Scotland has been the most unhealthy country in the UK for as long as I can remember. In the early 1990s I was acquainted with a couple who ran a care home near Stonehaven. The only vegetables residents would eat were chips. They would eat no green vegetables or salad and they smoked incessantly. They virtually all had health problems associated with diet, smoking and drinking. Few of the survived beyond 70. Poor health is not a recent phenomenon in Scotland.

"We will inherit a share of existing UK defence assets, giving us most of the equipment we need to establish Scotland's defence forces in the immediate post-independence period. The division of assets and liabilities will of course need to be negotiated. However, by way of indication, in 2007 the Ministry of Defence estimated the total value of its assets and investments[260] at just under £93 billion. A Scottish share based on population would be around £7.8 billion."
You beat me to this one, Sticky - especially with the extra funding they get from the Barnett formula - what do they spend the money on - apart from lining the Party coffers....Surely all the Mars Bars eaters and extra druggies don't necessitate the Army being called in though, I guess, there will be plenty of available personnel and carriers if Nicola closes Faslane.
Nothing actually - just thinking about a glass of red with M-Chef on soon. Can't stand a bit of banter at this news, perhaps - but the point about where does the extra dosh go as we don't see it the investments that you have north of Hadrian's down here in Cornwall. Our local NHS hospital system is a disgrace what with the Trust being deemed incapable...(read Treliske, not the cottage hossies like Hayle, St Awful, Penzance or Falmouth).
And, Anne, from one of the lowest rates of covid/100k, we have been the highest in the UK - since (i) Boris's foray on St Ives, Falmouth (and Penryn) and Newquay, numbers beginning to drop now that (ii) the tourists have gone home and (iii) the Boardmasters is over...Newquay and around the airport were running very close to 2000 cases/100k two weeks ago.
Did we get Government assistance or the Army in to help support the emergency services? Simply - NO! (though Devon has now asked for support but not yet given). One law for the Bartletts and one for the rest of us.....
