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.

do you work for NHS Fife @Shitmonger

Notfinanciallyresponsibleforyou · 19/07/2025 11:11

The Sandi Peggie threads have been really enlightening to see what is actually happening in a public sector organisation. There has to be accountability to how public sector funds are being used. There has actions of NHS Fife have shown a level of incompetence that I didn’t believe existed.

These threads have also shown the issues that have been created by gender ideology to the extent that I know have a greater awareness of what women are facing.

The more women are informed of the challenges we may face in the workplace, in politics, in unions, the media etc who the better. Therefore having these threads in trending can only be for the good. Why should MN make it all secretive?

Oh dear OP. Can't believe you were serious with your request. What is the point of a Trending section if the most popular threads are not included?

Have you actually read the threads? Very few inane posts on there.

You mean people are chatting 🙄

Face it, #nodebate is over. Women are winning and will continue to win. You've tried to stop people talking and it hasn't worked.

On a talk board! Imagine.

Certain posters are boosting it constantly that's why. I am sure many are getting weary of the story though. I don't know anyone IRL discussing it, for example.

You should get out more.

The NHS is the seventh largest employer in the world. Largest in Europe.

Holy moly! You'd think they'd be better at HR.

RedToothBrush · 19/07/2025 10:59

It's a really important issue on many levels.

It is NOT 'just another trans story' as some people seem to want to pretend.

It's a story about failure of management and huge institutional incompetence within the NHS at this point.

That's massive.

People trying to frame it as niche really needs to wake up and get their head out the arses.

It's about a failure of public accountability.

Is this thread also in trending 😂

I don't even know how to see trending threads tbh.

I did wonder, so I checked - answer is no. Though it would be fun if it was.

How's this thread going for you OP? 😂😂

The only reason many don't want it trending is because it's Fife being discussed. Most folk probably have never even heard of it let alone the topic being discussed about that health board!

So women in Fife don’t matter and there’s some kind of discrimination you would like to put in place because you and some other people have never heard of Fife?
I don’t really understand what on Earth you are saying here.

DrSpartacularsMagnificentOctopus · 19/07/2025 09:18

How dare women talk about something that affects them Hmm

FGS OP, just hide the threads if they bother you that much.

borntobequiet · 19/07/2025 08:53

It’s big, big, news, particularly for women.

Hiding a thread if you don’t like is neither onerous nor difficult. OTOH, getting suspended from work after a thirty year unblemished career for something you didn’t do is devastating.

Shar270 · 19/07/2025 08:47

I've never had more than one Fife thread in my trending section so I don't understand your issue at all. If you don't want to see them though I'm amazed that you know what they all contain.

Just pray you don't end up in hospital there...

Bullying is endemic there in NHS Fife so the news story doesn't surprise me...I worked there years ago. I left to raise a family and have no regrets.

Management often do no listen to the minions at the bottom. It's deeply rooted in NHS Fife.

I think the NHS is the UK's largest employer. They tried to force their female employee to take her clothes off in front of a man. This is a hugely important case for women's rights and it's great that people are engaging with it. Yesterday a renowned women's rights campaigner put a letter on Twitter - it was a copy of a letter being used in evidence in the tribunal. Within 12 hours the post had over 800,000 views. The amount of interest being generated by this extraordinary case is fantastic and the more people that know about it, the better.

Dearg · 19/07/2025 08:10

It’s trending because it goes to the heart of the shit show that has been the SNP policy on gender recognition.

It’s also trending because it goes to the heart of workplace bullying, by men over women, and by the mighty Doctors in the NHS over the lowly Nurses. Bullying which has been tolerated for decades.

It is absolutely fascinating to follow; anyone who has ever watched a fictional court case on film or tv will be blown away by the skill of the barristers on Sandie Peggy’s team. And amazed and the ineptitude of supposedly educated staff as they trip up over their own lies and attempts to obfuscate.

These are important threads.

If it boosts tourism for the Mighty Kingdom then that's fine. It's putting Fife on the map if anything this story....

🤣🤣🤣

If I end up needing medical on holidays due to swimming in radioactive beaches in Dalgety Bay and contamination in Kinghorn and Burntisland beaches during peak season I may have an interest in the hospital situation too

Jog on, OP.

sciteach95 · 19/07/2025 08:01

Do you work for The Times? They seem to have a similar point of view about such a monumentally significant story being hidden away in the Scottish section not the main headlines today.

trending is just that, what people are interested in. Maybe just use active and hide those threads if they are not for you. I do that with royal family ones rather than getting upset about them as I know they interest others.

Cheer up its about all the NHS bodies as they all have the same policy of calling female employees transphobic when they object to providing a strip show.

Fife just happened to have a team of doctors who decided to bully an A&E nurse and she said no.

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust will also feature soon

ShedSister · 19/07/2025 07:53

Can confirm you have got this thread in trending.
Off to update myself on Fife. My previous tending thread read was the toilet one. Pleased to see there's lots of vipers recognising the importance of hard won women's rights.

I'd love to see more push on other forums for men to be more kind so that people can leave women's spaces alone.

I wonder if this thread will show up in Trending.

Yes, below thread 32 but above the full thread 31.😂
