There have always been four NHS's since the inception in 1948. There are many common factors amongst them, but there are also significant differences. In the main the experiences of those of us who live in Scotland of NHS Scotland are generally better than those in the other three countries. Such nuanced differences tend to get smothered in such surveys. There are similar issues on questions regarding education and Law and Order.Alasdairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470283131056673377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-33114071066723591172017-01-13T13:31:59.677+00:002017-01-13T13:31:59.677+00:00The Leave campaign's thing about furriners and...The Leave campaign's thing about furriners and immigrants "overloading" the NHS was always a piece of crap - it's furriners and immigrants who make up a large part of the NHS workforce, in both England and Scotland (and Wales and NI, of course).

Europe did help put through quite a few advances in civil and human rights - working time directives and so on - and always supported the (independent) European Court of Human Rights, whose judgments have led over time to significant improvements in our civil and human rights and freedoms. This is, of course, why Ms. May wants to get rid of the lot of them.<br /><br />Then Thatcher came along and handbagged the hell out of all of us, of course, and demanding sweeties for "England" if the Europeans didn't want us to leave. And the miners' strike, and the poll tax... I notice that Farage and Coburn are still trousering their European salaries, by the way, even though I don't think they're bothering to attend at all now. A very good example of pockets being lined with taxpayers' money, I suppose.ejfjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154337168320710486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-84263024239228932082017-01-13T13:13:48.092+00:002017-01-13T13:13:48.092+00:00The right to control your own borders and immigrat...The right to control your own borders and immigration does not mean no immigration.
