United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
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.

The article states that some of the calls not attended by paramedics may be attended by an EMT.
So, the complete opposite of your comment.
Keep reading the article. What happens towards the end may surprise you!
So one spokesperson who is paid to male the NHS look good in front of the media claims that "some" incidents were responded to by a doctor. That some could be just the one.
Where there are multiple sources in the article claiming statistics of the number of incidents that do not have a paramedic on site, just EMTs.
Yeah, not buying your "mountain out of a molehill" argument.
