    All he needs to do now is stop the crazed Lefties from bringing back Corbyn’s suicidal manifesto as Official Raving Loony Party policy at their conference.

    Then if the 43 per cent actually bother to show up he will get five years to totally destroy the country, making sure that everyone in the RMT is a millionaire but ignoring bread will cost two million. I wonder how many of the 43 per cent will still be alive in Sadiq Khan’s London in two year’s time.

    In Fantasy Scotland, Aldo says everything is coming up roses, so there must have been a serious turnaround on these headlines from 2021:

    Scottish education system to be overhauled after damning OECD report

    OECD: “the exams system for older pupils was not consistent with CfE’s underlying ethos; there was a lack of robust data for assessing school performance; that teachers spent too long teaching and not enough time developing lessons; and there was no clear leadership on curriculum development.”

    OECD: “performance in maths and sciences had stagnated between 2009 and 2015 and failed to improve since then.”

    No wonder the Independence rabble have so much difficulty with their numbers...


    Scotland's NHS financially unsustainable and under severe pressure, Audit Scotland says

    Critics said the “scathing report” was a “damning indictment on almost a decade and a half of SNP mismanagement”.

    In 2020/21, the health budget was £18bn, accounting for 35 per cent of the total Scottish Budget.

    “Scotland’s NHS is on an emergency footing, but I have no confidence that the SNP and Humza Yousaf are capable of restoring it to full health given their dire track record.”


    Scottish government inadequately prepared for Covid, says watchdog

    Stephen Boyle, auditor general for Scotland, told BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme: “What we’ve been saying for many years is the financial sustainability of the NHS has been under threat.”


    Scots have made use of their powers over income tax, increasing the rates on higher earners and reducing them, slightly, on lower earners. The changes have been real and substantial, increasing revenues by about 4 per cent, or £500 million. Given that Scotland’s population is less than one tenth that of the UK, that’s equivalent to more than £5 billion in UK terms.

    More money to spend on NHS Scotland and Education Scotland for the SNP but incompetently spent.

    You can swim where you choose, fish have to live where they are.
    **** sake man, nobody is saying either is good but if you condemn one you must condemn the other.

    As an aside, people also drink the water those fish you couldn't give a **** about live in.

    Temporal analysis showed that the relationship between mental illness, happiness, and political ideology has existed in the GSS data since the 1970s and still existed in the 2010s. Within-study meta-analysis of all the results found that extreme liberals had a 150% increased rate of mental illness compared to moderates. The finding of increased mental illness among left-wingers is congruent with numerous findings based on related constructs, such as positive relationships between conservatism, religiousness and health in general.

    The conservative advantage in mental health keeps replicating

    It has been claimed that left-wingers or liberals (US sense) tend to more often suffer from mental illness than right-wingers or conservatives. This potential link was investigated using the General Social Survey cumulative cross-sectional dataset (1972-2018).

    Within-study meta-analysis of all the results found that extreme liberals had a 150% increased rate of mental illness compared to moderates. The finding of increased mental illness among left-wingers is congruent with numerous findings based on related constructs, such as positive relationships between conservatism, religiousness and health in general.

    The conservative advantage seems to be their more griller attitude, of accepting inequality as reasonable, and thus focusing their time on playing a game fair, achieving their goals within the system such as it is. The left-wing mentality is more about complaining that life is unfair.

    So who's responsible for holding up the goods to shops?

    Why do you think businesses exist, do you think they are just there to pay people wages? how do you think the buildings, land and infrastructure gets paid for, why do you think people invest (buy shares) in companies.

    No wonder the world is ****ed with people like you in it <doh>
