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.
Spoken like the true 72 year old raging ex bent copper twat that he is.
