    If English Devolution comes to pass...

    We face the lovely scenario of A labour UK government ( dont laugh )backed up by the usual scottish labour liars and thieves , sorry MPS . We then have a powerless Labour UK government as they will be unable to Govern England as without their scottish labour lackies they will rarely have a majority in a devolved England.

    Going to enjoy watching the utter implosion of the deceitful disgraceful labour party. At least the Tories dont pretend not to be utter Kvunts.

    A devolved English Governemnt will mean even less money for Scotland, was a smart move by Cameron really and will justify them changing the Barnett formula and will mean whoever is in charge at Scottish Parliament will have to raise taxes to get anywhere close to the money we get now or make drastic cuts and get rid of some of the benefits we have that others dont in UK.

    It will make it a lot easier for them to privatise the NHS too if we cant balance the books without raising taxes.

    on the subject of privatising the NHS its been written about for years now how the Torys are actively heading down that road how anyone can believe the Torys when they said they wouldnt is beyond me. Its been common knowledge and will line many Tory donors pockets

    What will Murphy and Curran find to do to justify their million-pound expenses bill if the English parliament gets the nod at the same time as the Scottish parliament gets extra powers which will impact on every person in Scotland, No or Yes voting.

    In 2011 the former Tory leadership candidate Michael Portillo admitted that David Cameron and the Tories had lied to the public about their intentions towards the NHS before the 2010 General Election: "They did not believe they could win an election if they told you what they were going to do because people are so wedded to the NHS."

    its already started to privatise the NHS

    "The Tories have been carving up the NHS and giving away the pieces to their donors
    Circle Health, which is 29.2% owned by a hedge fund run by major Tory party donor Paul Ruddock has been handed over £1.3 billion in NHS contracts. Other Tory party donors with major investments in Circle Health include Martyn Arbib, Crispin Odey and Michael Platt."

    "Care UK has received over £100 million in NHS contracts. Their chairman is John Nash who has made £247,250 worth of donations to the Tory party. Aside from his company picking up huge NHS contract as a result of Tory party legislation, he has also been handed a seat in the unelected House of Lords. "

    Privatising the profits, socialising the losses

    The most recent example of privatising the profits and socialising the losses can be seen in the botched eye operations carried out at the NHS Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton by the private sector contractor Vanguard Health. 30 of the 60 operations carried out by the private company led to complications, including complete blindness in one case. After just four days the NHS Hospital terminated the contract with Vanguard, but it seems that the NHS hospital will be held liable for compensations to the victims of these botched eye operations carried out on NHS premises by a private company. Another example of the taxpayer having to pay out for the failings of private health companies can be in the case of the Lister Surgicentre in Stevenage, which was run by the private company Clinicenta until the contract was terminated early in 2013 due to poor standards of care. In order to terminate the contract, the taxpayer had to fork out £53 mill
