The Scottish Politics thread

Saddleworth I never said you personally felt hard done by finance. I fell many Scots come across as they get a rough deal from the UK government when clearly that isn't the case.

Why should I debate something I feel is grossly disproportionate. And results in such disparity between parts of the UK. Such as free higher education, free care for the elderly, prescriptions car parking in NHS hospitals. For me it's a no brainer.

The UKs wealth should be distributed evenly on a needs basis so if a person in Inverness needs cancer care she gets the same treatment options as a person in Cardiff or Belfast. If a family from Manchester with three children want to send their kids to university, those kids shoudl leave University with the same oportunitunites and debt as those from a family from Dundee. This is not rocket science it's what I firmly believe most people want out of any society. There is simply no reason for me to debate this. For example Its a similar situation to you coming back to me and trying to justify the existence of an unelected house of Lords. I am so opposed to the house of Lords in its current guise. It would be a pointless debate. Cheers

My Mrs is a staff nurse and pays over £110 a month for parking. No idea where you got that one from mate.

My Mrs works in the nhs and I think it's gone back to paying through the nose now. She'd have rather had another few months free parking but she got a clap on a Thursday night instead. That's A clap, not THE clap btw.

It was free before March this year apart from 3 hospitals its free in all now. Is that a problem for you to understand?

How do you know she doesn’t work in one of the three hospitals?
I’m sure she’d know if she didn’t have to pay without being told by some bloke near Stoke using a 5 month old BBC article as proof.

Oooh I take it you concede you were wrong then? That would be a first!

Not sure what you’re on about. You told another poster that his wife didn’t have to pay for parking even though she thinks she does. I said it’s more likely she knows than you and you posted a five month article that you thought proved your point but you don’t know where she works so it proves nothing.
