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.

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.

Social murder
Bearing in mind it's all a bunch private firms wearing an NHS hat, I would argue corporate murder.
My dad died of legionnaires disease in an NHS hospital because G4S said it was too expensive to replace the legionnaires infested water system, or to install taps that could filter out the legionnaires. This was on a cancer ward for immunocompromised patients. This is a repeated problem at this particular hospital too. The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxfordshire
So yeah, my dad died to protect some shareholder's dividends.
thats messed up. our condolences
