Remove Fife Threads from Trending?

140 replies

Shitmonger · 19/07/2025 01:11

Could MN consider removing the numerous “Nurse Fife” threads from the Trending section? There are several new ones a day, thousands of posts, most of them pretty inane (“Can’t wait.” “I’m still on thread 29.” “Signing on” etc etc.) Because they are so active the entire Trending section will fill up with them (Nurse Fife #24, Nurse Fife #25, Nurse Fife #26, and so on). You have to manually hide every single one and then there’s another new one in a few hours.

Can they just be removed from the Trending section? I’m sure the people interested know where to find them by now.

As pp said, the full threads don't stay in trending. Once interested parties have read them they move on to the active one. There is only one relevant thread in trending today, so it isn't an issue.

Oh noes OP! A new NHS Fife saga thread has been started. And they will really fill up quickly this week. Maybe you just have to hide each one when they start otherwise it might be like whackamole after the revelations last week and over the weekend!

Thoughts and prayers OP.

i joined mumsnet because of the coverage of the NHS Fife case, that thread is so helpful for keeping up to date with all of it and really details the NHSF incompetence especially things you may not have picked up on!

Because they are part of the leadership of NHS Fife? Or the Scottish Government?

Or more likely a TRA

Why would anyone want to actively stop people reading about this case?

Well Nhs Fife did their very best to stop anyone knowing about it. If you were that incompetent you'd probably want to keep it quiet too.

Quite.

No-one's talking about it - so why are all these newspapers covering it? https://tribunaltweets.substack.com/p/press-coverage-s-peggie-v-fife-health?r=1gxdhb

I don't agree it should be removed. The whole case is coming to its conclusion. It's gripping! The whole world needs to know of the appalling treatment of Sandie Peggie and the madness, cruelty and ineptitude that led to this poor woman's situation. She is amazing, as are the women from sex-matters.org/about-us/ who are supporting her. Sandie is holding NHS Fife accountable, and the reason why is important for all women. Just ignore it if you are not interested.

Exactly this. It is very easy to just not read something if you aren't interested in it. There are many, many people who do want to read a contemporaneous account of this very important case because they know that most of the MSM reporting is full of lies and misinformation.

It's always funny seeing posters say 'no-one's taking about this - it's such a niche issue!!'

Front page of the Scotsman on Saturday yesterday. The Scotsman is one of the widest read newspapers in Scotland. That will have been on every newsstand.

Granted, that's just here. But it's definitely being talked about.

With a user name like Shitmonger you'll be a great fit for NHS Fife Press Officer.

Brilliant

I'm from Aus and catching up on the days developments at the wrong time of day but I am still glued to Mumsnet and the UK papers and are actually discussing it with people in real life as we have Tickle vs Giggle coming up. Having it in Trending helps me find it and realise I have missed an entire thread and have to catch up!!! :-)

And Tickle v Giggle is being livestreamed for all if I remember correctly. It seems to have many twists leading into it now too.

Oh I know, it's just in every newspaper, on the tv, being discussed in Parliament, is having opinion pieces written about it, all over social media, being covered by tribunal tweets as part of Open Justice and there is a 30+ megathread on here.

But no, nothing to see here.

Show quote history

It is remarkable, isn't it? A trial that is being reported in the media on a daily basis across a range of media is apparently not being discussed in real life?

It probably says more about the person that is not included in the discussions that are occurring than the reality of whether people are discussing it or not. But I don't think that ever occurs to those who declare that no one around them is discussing the topic or not.

That’s the problem for the OP - doesn’t want to make it easy for you!

Judging by the OP name and lack of follow up I imagine they already have what they want from this thread.

I have an idea! Let's put the least popular threads in "Trending".

After all, words don't need to mean what some bigots think they do, you just need to reframe your thinking!

nocoolnamesleft · 19/07/2025 18:15

Isn’t the whole point of the trending section to be populated by trending threads? And the main reason those threads have been trending is that a lot has been happening. Important stuff affecting women’s basic rights.
