It's never the good practices that you read about in msm though:
"SCOTLAND has “blazed a trail” in areas of health policy, chief medical officer for England Sir Chris Whitty has said."

Cannot disagree with the severe lack of talent in Scottish politics though

Is The National not just The Party’s fanzine though?

Ironically beloved by very few readers now, who seem not to realise that it’s a publication owned and produced by the “yooooooon” “Toary” Herald? Capitalism diversifying to exploit as usual.

I tend to trust my own antennae by absorbing news sources from across the political spectrum and looking quite closely at verified data produced on ‘operational’ matters. It’s not a pretty picture from both neo-liberal governments under whose yoke I’m imprisoned.

I’ve always liked the (admittedly-illiberal) quote from Harry Lime, “You know what the fellow said—in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, and they had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”

And a cardboard box with a couple of infant picture books, a half dozen frenchies, and some fanny pads, let’s not forget.
