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.

Not like he could appeal. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on legally.

That article really harps on about how him buying extreme porn made by consenting adults makes him unsuitable to being a doctor and sorta completely glosses over the whole him freezing his fucking legs off thing.

And while being mentally unstable. Is a very valid and important reason to not practice medicine.

Making a news article about it. Is just horror porn. So the article writer has little to harp on about.

Doctor did dumb stuff to himself proving he was not suited to practice medicine. Is far from a nessesery need to inform the public. And doing so is just an excuse to remove his medical privacy.

Even if you question the consent in porn. IE consider economic issues forcing people into porn. Less consential then we would like.

I'd still trust someone with that interest. More then someone taking a person's mental lllness and making money from exploiting it.

We have a joke here in the UK about what it takes for the GMC to remove a doctor. They always talk about bringing the profession into disrepute, but it's never more than throwing the worst ones under the bus to protect the herd.
