Sadly, many Scots don’t seem to realise it, let alone LBC presenters.

And let's not forget all the lovely money that they very kindly borrow on our behalf.where would we Scots be without projects like HS2 or trident, etc etc

indyposterboy.scot•27 days ago

And nor should we forget that that big chunk of our money that they keep to spend ‘on our behalf’ is mostly spent in England where the 1,000s of jobs it creates and £billions it creates do not count as Scottish gdp or tax contribution.

Indeed not.

Why isn't Gulhane being reported to the GMC for lying to the public?

brobb.bsky.social•27 days ago

Because he is expressing an opinion rather than presenting facts? I'm not sure what the GMC could/would do. He's entitled to speak, I just think LBC should be providing an opp for a counter view when political point scoring is involved but then maybe I don't do this when it's another party involved

coby66.bsky.social•27 days ago

I suspect he will be responsible for his behaviour at all times, as it reflects on the reputation of the medical profession. The man's a liar.

2) Who follows up the opinions of particular political figures? It is easy to baffle with large numbers but these can be given context by comparing to the rest of the UK or working out population percentages to work out the scale of the problem

3) It is no secret that both labour and conservative politicians have accepted large donations from private health companies. In Scotland both parties appear desperate to force the SNP to say the NHS is broken - could this be to allow them to push for more private company involvement?

Some context https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2024/05/14/how-privatisation-is-swamping-nhs-england-wales-only/

4) Neither party wants a functioning NHS model on their border allowing comparisons to be made as to which health provision model works best for the people. You would think given recent privatisation failures eg water companies in England that Westminster would change direction, wouldn't you?
