The wife criticising the nurse:

“She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here. The service and treatment he received was disgusting.”

Classy.

Hmm maybe if he hadn’t drank excessive amounts of alcohol he’d still be here. It’s embarrassing hearing about entitled British tourists making a fool of themselves overseas and expecting others to cater to their every need.

It is English exceptionalism born out of colonialism

I suppose that is the root cause. I’d like to think that those kind of behaviours will die with the older generations, but there you hear of groups of ‘lads’ causing havoc in places like Amsterdam on stag dos. I guess their lack of respect is something that’s been passed down from their parents and it becomes the norm for them? Thankfully it seems to be a small subset of people - most get on with their holidays without trouble.

I do wonder if she’d say the same thing if this happened in London instead of Jamaica.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.
