"Scots must wake up to the looming danger of an English Labour government that promises to rule us from Westminster with an iron fist, sell off our NHS, continue to steal our resources and deny us our right to self-determination" wrote Leah.

They don't need to go that far, though, to undermine the NHS (and everything else) in Scotland, Wales & N Ireland. Their increased privatisation of the NHS in England means significantly less government spending overall in England, which automatically results in reductions in the Block Grants which finance the public expenditure plans of devolved governments. Devolution was designed to fail and we all have to waken up to this fact before it's too late. They can cripple us wthout being so openly confrontational. The only way Scotland can survive as the nation we want is through independence.

Party Politicians are the problem, all of them. I would love to see 59 independents stand in Scotland, I would even sponsor one!

TAX THE FUCKING RICH. (I decided not to call for eating them.) Inequality is the essential root of all our ills, and until that is addressed nothing will change. Grrrr :-(
