctors" are fully qualified doctors in clinical training, no "of the future" about it.
If they don't walk out en masse, nothing will improve.
You think losing thousands of highly trained doctors will improve the NHS?
The government doesn't appear receptive to the current actions taken. What other escalation path is there besides indefinite strikes, Aka quitting?
Yep.
No I don't think we should be pushing for this. But the doctor's themselves absolutely should.
They've clearly said the renumeration and stress levels in th NHS system are unacceptable. Hence the strikes. Many have signaled that they would rather work in non NHS style health systems because of the pay and quality of life improvements. Good for them.
As hard as it might be to hear this maybe it's time to rethink how well the NHS system is working. Not for patients (but also that) but for the workers within in. A key tranche of which are so pissed off with it that they want to move to Australia.
