Just heard a rumour that Cameron has promised to make any mention of 1966 a criminal offence punishable by the death penalty if Sotland says no.

Nae bother mate.
Now you know yer gonne have to skin an extra joint for the trip so it's all good![]()
Interesting.
Theres **** all wrong with the NHS apart from A&E waiting times.
Am curious, pud. Would you let people who couldn't afford the "extra" NHS money to receive the same treatment? or would you privitise that part and let companies run a bidding war to see who can do it the cheapest?
I wouldn't see a problem with it. Especially if its a optional or seperate tax.
I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't mind paying a extra portion of their income to a tax if they knew that every penny of it went to the NHS. I wouldn't.
Shouldn't move you up a waiting list faster though.
Man a is an oap
Man b is a fit 30 years old
A pays nowt each month
B pays an additional 20 quid a month
For years both only use gp n some out patient treatment
One month a falls n rips his ligaments, b tears his cartilage playing football. Both need key hole surgery.
A gets his treatment on nhs.
B gets his treatment done privately
Both benefit from bs , and others, additional contributions which have been invested in nhs services whilst creating enough money to use private consultants.
Like a cash plan but only one pays.
Not everyone paying the additional would need treatment.
There's a big problem with it.
The more you offer private services the more you eradicate the NHS and the more you expose your healthcare services to EU law.
NHS all the way. If you tossers are so willing to pay private annuity to private health care then ye's can **** off to the good ol' u ess of ****in a.
Ya pricks.
The NHS doesn't have universal access to every treatment though. There's always gonna be some private health care within the NHS.
Besides you skipped a few of my posts you pished ****.
I skipped all of them.
But it seems we don't disagree.
Private for services not available on NHS.
Never allow private alternatives to services available on the NHS. This really will erode the NHS and eventually destroy it.
Indeed.
Now

Butting in here, and not really having a lot of knowledge on how profitable these companies are - investors are actually buying Greek government bonds at a return of like 3% per year. If it was that easy to open a pharmaceutical and make a lot more than 3% why aren't a lot more people doing it?
It's a genuine question by the way - if these companies are making a lot more than standard returns then how are they protecting their position?

I was listening to a program on R4 last night on the legalities of the "split".
Supposedly, the Act of Union is not actually an Act at all, more of an international treaty, and as such, parliament does not have the powers to annul the treaty as the British parliament did not exist when the treaty was signed.
I don't think a slender Yes will be the end of this at all.
Yes continuing to bully and intimidate No voters.
SNP wouldn't guarantee their supporters won't be outside polling stations intimidating voters
.I skipped all of them.
