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! :'(

Jesus Christ. Just wow. Think about that for a second, go in for an amputation and they chop off the wrong leg. Sorry! Can't sue, we are the NHS!
If it's free the patient should accept the risk of human error. This increasing trend in the UK towards litigating everything is an unwelcome import from the states imo.
Ironically diverting a 1/3 of NHS funding towards litigation makes accidents more likely and patients less safe.
I'd rather not import qualified immunity from the states either.
It's not free. We pay for the NHS through tax. It's free at the point of use.
This is a seemingly perfect dandy stance to take, right up until you can't afford private health care and then you're the victim of medical negligence.
