UK Politics
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! :'(

You seem to believe that NHS England is the same as the NHS. It's not.
NHS England is a quango, created by the Tories, that added another layer of management to an already top-heavy organisation. Its goal was to detach the NHS further from the government in order to make it easier to privatise. By all objective accounts, NHS England has been a dead weight and an abject failure. It is not the only means available to administer the NHS, instead, it complicates administration due to a built-in bias in favour of privatisation.
Now, it may be that your admin job is essential, but not all of them are, by any means. Those that are will get relocated to the actual NHS, not the quango.
