The Scottish Politics thread

[Coatigan]

It’s not looking good for independence when excuses of a large landmass are being trotted out for government failure lol.

By all means defend her and her party but come on ;-)

A&E waiting times being the worst on record have got nothing to do with Ambulances or landmass btw and everything to do with people being sat waiting for over 4 hours to be seen.

That is all true. I notice it has dropped from 12 hours to 4 hours pretty quickly, so lets hope it keeps improving.

All joking aside though, it is something that really does need improvement.

The thread relates to the Scottish Governments overall performance in managing social affairs, most recently healthcare. To which they have a much larger logistical challenge than compared with down South. That's what you replied to... . Obviously not at one with the recent post are we mate? Confused with the waiting times thread?

Want me to draw you a wee map, point out the hospitals and explain how ambulances have to cover a much larger geographical area. And how it means more people spread out over much greater distances from hospitals. It doesn't hurt the brain to conclude to why that may be an evident factor in running a national health service. Which btw, includes ambulances covering 96 islands...

It really is not that hard to comprehend. Unless your brains been blunted by too many pictures in the Daily Express?

I think his point was waiting times don't include getting to the hospital. They do include treatment and discharge.

G'zunteit.

That to me means pretty much exactly what this (here at least) result means to anything. Sweet fuck all.

What’s the story then fellow Scots? Is it tug our forelock and put up with another 50 years of Tory governance, vote for a lacklustre SNP that increasingly show hehaw competence for something as mighty difficult as independence. Do nothing and complain?
Or are we fucked whatever we do?

Has the pandemic sucked the fire and ambition from our bellies?

Vote Labour and stay within the UK ;-)

Vote Labour and stay within the UK ;-)

Only if you promise England do the same ;-)

Seriously though Tory rule is only guaranteed seemingly because Labour lost Scotland.

We all vote Labour!

I’m interested to know, have you got street parties and union flags everywhere like us today? Can’t move for celebration down here.

Wouldn't make any difference replace the SNP MP's with Labour and overall majority remains the same.
