You really should be a politician. Slippier than a fuken slippy thing..... And I'd steer away from 'per head' stats when you're talking about Scotland. Drug abuse, alcoholism, general shit health and violence to name a few.... It's a craaacker.....
the day you say nothing, will be just like any other day... chortle. . chill, you knows i'm just playing the game.
how do you think GDP per capta is calculated? this drink drug and health thing is actually a good example for expressing a need for indi. when do you think scotland gained the reputation it has on these issues? 100 years ago? 200? 300? try 50. around about the mid 70s. all these problems are directly related to poverty. the drugs crissis started in the late 70s, it wasnt actually counted untill 1996, and between then and 2007 when labour lost controle in holyrood(the torys in the 50s) drug deaths grew by 95%. most counciles where labour run untill 2017, they administerd the services to combat these issues. more catagories have been added to the way drug deaths are counted, 10 years of austerity, drug deaths have risen by 55% since 2007 where most are long termers who became addicted decades ago. if we where not paying for tory prorities, these programs could be funded. trickle down ecconomics trickle down ecconom trickle down eccon trickle down trickle trick....
Honestly the drugs issue has been growing enormously in the last 30-40 years? On a worldwide basis. Not sure the blame can be levied at any particular political party as the worldwide nature of this awful problem shows. Drugs , prostitution are two of the biggest trades in the world.
I know mate. I'm sat in a room coming to the end of a 5 day quarantine (with 2 PCR tests) period before I head offshore. I'm just keeping you lefty fekkers honest. I'm sick of doing push ups and I wanked myself dry 2 days back
i'm doing everthing i can to avoide doing this alternatotr and t.belt kit on the mrs car. i'm well up for a distraction.
yip, but its a particular problem in scotland. and if they are gonna use it as a stick to beat us with, best we get to the root of the problem. then deal with it.
i think my observation is backed up by the data that @finm posted the link to. Scotland’s death rate and infection rates are much lower.
BBC Scotland and the Herald keeping you up-to-date if not that informed. 994? Is that bad, better? 60 deaths is clearly terrible but how much? Well, put your thinking cap on: 994 is 161 down from the previous day and 655 down from the peak of 2 649 on the 7th of January. The 7 day average is down for the 22nd day in a row. 60 deaths can never be good but it is the first fall, after a day when registration offices were open, since January 12th. 142 were in intensive care, down 2 and down for the 9th day in a row, from 161 on the 21st January. 1 952 people are in hospital with recently confirmed COVID-19, down 6 and down for the 8th day in a row, from 2 053 on the 22nd. Across the UK, there have been 1 200 deaths and 23 275 new cases. Figures for England alone are not obvious. The UK has 12.5 times the population of Scotland but today had 20 times the deaths and 23 times the new cases.
I live in Ayrshire, but through my work I speak to people all over Scotland and the North of England. normally, I would be out seeing them face to face. I work with life safety systems so have a legitimate reason to travel for work. number of site visits is Scotland = 0 Number is site visits in England = 2 I passed Barnard Castle on my way To one of them and had a quick eye test.
Not been here a few days. Good to see it’s still all about SNP and Finm is making up a whole load of new stats. Great job. And yes I believe you would back something as bigoted as SNP regardless their sheer disdain for the English. SNP is no different to every other Nationalist party. Le Pens would make a good ally
Let’s say that is true. How would you explain most of the English people I know being pro Indy and pro SNP?
aye, thats what it is, so much so the red wallers got fed up whinging, decided thaty this is the best it can ever be and voted tory at the last GE.
