More of wee krankies utterings

Hi jonksy

You'd think you and the daily mail didn't like her.


As I've already alluded to, the weakness in the whole thing is that the devolution settlement was carefully set up so that scotland couldn't deviate much from the rest of the uk.

So if there's a crisis in the nhs there, then there will be one in Scotland. Maybe a little better, maybe a little worse. Still a crisis.

I'd also love to know the exact mechanism that the oft repeated criticism of independence interfering with normal government exactly plays out. I mean do you seriously think folk sit around and say let's ignore all this stuff and talk about independence?

Does anyone with a working brain cell like her?

Ah Jonsky Clarkson, the man with a working brain cell. England's motor mouth. When I log on each morning.  It is always at the back of my mind how more stupid can Englishmen get.  The likes of you never fail to amuse me.  You have all this garbage explained to you before and you still rant the same drivel. Is it caused by having to pay to drink your own excrement.  All Scottish funding in Scotland is dictated by bankrupt England. So to clarify.  It is 100% the fault of the Westminster wankers .  So how about you telling me who is to blame.  The Westminster wankers decide what money the English NHS needs. That has been decimated as England is bankrupt. Once the decision is made the Barnett consequencials kick in, which I just know you do not have a clue what I am on about. And that amount is what Scotland gets back of its own money to fund the Scottish NHS. And that is fixed. In short not only do I pay for the Scottish NHS. I pay for yours as well. In terms of the cock up of the Scottish NHS. Healthcare spending in Scotland is £2,368 per person, while in England it is £2,182. Scotland has 76 GPs per 100,000 people, compared to England with 60 per 100,000. Would you care to correct that.

The number of patients spending over 12 hours in A&E was 0.2 per cent in Scotland, 2 per cent in England. Scottish nurses are the highest paid in the UK. NHS waiting times. 945,072 people waited more than 12 hours in England A&E departments in 2021-22. That’s 48 times larger than the figure for Scotland 19,667, Scottish nurse average pay is £36,631 in England £33,384. In answer to your question I as a Scottish tax payer can no longer afford to keep subsidy junkies like you because you cannot live within your means. Getting insulted by your ilk for doing so. In terms of education . The Scots are the most educated people in Europe. Some 52% of Scots have University qualifications. Thats 8% higher than bankrupt England. Not to mention. Scotland has four University's in the top 100 in the world. That's more per head than any other country in the world. Not to mention University placement is free. Saving some £14,000 a year. What does bankrupt England offer. Despite the shite being spewed on how the SNP destroyed the education system. 

Some 23,500 police and police staff jobs have been lost in England and Wales since 2010,  Police officers have increased by 6.3% since the SNP took power. .There were 3.9 million children living in poverty in England in 2020-21. That's 27 per cent of children, or eight in a classroom of 30. In Scotland. Funded early learning and childcare is free to parents, but funded by the Scottish Government. You can get up to 1,140 hours of funded early learning and childcare a year (around 30 hours a week in term time) if your child is 3 or 4 years old. Some 2 year olds are also eligible. On top of the National UK payment. Scottish Child Payment is awarded if successful towards the costs of supporting family in poverty. . It's a weekly payment of £25 that you can get for every child who's under 16 years of age. The payment every 4 weeks. It does not cost the English tax payer one penny.  Now in terms of Scotland.  You are indeed correct. It is dreadful.  CAUSED BY THE FUNDING Of SCOTLAND'S OWN MONEY, by the Westminster wankers.  Now you can see how bankrupt England will still be on indy, between the 28th and 38th Richest country in the world.  That is third world basket case economics. Thank you for pointing out several reasons why Scotland can no longer afford bankrupt England.  Would you care to correct any of that.  instead of ranting it. 

Hi jonksy


Well on the drug problem. I specifically remember big discussions and new initiatives set out by the Scottish government. Might be a load of rubbish, but they must have set aside whatever they do about independence and spent some time on that. Logical?
