    It would cost the government hundreds of £Ms to implement such a solution, it would also make people beel. How much do you reckon is spent per year on the people you don't think should claim free prescriptions? (genuine question)

    60 year olds get free bus travel whether they are working or not, its ****ing nonsense. Whenever I have to use a bus (which is seldom) there are arseholes using their bus passes to travel 1 or 2 stops. ****s can't even walk 200 yards ffs.

    They get free travel on trains which causes rows every day,you book a seat on a train and there's some OAP in your seat,plenty tell them to GTF and they do barely get out of the seat trick :cheesy:

    btw you pay extra for your booking

    Years of Tory government has turned ****s against each other and broken down society.

    'If they get X/Y/Z and I don't, then I'm going to beel until no one gets anything'

    It's ****ing disgusting.

    As saffy says we pay a higher rate of tax in Scotland, I generally don't mind the idea of paying a wee bit extra to help people worse off than me but I don't see the logic behind giving everyone who's reached 60 free bus travel. It's a completely arbitrary number, 65 maybe or 70 but 60 ffs, it's absolutely pointless.

    That's the opposite of my opinion...

    I'll gladly pay for any prescriptions until I am unable to work .

    And if my pensions work out , then again at that point .
