Given the extra £1600 per capita spend in Scotland, do you think it reasonable for Scots to wonder why their NHS is so bang average and why their once great Scottish education system continues to be a drag on the UK's improving PISA rankings?“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0

It's just a shame so many articles in the press are inaccurate then, isn't it?
It's quite amusing to see how desperate the Tories are becoming, though it's quite tragic to think that it's working.
Boo Hoo
Says someone who supports an ideology so bereft of substance it relies exclusively on propaganda, scapegoat politics, and manipulation of reality to engage support from those that can't or won't see through it.0 -
Sturgeon is on record as saying 'judge me on education'...remember that the 12th.0

What Scottish First Minister lied about the violent crime rate in Scotland being at a 40 year low? Remember that on the 12th.0 -

Yeah that's a weird one since the peak low was 5 years ago, which seems to coincide with the merging of the police forces and SNP softening on their commitment to boost police numbers.
I'll remember that on the 12th but it'll take more than that for me to vote for someone else (Labour? Conservative?).
Once we're independent, we can get rid of Sturgeon and and bring in a new government.0 -

None so blind to the truth than the unthinking acolyte.“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0 -
Unthinking acolyte is a bit rich coming from someone who wants Brexit at any cost just to upset the establishment that gain most from it.foxtrotoscar wrote: »...a peak low?...really...is that a thing?Wee Nippy wanted to be judged on education...she's failed....and yet you'll still vote for her Party, are you really that deluded?
There's no good option in this GE, but SNP is by a country mile the least bad of them. As I said, once we become independent the SNP will implode and we'll hopefully get a better government. Even the current SNP government is going to be a lot better than Johnson or Corbyn.0 -

Apparently not. The lowest point.
Yeah she's failed on a few counts, no-one has said she's perfect. Is she less of a failure to the country than her opponents? Absolutely.

She's failed by her own standards and yet she stays on...and on!0
