Scotland's NHS

[Bodie80]

No comments on the complete and utter mess it's in because of the SNP ? Disco Buc, Stewarty I can't hear you :O

I bet it's all big bad Westminsters fault and I bet it's okay because the English NHS is in a worse mess

The SNP are really doing a great job in looking after the people of Scotland. The police, NHS and schools are all in a shambles but don't worry it's not our fault. Let's not bother about these important things and let's put all our efforts into getting independence.

At least people are waking up to this deplorable party led by a complete .............

No one is waking up to anything - it's just the same regurgitated nonsense as before. Were the problems you mentioned easy to fix, then everyone would be fixing them. The fact is they are not easily fixable, but those like you have no interest in whether they get fixed or not, but are simply using them as a stick to beat people with.
Which problems exactly is it you would like to see fixed with the police, schools and NHS?
What outcomes would you like to see that you do not currently see?
How would you achieve these outcomes?

They could start by doing away with that atrocious 'Police Scotland' idea, which has been an unmitigated disaster from day one.

The problem with the SNP is they seem to be too busy jailing Fitba supporters, pardoning bummers from the 1970s & giving out baby boxes to concentrate on the more important things.

The NHS for a start, they made loads of targets and hit a couple. Police Scotland has not worked out very well. Classroom sizes in schools, targets again failed. Of course I want these problems fixed but the SNP are only interested in one thing. I'm not a politician so don't have the answers but I do know if the SNP put as much effort as they do in gaining independence into the three mentioned things they would be a lot better than they are now.

Free Prescriptions=Less well off folk don't have to choose between healing and feeding themselves.
University Fees=Places available to all kids with ability and not just the priviliged Elite.

I'm quite willing to pay extra taxes for the above if it helps the less well off but Selfish Tory Boy Bodie only seems to be interested in his own wee Butcher's Apron World.

People who needed help for prescriptions ALWAYS got it. Free prescriptions benefit the rich.

University fees - just means more thickos can doss about doing a different course every year for phuck all.

Not entirely true Noah,people on low wages got no help with prescriptions.Agree there's a lot of thickos dossing about Uni having a Spliffing time at the old boys club,they usually end up becoming Tory politicians.

Your beloved SNP could raise taxes but won't as they know it will loose them the votes of a lot of people.
I would willingly pay an extra penny tax if it went to the NHS.
And you keep calling the Union flag that Spameater as it really doesn't bother me when someone is deliberately doing so to get at me.

And well done you managed to post without a stupid picture B)

[Bodie80]

And now it's coming out the SNP are trying to pull the wool over our eyes about the police Scotland numbers. I, they are really getting found out slowly but surely :D

Nowt wrong wi' a wee bit of political satire,you don't like people having different opinions from your own do you?

People on low wages won't benefit from reducing air passenger duty tax either. Guess who will though?

[Taintedice]

University fees - just means more thickos can doss about doing a different course every year for phuck all.sad but true. would be good if only useful courses attracted help and not all those wishy-washy courses offered by art colleges and the likes.

[Taintedice]

Does anyone remember the campaign slogan the SNP used in the first toytown elections, 'A Penny for Scotland'? They were trounced by labour who promised no tax rises. Politicians are not nice people, all they care about is a wee bit of power. Labour now favour tax rises, go figure. The point is, Scotland being independent or not has phukk all to do with these people, the SNP are however in power to pursue that policy just as they should be fixing schools and hospitals, whatever it is bodie thinks is wrong with them :D

[Taintedice]

People on low wages won't benefit from reducing air passenger duty tax either. Guess who will though?the end of the bedroom tax, the removal of ATOS, the removal of sanctions for being late to interviews, these are things which will help people who need it most. As for airport tax, have you ever been to Glasgow airport during the Fair, it ain't the stars of GLOW turning up in their joggers XD

That's all the important information you need to know Bodie. Couldn't care less about down south Stewarty, the SNP set targets and failed on almost everyone of them. That's the information the people of Scotland need

[Taintedice]

bodie is that daft he thinks politicians fail their own targets because of something they've not done

OK Bodie I will concede some target's have been missed. But the fact remains the NHS has improved since the SNP came to power even you can't argue that fact as the figures are all there for all to see. The NHS is under real pressure all across the UK What would you like up here Bodie ?Privatisation like is sweeping across England. But I have to say the biggest threat to the NHS has been correctly identified by UNISON amongst others as the Tory government.

UNISON says Devolution means they can't run down and privatise our NHS directly, the way they are doing in England. But what they can do is starve it of resources. They are cutting back on the money provided to the Scottish Government and this puts the health budget under pressure. The bottom line for me Bodie is as always... Give us total control over our finances and we will build an NHS fit for purpose for ALL our people. Whilst down South (which does affect us greatly) will continue to privatise the NHS.
