      Not sure why you landed on 2016, but the privatisation of the NHS has been going on for a lot longer, and while it’s unlikely to happen as long as profit is the main motive, it is still reversible, and the fight to save the NHS (and the population) from the government is still ongoing https://www.yournhsneedsyou.com/timeline/

        Just sort of picked a year that seemed like a turning point for the government ramping up the levels of depravity, and care becoming harder to get, of course there’s no black and white moment

          I think that might be down to your personal perspective, which is fine I’m not trying to have a go, personally I’ve seen people struggle to get care for a lot longer. but it also depends on where you live and so many other things, but yeah, they’ve been cannibalising the NHS for a long while and it is getting noticably worse.

          As it should, it’s outrageous, and so is the fact that they’ve managed to keep it all so relatively quiet.

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.
