United Kingdom
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.

I think it's a difficult sell to the public, especially when the numbers (RPI) driving the BMAs claims is flawed. I'm all for better paid doctors but they just got a pay rise 10x better than almost all other public sector workers last year and now they want the same again the next year?
It's a difficult sell because it's unreasonable.
Doctors get paid vastly more than most of the public (I'm both the private and public sectors), including the healthcare workers whose labour supports them in their work.
Has anyone seen a rise in wages which is equivalent to the increase in inflation?
