14yrs of Economy Mismanagement

read in the Scottish and English nhs services , the last labour government left a combined bill of £110 billion of debt for PFI projects that should have cost only a fifth of that ?

Lol let's not forget
The Bad situation the previous Tory
Government left the NHS that's why labour had to Buld 100 new hospitals and Reconditioned many others .

We can Desgush the rights or Wrongs of that I rather we not used private funding
But we Cannot deny how the NHS greatly improved under the labour Government.

We're Back to the sorry full days again of Tory mismanagement of the NHS with Record number of waiting list . People dying because Ambulance services can't get to them in time. Im a Caustry of having to wait for A Ambulance .

When I had a Major Stroke u was told to. Make my way in a taxi to hospital what is 11 miles away from home .Because it Could take up to 3hrs before a AMBULANCE could come .

And talk about poverty Stricken Wales
And the NHS Scotland has one of The Worst Mortality rates In Europe and the worst and the Worst in Western Europe.

Also the worst Death Rate of Drug Abuse in the World.

Because you Scottish Nats have made a Crap job of Ruling Scotland.
God help if they ever win Independence.

as a result of years of labour misrule as we have discussed before. The problems began under labour control , and labour left a ticking time bomb for the snp , and the tories in England , to deal with across many areas . Labour had Glasgow at one point as the murder capital of the western world , just as the currently have London the knife crime capital of Europe.

As we discussed before , it's mainly the older generations in Glasgow , who grew up under the misery of labour councils and governments , that were dying of drug abuse. The snp are dealing with labours shameful legacy .

funnily enough , wasn't it just a great big coincidence that knife crime dropped once we started to kick labour out from governance in different levels of Scottish society , while in London , crime is totally out of control under a labour mayors rule? 

It's like the chicken and egg scenario , what comes first , poverty deprivation , knife and drug crime , or labour? Looking at old pictures of Glasgow  pre labour  , I would say the latter.........labour arrive , and the rest follow as a result of labour policy.

 Bring the working class down , get them on benefits and drugs , and demand they vote labour to save them. The labour parties self fulfilling prophecy ...........

Let's see what the drug experts say not some bitter Scottish Nationalist.

population.

As part of the media coverage of the latest drug death statistics, I received a call from Slovakia – a country the same size as Scotland, but with only 19 drug related deaths in 2017. Scotland’s latest figure is 1187. Other European comparisons are also enlightening. The Netherlands and Sweden have adopted very different policy responses to their respective drug problems but what they share is a low level of problematic drug use. This suggests that it is not the drug policy that decides the rate of problem drug use.


Scotland’s drug problem has its roots in

Forthe harsh climate of 1980s

Whoosh
some time we have witnessed drug problems emerge in second and now third generations of families with significant levels of trauma and mental health issues accompanying their poverty. The impact of nearly 1200 deaths on the families and the children left behind is hard to imagine but each year it adds to the burden that Scotland’s communities face.

The growing epidemic of drug-related deaths in Scotland may finally have peaked, data suggests, with experts fearing that one reason could be that the pool of people most at risk of dying from overdoses is shrinking.

Scotland has long had the highest drug-related death rate of any country in Europe.

According to data from the National Records of Scotland, in 2020 there were a record 1,339 drug-related deaths, with figures for 2021 showing a decrease of just nine from the year before. While the number of deaths was still five times more than those recorded in 1996, the small decline was the first drop in drug deaths since 2013.

Now experts say further data suggests the peak of the epidemic may have passed, although the crisis remains severe.

According to the latest figures from the Rapid Action Drug Alerts and Response (Radar) quarterly ​report, the number of incidents in which Scottish ambulance services had to administer the drug naloxone to reverse the effects of opioid use was lower in 2022 than in the previous year, and appears to have stabilised.

The number of drug-related hospital admissions has also declined and stabilised. According to the Radar figures, between July and September 2022 there were 2,024 such admissions compared with 3,643 over the same time period in 2020 and 3,033 in 2021.

As we discussed before , it's mainly the older generations in Glasgow , who grew up under the misery of labour councils and governments , that were dying of drug abuse. The snp are dealing with labours shameful legacy .

Yes has we discussed before
That dosent explain why the drugs deaths are so much higher than England's

Are you saying that the drug addicts in England didn't start taking drugs at a early but England still has a much lower death rate In England.

So it's obvious that the dreaded Tiry Government has controlled the drug problem better then the Scottish Nationalist lol

Hang on are you saying the Scottish nats aren't left wing lol

We see when labour get into power if that what most of us won't.
