    My Da works full time at 67 and can travel around Ireland free. It means he doesn't take the car which should be encouraged also?

    And a couple of hospitals with 200m?

    The Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital cost £75 million to build, or £90 million including equipment and infrastructure.

    It's not totally random. It was brought in when the pension age for women was 60. Rather than discriminate against men the decided to give both free travel at that age.

    The fact that successive despicable Westminster governments have deemed it necessary to work the population to death and raise the pension ages of both men and women is the real nonsense here.

    Free uni was thanks to Scottish Labour.

    Prescription charges being dropped are good but nobody with an actual illness paid for them anyway. A trinket in other words.

    Some ordinary medicines we used to pay £6 for actually cost the NHS £500.

    Freeing up the £6 is a drop in the ocean.

    Yip

    Medical Certificates that nobody ever asked for.

    Next time you get a prescription check the back of it for all the exemptions from payment that are still there for some reason.

    Oh dear. Here we go again.

    Labour didn't scrap tuition fees in Scotland. They did away with the up front fees that were actually put in place by...Tony Blair's Labour government. They did this because the Lib Dems insisted on it or they wouldn't join them in coalition government. Instead they brought in a graduate scheme where students would pay after they graduated and made more than £10 000 a year. This meant that Scots students were paying more than English students because Scottish graduate course are 4 years, a year longer than the English equivalent.

    It was Salmonds SNP government that scrapped all tuition fees.

    Yer welcome.

    Perhaps an opt out scheme should be put in place so rich ****s like Pud can pay for his prescriptions.

    Here we go again...

    The payments made by students were not for their tuitions. They were for a graduate endowment and abour half of students were exempt from repaying it.

    Yer welcome.

    So the ones that paid it were charged for tuition then.

    Nope.

    They funded an endowment that paid towards bursaries for poorer students
