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.

I feel like this has been a growing concern since the NHS was founded all those years ago. The last 14 years certainly haven't helped, but this is far from a Tory Austerity issue.

Consecutive governments seem to have decided that access to quality dentistry should be the preserve of those willing to pay for private clinics, and the rest of us can make do, or better yet; skip the dentist entirely.
