Scotch Independence - the countdown

[eric cartman]

This is drivel.

What should an elected party do then?

How do tory policies benefit the public?

I paid tution fees in 97 by 98 labour had scrapped them. They weren't reintroduced until the tories got power again.

Looking at wikepedia, tuition fees were introduced in 98 so I guess you are lying/delusional.

My point is that everyone should get the same deal, the free higher education thing is quite a big bonus for those way up north, a big advantage.

Everyone in Scotland does get the same deal .

Do you think the Scottish government should base all their decisions on what Westminster is going to do ?

Devolution is not the problem . A right wing Westminster government is the problem . I advise you to talk to you local mp and tell him you're not happy .

I agree the government should govern in the interest of the electorate. Clearly there are self-serving politicians across the political spectrum, to single out the Tories for this is daft.

Don't need to I can remember. Labour scrapped tuition fees in Scotland. Maybe in England it was different but not in Scotland.

I am singling out their policies. How does privatising the NHS benefit the public?

I'm not concerned about where the money comes from, I'm concerned about living in a country where you get a different deal depending on which bit of the country you live in. Devolution destroyed the UK.

Don't you live in England? If so you don't live in a country where you get a different deal depending on which bit of the country you live in.

Your version of events seems to differ from everyone else's.

I don't know. The question is irrelevant.

I was refering to the UK which you knew. Irrelevance.

I wasn't which you knew. Scotland has it's own powers so if you have an issue with free prescriptions, Education or free bus travel for the over 60s take it up with the UK Government or move to Scotland.

Not really the tories govern for themselves not for the general public as a whole.

You have to pay tuition fees to go to nursery in Scotland? Fuking hell

It's a Union of countries - and competition between them is a great thing for keeping Government in check. The English rightly point to Scotland and ask how they can afford free University - if it wasn't for devolution the question wouldn't be getting asked and we'd all be stuck with a Westminster monopoly.

The former Defence Secretary, Michael Heseltine, has admitted blocking a potential oil boom off the West coast of Scotland in the 1980s.

The Sunday Post revealed last year that declassified documents appeared to show the Ministry of Defence forced oil firms to withdraw applications to drill for oil in the Firth of Clyde, fearing exploration of the seabed would interfere with nuclear submarines travelling to and from Faslane.

Now Lord Heseltine, Defence Secretary at the time, has confirmed it.
