Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"99% of dentists across the south-west aren’t accepting any new adult patients."

Getting anything but emergency healthcare in the UK is nigh impossible for much of the country now, I've been on the waiting lists of all my local dentists for over 18 months.

This'll get spread around as heavily as that misleading bread line photo from the USSR, right?

Only as a justification for privatisation.

American healthcare is coming to the UK

Shortening the lines by making the healthcare unaffordable think-about-it

Good thing they're expending tens of millions on round the clock care for a living fossil. He's just divinely more entitled to Healthcare.

the good old "starve the beast" strategy, but in this case starving the beast is honestly humane for the beast considering the kind of food it would get in the UK

Knowing TERF island, they'll also find some way to blame trans people too.

And all of you tankies still want socialism?? SMH my head

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Another good reason for Scotland's independence. Let England Americanize all they want, but not Scotland.

It'll be hilarious seeing some idiots be shocked that they have to fork over 100k pounds for having a kid, despite that being EXACTLY what they told Parliament what they wanted.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Fewer delays on the breakdown of the union pls

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Wale, Scotland, Ireland should leave from the United Kingdom to form united republics

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Scotland had a chance to gain by ballot what most countries have had to gain through the blood of their people and they pissed it away. Now things are going to have to get really fucked up before they get another chance at the same.

In Soviet Badcountry, resources and healthcare are so scarce that desperate people line up around the block in the hopes of seeing the one dentist.

[–] appel@whiskers.bim.boats 27 points 1 year ago

I keep remembering I need to sign up for the dentist, guess there is no point then

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

This is clearly the fault of the radical left.

Why would communism do this?! boohoo
