  10. The so called more powers from the front page of the record: Promises Guarantee One ❱❱ New powers for the Scottish Parliament. Well, what are they?? Where are they written down. Where is the press release on the UK Govt web site. A picture of a scroll in the Daily Record. That's it?? ❱❱ Holyrood will be strengthened with extensive new powers, on a timetable beginning on September 19, with legislation in 2015. WHAT ARE THESE POWERS?? See above ❱❱ The Scottish Parliament will be a permanent and irreversible part of the British constitution. Westminster Parliament is sovereign. They can repeal anything they want. Guarantee Two ❱❱ The guarantee of fairness to Scotland. Whit. Shouldn't that have been the case for the last 300 years. A clear admission that it hasn't been fair to Scotland. ❱❱ The guarantee that the modern purpose of the Union is to ensure opportunity and security by pooling and sharing our resources equitably for our defence, prosperity and the social and economic welfare of every citizen, including through UK pensions and UK funding of healthcare. Means absolutely fukkall Guarantee Three ❱❱ The power to spend more on the NHS if that is Scottish people’s will. We can do that now if we want, out of our real terms DECREASING block grant ❱❱ The guarantee that with the continued Barnett allocation, based on need and with the power to raise its own funds, the final decisions on spending on public services in Scotland, including on the NHS, will be made by the Scottish Parliament. 1. Our share is determined on what public spending is in england. If it goes up, our share goes up. If it goes down, our share goes down. 2 Why would be want to invoke the special tax raising powers? Why would anyone want to be taxed twice? We gain nothing from that. 3. Of course final spending decisions will be made by us, out of our block grant so nicely provided to us. ❱❱ The Scottish Parliament will have the last word on how much is spent on health. It will have the power to keep the NHS in public hands and the capacity to protect it. Obviously we will decide how much is spent on the NHS but we don't control how much money we have in the first place to spend on it. We won't have the power to keep it in public hands because uk have signed up to TTIP without exempting the NHS. What private company is going to subsidise services to the remotest parts of Scotland? Private companies don't generally run a business at a loss. Let me ask you this: How much does it cost to have an eye test in Scotland? Nothing In England it's anywhere from £15 - £30 That £15 - £30 doesn't go back to the NHS, it goes to specsavers or boots or whoever. So the NHS doesn't have to fund it. Which bit will be next? A fee to see your GP? This is the crux of the privatisation matter, paying twice for basic health care.
  11. There's nothing in that 'vow' that we don't already know. Apart maybe the bit about Holyrood being permanent. Extensive new powers you say? Where are they, what are they? It will be what has already been announced by broon. Basically fuckall
  12. Shorthouse: "The campaign pays my mortgage. That's all I want to say."
