Cade Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I know we just had an election with another SNP landslide, but the polling continues.

There again I'll wager Boris says 'no thanks' and it doesn't get off the starting line. Not sure how the numbers will stack up in the heat of battle mind; when anyone that brokers any alternative view to the sunny uplands of a tartan caliphate they are immediately rounded upon, insulted and accused of being a traitor. Pollsters may find yet again that folks haud their wheest and lie low under those conditions. All that aside, given such overwhelming demand why doesn't she just set a date? 🙂 Nail on the head about people( no voters) being quiet about their voting intentions. I think this may happen even more at the next Indy ref as the campaign will be even more ferocious than the last one ( from both sides i may add) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I see they have announced Councils free to increase council tax and that tax rates not changing. With inflation charging ahead, looks like those who are hard working and employed can look forward to being worse off. Meanwhile we are squandering a couple of billion on 'green' activities, even when we can't afford them. Oh, and cancel your Christmas party because, well because it's Scotland and chief mammy ****ing hates people being happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With inflation racing ahead, energy and fuel prices soaring and the effects of Brexit yet to be properly felt, council tax will be well down the list of the fiscal worries of hard working folk.

The claim to support no prescription charges is that it saves money due to the admin etc involved costing an extortionate amount of money.

I do believe in certain things to make a better society should be paid for. The free bus passes for the youth isn’t a bad idea either. We have too many cars and encouraging them to use public transport is a good thing imo. Free prescriptions are also in wales and NI do daftys over there rage about it too? The unionists daftys I mean? Raging that their people are getting some benefits in life? Some health care and some free transport to maybe get a job etc?

I’d be amazed if we were saving money making prescriptions free to all. I can’t even think we’re the admin would be saved to such an extent. Regarding your own circumstances simpler one time cost for multi prescriptions should help with that rather than paying for each prescription.

There is definitely an argument for our NI contributions covering prescription charges. You go to hospital you walk out with your prescribed drugs for nowt. Paracetamol, brufen and aspirin should never be on a prescription really, they cost pennies in the supermarket ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked a couple of times if a cream or tablet is available over the counter as opposed to prescription and have turned down a prescription on a couple of occasions and bought the item myself.
