Hey all,

Long-time lurker, paramedic, and occasional mountain guide here. I live rurally, so I follow both prepping and first aid communities closely.

Just a heads-up: there’s a new sub, r/FirstAidUK, that might interest folks here. It’s a broad space for pre-hospital medicine—from general first aid info to professional insights (ambulance crews, event medics, etc.). The goal is to foster a community where questions get reasoned, unpretentious answers, whether you’re a pro or just curious.

If you’re into first aid, emergency prep, or just want a UK-centric resource, check it out. All skill levels welcome.

"The Belfast knife attack suspect was granted asylum in Britain under a controversial 'fast-track' scheme, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Hadi Alodid was given permission to stay here after completing a 10-page Home Office questionnaire rather than undergoing the standard – and far more rigorous - face-to-face interview process.

It prompted new calls to re-think the 'streamlined' programme set up when Rishi Sunak was prime minister as part of his pledge to clear a backlog of 92,000 asylum cases.

Then home secretary Suella Braverman and immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme, which is still in operation."
