MacDuffman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 “A former chief medical officer believes that the SNP has made significant improvements in the health of Scottish people after almost a decade of ineffective Labour policies. Sir Harry Burns, who was appointed by Jack McConnell’s Labour Scottish executive in 2005, said that there had been a notable shift in direction in the Scottish parliament under the SNP.Tony Blair said in an interview with Holyrood magazine to mark 20 years of devolution that the SNP had not made “massive improvements” in healthcare. He added that devolution had not made much of a difference in Scottish policy and that independence would be no more transformative. “If you believe that there are things that you can’t do, that if only you were able to do, it would transform Scotland, that makes the case for independence strong, but I struggle to see what these are,” the former prime minister said. “The experience of devolution so far with different parties in power, first with a Labour-Lib Dem government, then with an SNP-led government, the truth is . . . it gives you that ability to make policy but doesn’t tell you what is the right policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My present partner (I call her that just to keep her on her toes) worked for a while at the same medical centre where Shipman was based in the mid-nighties. Apparently he was well known for having a very comforting and reassuring bedside manner. Many of his patients would insist on seeing him even if it meant them having to wait longer for treatment. It takes all kinds, I suppose... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Apparently the significant increase in knife crime and fatal stabbing has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with cuts in police funding. NOTHING, get it NOTHING AT ALL. Since reducing police numbers has no impact on crime maybe it would be a good idea to cut them further and save more money. It’s a shocking state of affairs when this obviously good idea has to come from someone posting on a football forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, there's a shock......... So someone who has voted for a Labour MP not only sees their MP leave the Labour Party but sees them becoming part of a new party that includes people who were voted in as Tory MPs. Seems a bit undemocratic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
