Yup, we clearly have a two speed health system already where those with insurance and/or the ability to pay get treated and those that don't get pushed to the side.

The fact she actually tweeted she was positive in London, before she even got on the train back to Glasgow, begs the question why there should even be a trial, at the taxpayers expense. The fact that she has been lifting public money for two years, by the time the trial comes round, just rubs salt in the wounds. What's that, about £120G over two years ? Scandalous !

Pans Jambo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The Scottish NHS should do a lot better. Like most of it in the UK, it's top heavy with managers, understaffed in key areas, nonsense wasteful procurement agreements and bureaucracy that would overwhelm and confuse Alan feckin Turing! But It's probably the best its ever been since it was born after WWII. In Scotland today, who would do a better job? Seriously! Who? The Scottish tories? Yeah they're because they're doing such a great job in England eh? Labour? With their track record up here...Just NAW! Should we privatise it and get everyone to pay private health insurance like that fair system in the USA where it costs over $50,000 Dollars just to give birth? NAW! It needs reform/fixed/updated/modernised/changed from the ground up BUT....its WAY better than most other systems on the planet!!! Doesn't mean it should not be criticized and held to account though but FFS! Calm doon eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sets a precedent and the other arseholes start to think they can get away with things that should really have been stamped out in the first place! Not an excuse but this is where we are in society now. They don't even call them lies now! "Mistruth's" or some other shit and the plebs lap it up. How did we get to this?

For every policy I agree with for political parties there’s ten I disagree with. Even Corbyn had some good ideas and I believe he was a decent guy who the press destroyed. The press got that prick Johnson elected too. They always get who they want elected. John Major spoke of his discomfort of Murdoch dictating to the Conservative party. That’s why he dug so much dirt on them, the leverage to get what he wanted. I really think there should be celebrations when that ***** dies. Surely you see the socialist policies of the snp? They’ve went from pretty much the centre ground and more left imo under sturgeon. I don’t have to tell you do I? Mitigating bedroom tax, school meals, free prescriptions, and looking after all the jakeys and junkies that vote for them?

Sorry but lol… The intrusions the named person thing was binned so not sure what other intrusions they’ve made. They certainly haven’t intruded into my life, has Enzo told you they have or something? Im all ears here anyway bud…floor is yours. Instead of just throwing silly claims out there can you back it up with exactly how they’re encouraging people to NOT work? Ive had a good think and I don’t know a single person on the dole or who scrounges on benefits. I know a few who duck and dive a bit but all work and most are hard working good people. This dependency thing is bolloks. 99% of people want to get on regardless of who they vote. This you have to vote Tory or you have no ambitions to get anywhere in life is what the daily mail/express tries to hammer home. It’s drivel.
