gordons north south divide

sorry ruby red i realy didnt intend to offend anyone north of the border as i said but if you google government facts. or look on newspaper websites the facts are there. my neice is heavily involved in the student union scene and she herself told me that uni students in scotland dont pay uni top up fees the same as they do here in england. i read the papers on line daily and have seen for myself that scool meals are free. [or does the express and the mail lie] thats possible i supose. i dont begrudge anyone recieving free anything from the government but it should be the same uk wide. dont you agree ? the post code lottery for cancer drugs does not apply in scotland. and i know this to be so as my aunt has cancer and m.s she was refused drugs on the basis that they are too expensive, and the same drugs are available for all in scotland. ? so if you think im talking shyte :wink: i assure you it was not done in a derogatory way. i have no relatives with children at schol in scotland, but i got that from watching question time where hazel blears was asked why it was so. and she replied that it was the case, and that the government were planning to “roll the same service across the uk” so either she lied or i was hearing things. once again ruby no offence meant to the good folks north of the border, but its a fair point you make if im wrong. please feel free to prove me wrong about any of the facts pet and ill hold me hands up to it.. or you can shoot my new little kitten if you want. :? :shock: :?
