The New Fat Scotland 'Thanks for all the Fish' Thread.

Kid's with anorexia having to relocate over 300 miles from London to Glasgow in order to get help ... surely that isn't good ?

I think if I lived down south I would definitely be asking questions about the state of my NHS

Not that the Scottish NHS is great by any stretch of the imagination .... but I think I certainly wouldn't be quiet if I lived in England ... I would concentrate more on that then what another country is up to

Are you trying to take over from Shakey, "swamping" a thread with posts to get relevant points relegated to earlier pages?

Poor attempt at diverting the conversation. Perhaps Nicola should focus a lot more on a whole range of topics. Looking after the interests of the people she represents rather than own selfish agenda.

You're not so easily going to distract attention from Sturgeon's blatantly obvious and snide threats.

I reckon it's the people that are doing wrong there not Nicola, although I do seem to recall the Scottish government trying to introduce a minimum unit of alcohol price, it's still going through the courts, it isn't the total answer to the early deaths here, but it's a start

maybe Scottish people should get to retire 2 years earlier ... to make it fair like


so May then ... how is she fixing the NHS current crisis right now ?


That's two pieces of news I have given that the Scottish government have came up with since the 1st Jan ... we still only know Brexit means Brexit ... hmm mm maybe May should get on with the day job ?

Or will we just keep going with the SNPBBBBAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD?

Maybe we should force Scotland to charge prescription fees, and the university fees too, after all they helped vote in the fees for England, then we will take that money and put it into the English NHS.

Of course e should actually do what the government is trying to get us to do, and make sure that people that are not entitled to free treatment are charged as they should be.

I prefer the first option myself, get Scoutland used to paying their way in preparation for independance.

Well I spose Scotland BBBBAAAAAAADDDDDDD is a new tactic ... well done


Me personally I think people of England should not be paying prescription charges, Wales don't and neither do we, I don't quite understand why people down south find the government's treatment of them acceptable

Whatever you're on I politely suggest you lay off it.
Because you are becoming incomprehensible, both grammatically and with your spelling.

Scots (and the Welsh) ARE paying for precriptions.
In a different way to England who use a kind of PAYG system admittedly, but we pay all the same.
Unless you think the funding for your "free" prescription is somehow achieved by magic?

As for the "givernmen's" (sic) treatment of the English public re: the NHS, there are/have been plenty threads in these forums.
Perhaps try reading some?

Because one of the most recent ( https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5580729 )
details one reason for disruption and delay at least.
Or maybe you think that so many high call rates to Emergency Services doesn't affect the use of these services at all?

Hmmm 'threats' the ultra unionist Daily Record thoroughly approve of too.

Nicola Sturgeon is right to fight for a soft Brexit and should push for IndyRef2 if it doesn't happen

Record View says the First Minister is Britain's best hope for avoiding the economic nightmare of a hard Brexit.

...It’s also fair for her to retain the right to call a second independence referendum if 
Scotland looks set to be forced into the calamity of a hard Brexit.
The SNP leader’s central political ambition remains Scottish statehood. It will never be far from her thinking.
And if the threat of the break-up of Britain can help focus the UK Government’s mind on Brexit, then all the better.

But for that strategy to work, the threat has to be taken off the table if Sturgeon gets the soft Brexit she is demanding. It’s only right that she has done so.
Cynics will point to polls showing no 
appetite for a second indyref as one reason for the First Minister’s comments yesterday.


But is a soft Brexit likely? The rhetoric from Theresa May would suggest not.
Another independence referendum could still very much be on the cards.

Is always the same story when the Tories are in charge of the NHS. People lying on trolleys in corridors for days and hospitals shutting their doors. I remember it last time round too.

Meanwhile...

Yeah I saw that ... no doubt Nicola could do better though

Absolutely there will be .... so what's May doing about the current crisis ?

Where's her leadership skills ?

My friends who work in the NHS are disgusted with the potrayal in the news. As one put it how can you compare a hospital ED department with Alleppo. Alleppo is a humaritarian crisis. A wait for treatment isn't comparable. Nor is the UK Red Cross comparable with it's international namesake. Try spending 2 years in Afghanistan working for the Red Cross treating children who've walked on land mines. That'll put the UK's current NHS crisis into a much clearer perspective.
