Mostly the politics of infrastructure and economics. Say something prejudiced if you want blocking. That includes nationalists; even if you're Scottish.

It's not. It's austerity if you're cutting entitlements.

You can do that without it being austerity as long as entitlements don't get cut

Strong finish given a slow start, but I've got to know what happened with word two! Is that orange a letter that wasn't in word one?

It's specifically how privatisation in the US works. It's a symptom of things being priced to be compatible with multiple insurers. It's rare in other countries, even those with insurance based healthcare (private or not)
The hospital would still expect the full amount from the uninsured

Doesn't make it clear here, but I think when the next 6 monthly report comes out we'll find out that it depends at what point the employer got involved
A lot of these people will be working off debt. Brought to the country by the person who paid for their travel. Expect prosecutions for those

Do you?
You do. A lot of noisy people do. But does Scotland?
You're not going to enjoy hearing this from an Englishman - but you don't speak for Scotland

You're right, but I'll make sure there's a rebuttal for others to read before I block him

You think that being born in Scotland is worth more than living there and you think I'm a royalist because I'm English.
Both are wrong and racist

You're complaining to the wrong person. I don't care. I don't like nationalists, I think you're all half an inch from being fascists, but if you want to leave, leave
But to be clear - most Scots tried to remain in the union and the minority wouldn't drop it

It's not in another country. It's the UK parliament. That's the country you're in. It's where the Scottish MPs are.
You've made the same mistake as the bexiteers who thought we were ruled by the Belgiums

I only tend to holiday where there's an airport and a light rail system. Anywhere else would be all week planning journeys or spending as much again on taxis

If the two ports in Norway were Bergen and somewhere quite far up, you've done enough there to get more from the low countries

Having repeated votes until one side gets what they want isn't democracy

Then leave. But stop complaining. No Scottish person has any fewer voting rights than any English person. We're all ruled by Westminster

I'm actually not surprised by that. Might have been a year ago, but since then I've watched Lib Dems vote a few times.
For all the change they say they want, they're extremely conservative (lower case c). Only progressive if they don't have to see it

True but winning doesn't seem to have been a requirement, because Greens didn't take cold water swimming

It's fair
We can't really tell people they should be talking instead of fighting, then refuse to talk with them

Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticised Israeli ministers for extremist rhetoric.
The UK is reviewing arms export licences to Israel.

For those reading (or retweeting) this now, Labour condemned Israel hours after this post

That would carry more weight if it weren't a quite from a known racist (or even made semantic sense)

It's not my responsibility to prove what nationalists post is wrong. Easier to just block you.

The image isn't the source. I want to know your citations (or that you don't have any, and that you like sharing nationalist memes)

Scotland's had the power to borrow money to cover deficit since 1998..it has by law (specifically Scotland Act 1998). You're looking a bit ignorant now.
