I did type something very smutty but managed to restrain myself from posting. I must be finally growing up or something...

Shame.
This thread could have used a laugh.

I take it you missed the Independent England poll then.

Though I say so myself I do like the idea of EWNI having a referendum and becoming independent from the UK - and with leaving the UK, EWNI leave the EU - as desired by the EWNI electorate. Meanwhile Scotland is left all on it's lonesome in the UK; hence becomes the Westminster government and can abandon Brexit - and so Scotland stays in the EU, sorted!

This sounds a little bit like the PM's cunning plan.

I see Ms Jimmy is squirming today at her part in bringing the Scottish NHS to it's knees.

Well - my experience of NHS Scotland is that it provides an excellent service - and anecdotally I spoke with a 70yr old Glasgow resident of 4yrs - having moved from Lincolnshire. Her experience was that NHS Scotland is streets ahead of NHS England. No comparison she said.

Is it stupid? If you are in a club you can either choose to leave or the other members can kick you out. It depends on the rule book of the club.

It is mischief making. Whoever started that off clearly had a glint in their eye.

When you reads lots of casual racism comments along the lines of kick them out or get rid of them then yes it is stupid.

It's not the treatment that's the problem it's the rigmarole you have to go through to eventually get someone who might tell if you need treatment or not.

No joke, I called for an appointment to get my tennis elbow looked at, you have to call between a 2 hour window which I did, I got an engaged tone 113 times till I got it ringing, I then went in a queue for 23 minutes and eventually got through. I was given an appointment for 4.15pm and was seen by the GP at 5.30pm. That is a shambles and indicative of many surgeries in my area.

Doesn't sound that different to my experience of booking GP appointments down south.

Does she go down the same pub your mates go to that give you all the other duff info.

Seriously though, prior to moving across to our Oil and Gas division I managed our healthcare team in Scotland for many years. It was an absolute gem of an example of how the NHS should be run.

The mgt now is lacking control. Without a doubt frontline acute care is excellent but the finances are a mess and have been for about 4 years. Haven't a clue if that ties in with the SNP getting control...

I told you it was anecdotal - and the point was more the comparison that she made with NHS England, as both she and her 80yr old husband had experience of both.

Nope - she was unloading her car outside her home in Dowanhill in Glasgow - and I just stopped for a chat about living in the area - 45mins later I had much of her life story

Bit harsh that.......likening Chewbacca to Sturgeon, and I don't think Hans Solo will be too pleased either

Sorry - really not funny - and actually just rather childish and insulting to the Scottish parliament and Scottish electorate.

Whether it's funny or not is down to individual sense of humour (made me smile).

I'd love to know why this is insulting to the Scottish electorate though and the parliament (outside of Ms Sturgeon herself)!?

 

[ColchesterFC]

Go on then I'll bite, how is it insulting to the Scottish parliament and Scottish electorate?

And why is it that you can post whatever you like about May, Cameron, Farage, Trump etc but as soon as someone puts up a light hearted mickey take of Queen Nicola you climb up on your high horse?
