Okay, I'll get me coat!<br /><br />It's quite strange actually how little Lamont, Rennie, Davidson and Darling are contributing to the referendum question apart from a few plaintive bleats from Darling and Rennie.<br /><br />I've noticed the glib reference by Dean to "tartan tories" - it's the Labour way. Wait a minute, no, it used to be the Labour's way but recent events have shown that there is not much between their respective policies. Any further advances by UKIP in the European elections and Labour will be forced to try and appease their supporters in an attempt to thwart the Tories. <br /><br />As the Chinese say "We live in interesting times" but they regard that as a warning or a curse!John Brownliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248027418059598116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-19453206057331458602013-08-08T17:25:03.824+01:002013-08-08T17:25:03.824+01:00Thanks anon.

But it is a lot better than the english system which is falling apart at the seams.<br /><br />Partly because of the idiotic Lansley changes;<br />Partly because Dave promoted his pal way beyond his capabilities, on the strength that he brought in the greatest Olympics in the history of the world bar none (although no one will tell us how much it cost, and in any case he had very little to do with it, given that it was a London affair and they had a company to run it and a minister to look after it, and in any case the promotion occurred before it be came apparent that there was no legacy);<br /><br />Partly because there aren't enough staff;<br /><br />Partly because too many of the staff won't work any hours except Monday- Friday, 9-5, and sadly even the Tories can't arrange for people not to fall sick outwith these hours.<br /><br />The point I make is that as a dependent nation, we get pocket money to run our health service, based on how much it costs them to run theirs.<br /><br />They have cut and cut until thousands of people die needlessly because of inefficiency and disinterest in the organisation.<br /><br />We only get 10% of the money they get; the less they get, the less we get. They may be content to allow people to die so that they can save money. I'm not happy with that state of affairs. I blame them... of course I do. It is them who dole out the money.<br /><br />Dean...calling them Tartan Tories went out in teh 70s.

Now with the on-going privatisation of the NHS in England and labours support of it in the main we will receive less pocket money. This will result in severe cuts to services or the slow forced privatisation of health in Scotland, maybe you could get Johan to comment on that but I won't hold my breath in case I get accused of being one of those something for nothing people.<br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-44833776116407298512013-08-08T13:24:20.086+01:002013-08-08T13:24:20.086+01:00I love how SNP cybernats can still blame their exe...I love how SNP cybernats can still blame their executive for their failures over devolved powers ... on everyone else except themselves.<br /><br />Health is devolved... and you lot blame the Tories? <br /><br />We all knew that the SNP were tartan Tories ...

He has an election to win and people who have just lost a friend or relative in an A&E department with no staff are unlikely to vote Tory. <br /><br />But once he has the next election out of the way, if we have said "NO", I can only imagine the miserly that his foul policies will visit upon them, and us.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-71221621160310782802013-08-08T11:07:57.898+01:002013-08-08T11:07:57.898+01:00They seek her here; they seek her there; they seek...They seek her here; they seek her there; they seek the Scarlet Pimpernel everywhere, but round and round and round she goes, where she'll end up no one knows ('cept maybe Milibean, who's hidden her).<br /><br />To be honest, Snotty, I'm just hoping that one of her acolytes will see this and pass it on to her.
