WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This isnt really meant as a dig, but not every single interaction in life needs to be framed against your hate for tories. We get it. You've said lots of times. As have the right thinking among us, but almost everyone who has railed against the SNP has also been pretty successful in dismantling the "ye must be a tory" bullshit that has infected the minds of many. There arent really many tories on here. Stop howling at the clouds. That was a direct reference to Oaky's wee dig. There's plenty of cűnts who vote SNP, Labour and otherwise. There's even one leading the Labour party, and a couple of others on the front bench.Supporting the conservative party, however, is akin to following one of the so-called old firm - by voting for them, supporters are condoning separatism, bigotry, racism and discrimination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Litt Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 My girlfriend's brother is a police officer and just came out of isolation with covid on Wednesday. Got told by his boss today he's to isolate for another 10 days because he was a close contact on a call on Friday. Has 2 jags but had to reschedule his booster because he was infected during the date of his appointment and isn't considered fully vaccinated Keeping people safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why the f**k are you sneering at, deriding and trolling people who largely share reasonably similar views to you? Seriously. Is it boredom with you? You'd start a fight in an empty house FFS. Because it's not these aspects I take issue with. The things that bug me are the hypocrisy, the demonising of particular groups and the promotion of individualism. I'm perfectly at ease with the idea of a big state, even a nanny one. That places me at odds with much of what gets posted here. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo and behold, the Queen of Doom herself, our old pal Deepti, went in big on this one. She ignored the study on long covid you posted on here yesterday, almost certainly because it doesn't fit her narrative.

Billy Jean King Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’ve thought for a while, we’ve (in the UK) had too high an expectation from the NHS; exactly as you say, there’s too much free access and treatment and I’d vote for a means tested system rather than the vanity projection of free prescriptions for all in Scotland. COVID has brought this all to an acute need for resetting in the future. My work colleague in Ireland pays around £100 or so per month for health insurance and I’d happily pay more for a better serviced NHS. They have their own issues in Ireland to deal with; mainly staffing as trained nurses and doctors often move to UK or USA etc for better salaries. That’s also my concern about pumping more endless money into our NHS; you lose a large chunk straight away in salaries and admin rather than frontline staff and equipment etc. Either way, I suspect we’ll be paying a lot more for the NHS one way or another in the coming years. Clearly you have no understanding of the cost of means testing. It's a hugely expensive method of delivering services or welfare. It's also massively bureaucratic and given the levels of bureaucracy already within the NHS, more is the last thing that's needed. Means testing prescriptions for example would merely exclude people currently receiving with no perceived savings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not based on prejudice; it's based on simple demographic facts as well as Scotland's notorious issues of crap diets and not enough exercise. The number of people with type 2 diabetes alone has increased to 19% of the over 65s population, who make up around half of all sufferers of that disease by GP records. That you don't like the reality that ageing and chronic ill-health are undermining Scottish healthcare or think that it is unfair to cite age is irrelevant. In the same way that it was irrelevant to a pandemic virus that has just ripped through exactly those demographics and not healthy 30 year olds.
