Drug deaths in Scotland

I'm no expert on narcotics, but good ideas are good ideas.

Trying to remain apolitical and can only speak for Wales, but we have some policy here predicated by a need to demonstrate separation, rather than a positive outcome.

People giving negative comments on the BBC about Scotland's different tax system without having the slightest idea of how it works.

To make it simple, a Squaddie will pay less tax whilst based in Scotland whereas a Major will pay more.
Generally speaking an army has more Squaddies than Majors.

Not sure what the point is here, but the military have a 'Scottish tax' allowance so those posted to Scotland pay the same tax as those stationed in the rest of the UK.

Yes apologies
Not sure how my post ended up in this thread ?
I was desperately trying not to make this political.
The TV guest used the Squaddie comment in regard to them paying more tax when based in Scotland. [Clearly not the case]
I remember from previous posts that The Army use a system to make sure their higher earners do not pay more tax when based in Scotland
Not sure if they allow their lower earners to pay less tax though.

The young lady who, at 0645 this morning, flashed me to get out of L3 of the M4, and then flew into L4 in a fit of rage, gesticulating wildly that I needed to move over - she obviously couldn’t see the lorry in L2 that I was alongside, which was overtaking a lorry in L1…. I laughed at her as it was so ridiculous, that turned to an irritation, (ok, maybe more than an irritation) when she cut up the car in from as they indicated to pull back in, and then break tested them!

I got slightly more irritated as she sarcastically clapped as we all pulled into L1 as we finished passing each other, she then drove up behind another vehicle and just sat behind them in L2 until I left the motorway.

Utterly bizarre.

No idea! I’ve never ever opened this thread, it should have been in random irritations, I have deleted.
