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.

Two things. Firstly, patients are being harmed because hospitals are being forced to cancel planned operations and procedures, some of which people have been waiting years for.
Secondly, they just went on strike last year and won a huge pay rise, significantly ahead of inflation. The argument put forth by the BMA is based on bad data and misleading statistics.
There are significant structural problems within the NHS that need to be addressed, including some that directly affect the earning power of young doctors. None of which will be fixed if they keep going on strike.
