Have you never heard of the The RBS and the cock up that surrounds it … and you say they manage things better than the English, open your eyes my dear and stop taking on board the bullshit..
She certainly does talk a lot of unresearched bullshit.

So they manage the Barnett Formula better than the English (who receive nothing in that respect), do they Annie?

Yes with the help of the Barnett formula and the English that so generously dish it out to the scots.

Still going strong and, in fact, still discovering more.

Try looking at the flag, virtually the whole of the Saltire is there but only some of the St Georges cross. There's no blue in the St George cross.

Manage what better exactly?

I live in Scotland and there is not one single, important aspect of life that the Scottish Government manages better than anywhere else.

The economy is growing more slowly than rUK
Education has gone down the pan.( really poor results for working class kids)
Health is a disaster zone of low recruitment, low morale, failing hospitals doctor/nurse shortages(Kids dying from pigeon fungus)
The road network is worse than most 3rd world countries.
The social housing stock is poorly built and poorly maintained.
There is really poor public transport systems outwith the central belt.
Local Authorities are hamstrung by Holyrood directives preventing them raising Council Tax and thereby improving the really awful standard of local services.

Scotland is a dirty country, with poor roads/transport links and a stagnant economy and a Govt stuck in a Groundhog day scenario of permanaant Independence navel gazing.

Free prescription yes..........but that only helps the middle classes

Free Tuition fees yes............but ,again, that only helps the middle classes

Scotland is in a bit of a mess Annie.......
