So now that Scotland has been confirmed as an English colony in law 11:11 - Nov 23 with 6958 views | bluelagos | Can we now adopt an England first approach to Twtding? Glassers, DK, Homer et al to have their posts quality checked before posting. We'd need some volunteers to do the hard lifting / checking so maybe we also limit their posts to 5 a day? Any objections from the English posters? (Scottish posters / residents can button it) |  |

Pinewood will have an opinion on that I guess, for what is it worth I currently identify as a slightly Scottified Suffolk Boy (which is preferable to being a Suffolkated Scot...) |  |

This is not Scottish government policy, but as with everything relating to the SNP is being reported as if it is. |  | |  |

This was typical during the independence campaign, and turned me staunchly pro-independence Indeed, even the Queen got involved, as we know now. |  | |  |

It’s being discussed. If this was being discussed by the Westminster government there would be an absolute meltdown. The SNP shouldn’t get a free pass and it’s correct that Labour are hammering them for this. Edit. Hmmmm obviously more smears from us “yoonies” [Post edited 23 Nov 2022 14:08]

You don’t want to go the same way as William Wallace. Sold out by a Scottish knight and hanged/butchered naked at Smithfield Market. Head on a spike on London Bridge. |  | |  |

A much better example is Robert the Bruce and Bannockburn. |  | |  |

Unless I’m misunderstanding, wasn’t it one option of several discussed between Scottish NHS leaders and not the government? So the Westminster comparison isn’t appropriate. Besides, Sturgeon has come out and said her government isn’t going to consider a change to the free at the point of service model, so that should really be the end of it. Also a misleading quote in there about the Barnett formula. They do use Westminster set funding levels to calculate the funding awards. So there are constraints the devolved Govts have to work under, even if they have autonomy within the total budget allocated. Westminster can drastically increase public spending if they want to whereas devolved governments have limited borrowing powers. |  |

hmmm, so it's ok to accuse the tories of wanting to privatise the nhs, but when the scottish government discusses something very similar it's a smear against the snp. good to get that clear. |  |

Can you point us to the BBC coverage of the Tories privatising NHS services in England? In the week before a key election. |  | |  |
