If not Independence then what?
RT @JCWI_UK: This govt's campaign of cruelty against people seeking safety continues. They're now planning to send people to a centre that's been the site of self harm, hunger strikes & the unjust detention of 1000s.
People need safety & community, not prison camps.

Why not Scotland?

@RangersJim @zepp4321 @thenameismclean @ajwillshire In Scotland, it’s free, in fact it is also free in Northern Ireland and in Wales.
Priorities…

@LewyHughey @alimacno @ajwillshire Sure and the situation is getting worse despite Scotland paying more than down South. We have our 2 hands tied behind our back.

@zepp4321 @thenameismclean @ajwillshire England is privatising the NHS while we reversed the privatisation that Labour started here.
England pay for prescription charges, we chose not to.
In Scotland, NHS eye tests are free of charge, they are not in the rest of the UK.
We already made those choices, this is our model.

@zepp4321 @thenameismclean @ajwillshire Non, we have an NHS in Scotland, in fact the first thing we did when we came to power was to take back Stracathro Hospital into public hands.
And we are choosing to pay our nurses more than south of the border.
As for tax level, it’s about choice too: https://theferret.scot/scotland-highest-tax-uk-mostly-false/

@ajwillshire I did, in fact we are doing this every day at the Scottish Parliament from choosing to pay our nurses more, to set up a Social Security model to help folk and not to sanction them, and to mitigate the austerity coming from Westminster within our set budget.
We can do much more.

@ajwillshire I already said that an Independent Scotland will move to our own model. Does this make me completely right?

@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?
