Bit early in the day for a spot of However off the top of my head, free prescriptions and eye tests for all has made a huge difference as has the 600 hours of funded early learning and childcare a year.

daytripping Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The SNP have a report commissioned by them that states they don't know how they'd be able to afford current pension levels. Free prescriptions are welcomed but were free for those that couldn't afford them anyway. In the grand scheme of things they've played at being politicians, minimum alcohol pricing, smoke ban in boozers, nanny state politics. The big things like education have been a mess. Link to comment

caledonia Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 One question If staying in the UK is so good and the SNP are so bad why do you think the majority of voters keep voting for them? Anyway a Sturgeon and a Salmond trumps a Pike Link to comment

(Notice there is nothing about education improving, the positive impact their nationalisation of the emergency services has had. Also, no mention of the negative impact that free uni education, or the limiting of spaces in courses - such as medicine - has had in terms of unis actively seeking to bring foreign students in at the expense of Scottish ones).

For Fecks Sake Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 There is the fact that Scotland has the highest drugs deaths in Europe, shows the SNP's approach to drugs is not working. Worse than that, despite making it a key focus of the SNP, the poverty gap in Scotland has widened of late. Like all governments, some success stories but they also have their problems and failures as well. Link to comment

Ive always thought the gaelic signs on the "Poileas" cars was a fantastic policy. Not only was it a good use of taxpayers money, but it certainly reassured me about the threadbare case for independence. Im also currently impressed how the SNP are defying parliament by refusing to hand over legal advice which the parliament voted they must share. They high regard for democracy and transparency makes me proud to be Scots and - once again - highlights the huge gravitas of Holyrood. Link to comment

Not really, there would just be deaths in / around consumption rooms instead. They are in charge of policing and education, that should be ample to make solid headway against drugs deaths. But, its just too hard for them and so they give us "we were going to copy someone else's idea, but the bad English wont let us". Pathetic. 1 1 Link to comment

A lot of drug related deaths aren't purely down to 'shooting up'. Fake Valium has accounted for a percentage of drug related deaths over the last couple of years. Also, by allowing users to bring their own, they are allowing it to be continued to be dealt by the 'scheme dealers', with no control on quality. Quality and mix has a massive impact. Link to comment

It's their mentality, fuck all to do with government policy. They dig goth culture, The Smiths and they don't mind dying. Moobs was wanting Trump to nuke Scotland. These cunts have taken nihilism to beyond the pale. @manboobs109 The best way I've heard it described, by a junkie, is slow suicide. They know they are killing themselves and don't care. As DD1903 says most of the 'drug deaths' aren't from smack. It's various different opiates, real and fake, taken as tablets. Legalising drugs, giving them fix rooms, increasing detox facilities will have minimal effect, you need to give people something to live for. Link to comment
