What happened on 13th April 2023

Thursday occurred to be a day of the corruption news.

The I Newspaper issued the list of 

Despite publications in mainstream media, it was quite a challenge to post a link to this news on British subreddit. It was removed because 'the domain is on a blacklist', 'for containing bad characters in the title' (the Guardian, btw), 'a paywall or requiring a sign up to view'. Those obstacles were overcome. Yet, they witnessed of great unwillingness some acute issues be made public in the Web.

All in all, people blame government in that, not medical staff.

"The data used to conclude these findings were collated prior to strike action. Lives are being put at risk by the government, not striking professionals."

"At this point, I'm thinking, what will happen to the NHS and the ordinary people of the UK. It's clear that politicians can afford private care. I don't want the UK to become like America where there are people who don't have access to health care because they're too poor. We're supposed to be a rich country..."

Still, some  express dissatisfaction with medical care, "Don’t forget the sub-standard service you likely receive when you finally get seen."

"Sh*t, even routine appointments overrun massively these days. Got called up on Thursday to go in Friday for 1.45 (or 3pm, or 11.30, free choice!) asked for 1.45, arrived on time, didn’t get seen until gone 3pm. And it was dead quiet on the day. I think they don’t estimate the appointment times properly tbh, I can understand 30 minute waits perhaps, but an hour plus? Went to a and e when I had a bike crash last year and it took about two-three hours overall in stages: clean up first, X-ray second, released third. Boring wait ofc, but it was just precautionary checks so I probably wasn’t on the urgent list. Nothing but an open wound damage which they said was fine to plaster over once it was cleaned out and the hanging skin was trimmed off. 🤢

They need more funding and more staff. And they need to have time to process appointments, because waiting when you have one is just a pisstake."

 On Thursday, Britons learned that Environment Secretary Therese Coffey was accused of 'effectively legalising' fly-tipping after analysis found fewer than one in 500 incidents last year led to a prosecution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The majority of readers agreed that councils make difficulties for citizens to dispose rubbish.

"You have to make an appointment on line. But when you have gathered your rubbish at the weekend you have to wait until they can fit you in. When the time comes to go to the dump it is empty with workers standing around. Why do councils make life difficult."

"Drive any stretch of the filthy network across the UK and you will see that HM Government, local councils, Highways authorities couldn't give a toss."

"One thing I have never understood,.councils charge to tip rubbish at authorised tips, but then spend more than that income clearing up fly tipping, why not just allow free tipping to everyone, thus saving the cost of cleanup?

 Also this day we've become to know that London has the highest rate of ‘Nepo workers’ in the UK.

This information was faced with lack of the understanding by audience. Readers saw nothing bad in that fact.

"That sounds suspiciously like some understood the survey to include professional networking ("personal connections" is quite ambiguous), which I would not count under "nepotism".

That 50% stat sounds way to low for networking and way to high for classic nepotism so not quite sure what they're measuring here - probably a mix of people understanding it both ways."

"Nepotism just refers to family/kinship, from the same root as Nephew.
Employers know that Connections is a great way to hire because having more information about the candidate makes it lower risk."

"Honestly that feels off to me. Networking is a part of getting jobs and getting ahead, that's not nepotism."

Some of them, however found a negative side of the issue.

"You can’t afford to work an unpaid internship unless your dad went to the right school."

"I know a lad from Singapore who was trying to get into a law firm in London. As he didn't not know anyone in the firm his dad had to pay them to take him on as an intern. This did not even garuntee him a job af the end, and was on top of all his undergrad and post-grad fees and costs if living in London."
