@ajwillshire We are already paying our nurses more in Scotland than down south, it’s about priorities.
There are no fairy godmothers in Denmark, there we have an independent country of just under 6 million people within the EU that can achieve this.
If not Independence then what?

One is a union of equals we want to rejoin, the other is not.

@ajwillshire You keep on wanting an Independent Scotland to operate like if it was still within the UK, it won’t.
We will move to our own model away from the UK model and closer to our Scandinavian and Irish neighbours, within the EU, wealthier and fairer.

@ajwillshire The average after-tax salary is enough to cover living expenses for 2 months in Denmark compared to 1.5 months in the United Kingdom.

The Czech Republic, a country of 10 million people, originally part of Czechoslovakia and since 1993 an Independent state, joined the European Union in 2004, is now leading the EU.

@thenameismclean @ajwillshire That’s Brexit you are describing, the UK government is stopping nurses coming here while refusing to pay nurses down south what we are paying them in Scotland.
Thank you for backing my point.

@ajwillshire We are starting by having and keeping our NHS with nurses having a better pay than our closest neighbour.
Did you say Denmark?
