Narrow minded/ill informed opinion tiem:Don't Scotland already have it pretty sweet?
It seems like they get all the funding and support the rest of the UK get, but then get to make up their own rules
e.g. We all pay the same tax but I have to pay per item on an NHS* prescription but if I went across the border it would be free. For no other reason than that's the decision in Scotland? Then why do we all pay the same taxes?
*Yes, that's another thing that vaguely irks me- we have a free health service but still have to pay for prescriptions and dental work? I know we don't pay for lots of stuff but I still think that's a bit of a cheeky distortion of the term 'free' when what it actually seems to mean is 'discounted' and 'set rates'.

On the other hand, it is quite cold and dark in scotchland, so these things could be considered 'hazard perks'Ahhhh. Scotchland, how I miss its green hilly lochs and deep flowing bannocks.
