Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
I was going to vote no, but then I thought back to William Wallace and Rob Roy and thought 'I'll vote yes', but then I thought 'you can't go around voting for stuff based on ancient history, I mean William Wallace must have been at least 150 years ago so I'll just vote no' but then I saw a mad thing that said '140 countries have gained independence and not one has asked to go back' so I thought that's a fair point so I'll vote yes but then I sat down and thought about it and thought, 'of course they never asked to go back I mean who the **** would they ask' so then I thought 'Right its a no for this bear' but the best of it was after all my conflicting thoughts it dawned on me that I don't even get a vote cos I'm not even from here, so whatever you vote make sure you're sure and be safe x

The NHS is great for services such as A&E/GP service and operations (if you have time to wait) but for long term problems or operations needing immediate attention or requiring a quick fix (torn ligaments), your better going Private.

There is room to run both the NHS and Private services.

NHS provision should also be means tested i.e. entirely free for OAPs, people under a certain level of income etc with a staggered system for paying an additional premium for those above certain levels of income.

and only for Scotchies, no foreigners or settlers allowed in a pro Nazi white supremacist Independent Scotchland.

No **** that ****. The NHS should be free for every single citizen of the UK and private heath care should be outlawed. :)

You need to very careful about how much private services you allow. It's a sneaky back door to full privatisation of the NHS. Further, private healthcare is exposed to EU law imposed by Brussels as part of the freedom of movement of EU citizens.
 
I'd happily pay an extra £20 a month (same as my private medical insurance premium) for additional NHS services outwith GP/A&E service.
 
All private schools should be forced to close and the state will provide education for all citizens. This is the only way to give every individual an equal and fair start in life. :)

Split the state school system in two and make kids sit standard entrance exams at age 5 and age 11

Fail the test: entry available into one system only - teach them basics and skills for life.

Pass the test: entry into the other system - teach them an advanced curriculum.

f**in hell, Aldous Huxley has turned up.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception...
