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.

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 the fact its actually a really important case is irrelevant. Would it be more appropriate for trending if it was in Manchester. Are news stories only of interest because of their location rather than what's happened? Will it be more interesting if the next case like this is in a big city/county

Id be very surprised if people haven't heard of Fife.

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

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

Absolutely not. I had taken a passing interest in the ongoing tribunal but given the number of threads, started to read them all. They have been mind blowing as to the toxic culture that exists for women in Fife NHS. I have always believed in live and let live but this unfolding story has made me start to re-evaluate and ask questions.
The distortions, the manipulation that has gone on cannot be ignored and if this is a reflection of what is happening in other areas then as women, we should be concerned.
No support, sent on special leave without establishing facts, one side being accepted without question, situation being discussed with a predetermined conclusion. It just goes on and on. Mind blowing, especially yesterday. Hopefully like me many more are being made aware of what is really going on. Thank you to all those who have kept this going and kept us informed.

I'm sure most people that use Mumset are aware of the NHS and of Fife.

Yes, because of the threads! If i hadn’t months ago seen the early threads in active/trending i wouldn’t have known. So im glad I stumbled across them. And I can see why some people might not want a light being shone on this.

If #x and #y of a long running thread are both in trending at the same time it is due to the high level of interest and engagement. See also political long running threads at election times.

ie the very definition of “trending”. 🙄

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.

I don't know anyone IRL discussing an OP and her DH wanting her to take their babysitter to the beach with them. But there it is in Trending!

You people are going to have to learn that the world is changing, and you can't control us any more.

There's not much else going on in Fife right enough except ☢️⚠️ radioactive beaches in Dalgety Bay and contamination in Kinghorn and Burntisland beaches during peak season🤷‍♀️

Maybe you could start a thread about those topics and get it trending enough to knock NHS Fife off the top of the trending lists!

Honestly never imagined NHS Fife would ever be in the press on a website like MN!

Yeah, who would have? But then again I would never have imagined NHS staff pretending they don’t know what sex is, and spending enormous amounts of taxpayers money on it.🤷‍♀️

TwiceForLunch · 19/07/2025 07:39

This is potentially one of the most significant ET cases in recent UK history. In a sea of really very significant ET cases. It's trending because of that. And because what it reveals about widespread institutional capture and incompetence.

Anyway- the trending topic is for trending threads. Which it is.

Ridiculous request. It’s trending because it’s outrageous and it’s happening right now - censoring it trending is another version of erasure for Sandie Peggie who is having her life upended in public to protect other women.

Let it all trend! Let women get curious and click and know exactly what’s going on in Fife.

So it would be OK if it was Lothian NHS or Berkshire NHS (no idea if that exists). It's the concept of Fife that you object to?

Out in the real world, a lot of people are discussing it. Because it matters.

If you don't wabt to read the threads, just scroll down and carry on. Job done.

I don’t think anyone should be “policing” what is and what isn’t allowed on trending. There’s only ever one Fife thread at a time (the current one) on trending. It’s not as if the last five Five threads are all there! Yes it’s a fast moving thread(s) so there are lots of threads but that’s because there’s a lot going on.

If you’re not interested don’t click on it. I really can’t see how it affects you. There’s plenty of stuff in “trending” every day which i don’t click on as I know i wouldn’t be interested.

New Questions over NHS Fife Compliance
18 July 2025
On 18 July 2025, NHS Fife released a media statement that referenced the Commissioner's Decision 133/2025. In response, Scottish Information Commissioner, David Hamilton said,
“The petulant tone of NHS Fife’s latest statement is quite remarkable but it is the contents that concern me most. They have now cast doubt upon the assurances they gave me regarding compliance with my Decision Notice. I will investigate further and if the Authority has not indeed fully complied with my Decision then I may report the matter to the Court of Session as a contempt of court.”

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.

YetAnotherNewNameAgain · 19/07/2025 07:25

Why don't you just hide the thread? That's what the function is there for.

You do you. It’s a major conversation topic round these parts. I am gripped by it and happy for the trending section to continue to show all the trending threads thanks.
