I myself lived in England from the age of 5-20 and couldn't wait to be able to move back here. We moved as my Dad got offered a very good job.

Also no one is deserting Scotland, England is part of the UK so its not really a foreign country like Spain of France is. They are still Scottish and can return at anytime so should still have a say in what happens to their place of birth.

After all their passports list their nationality as British.

I agree with what you say, My son had to move because there was no work here, he would come back in a minute. He certainly does not want independence .

It may have GB and NI on it but the main word at the top of everyone's passport is EU.

In fairness Scotland gets money from the Scottish tax payer too. It's the same with Wales. Although we do appreciate your contribution towards our free prescriptions for all

**Chris** · 31-01-2014, 15:48

You're welcome. Labour has wrecked the NHS so badly in Wales you need free prescriptions by way of compensation.

Russ · 31-01-2014, 15:51

Works for us

If only ignore list worked for quotes as well then i'd never need to read drivel again from someone trying so hard to be scottish and failing miserably.

True

Still, the more people who just ignore, the less quoted drivel there is and the better the result. Trolls hate just being ignored.

Scant consolation I'd say especially as:

"In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free."

No Scotland means no Great Britain, so I suppose it could be the United Kingdom of England* and Northern Ireland.

Compared to 100% with us

A lot of people were put off getting prescriptions due to the price and not knowing if they qualified for not paying for them. When they became free more people had their meds, more people got better. Job done!

Welsh 'toffs' getting free prescriptions must make the poor in Wales feel a lot better.

I Prefer the English version where those who can easily afford to pay do and the rest don't.

Fractional United Kingdom. They'd have to take inspiration from Hyacinth Bucket on the pronunciation of the abbreviation though :p

I think UK should be renamed 'England with Knobs on'.
