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.

As someone who works for the NHS this should come as no surprise.
Ever since the pathetic pay rise offered to nurses after all their work during the pandemic there has been nothing but contempt shown towards people who actually work at the coal face of the health system, and by extension the patients who have to use the system which is stretched to breaking point.
As a society we should be asking ourselves why it's acceptable for public sector workers such as nurses, Doctors, teachers, firefighters etc to be expected to work longer hours (often outside of their contracted hours) for less money than in the private sector.
