PB- the one reason Labour will not allow English constituent MP’s only to vote is that England is currently a majority conservative country (party with most votes received in England at last election was conservative).
The loss of Scots and Welsh MP’s votes on key issues would virtually guarrantee a hung parliament for England at the very least.
Good innit, we English have to thank the Scots and Welsh for a Labour government!
yes
The Scottish parliament choose to spend their money on healthcare and education in terms of pay and provision BUT Emma and Sharon, looking at the whole picture in healthcare what is their provision on cardiac related support (with the highest rate of coronary heart disease on Western Europe, you;d think they have the best facilities wouldn’t you), the estates infrastructure of hospitals and schools, the level of investment in oncological research (cancer stduy, also a huge killer in Scotland) etc etc etc
I do not deny for a single second that pay for nurses is higher in Scotland but if you take little chunks out of a jigsaw, you dont get the full picture. And I’m not even a Labour supporter ffs.
I dont disagree that Scottish MP’s should not vote on SOLELY English matters in the House of Commons and that will come eventually

The politics show reporter, a Sahjeef yole said “the true overall statistics are unknown, but the figures are merely a fraction of the total number of London’s 200 year involvement in the slave trade, and its reckoned that over that period London grew wealthy from the traficking of over one MILLION AFRICANS“.He emphasised the words “one MILLION AFRICANS…”
Home Office Minister Baroness Scotland said “our real concentration should be on, how do we make sure this never happens again, how do we deal with modern day slavery and how do we change the lives of so many people who are still being victimised by it”.
Modern day slavery?
White people are the badies…
Emma hun, you read too much into things- my view is clear earlier on this issue.
Stating London (and many other cities) grew wealthy during the 17th and 18th century partly due to the slave trade is an historical fact and cannot be denied.
Modern day slavery is about human trafficking (trading many eastern european females into western european brothels) which is rife, the conditions and bonds on mnay workers in China and India which is in effect slavery, the taking of hostages across sub saharan Africa and using them as slaves- I dont see how us whiteys are “baddies” in todays slave society however it is symptomatic of the world we live in that slavery still flourishes, albeit to a much less degree than 200 years ago

Very few cars are in Band G- a lot more are in Band E and F. Not sure how much more they will be paying as everyone keeps mentioning Band G.
It isnt going to go down, thats for sure.

I think I can see where the unfairness is
You see, this is the kind of marxist, anti-English ignorance i hate. “You are bad because you dont help the good cause…”
No Emma- its called checks n balances
You have started a post about how it is wrong to help african kids above others- I simply stated the opposite view- I havent mentioned marxist, anti english etc etc etc, thats your perception-
You portray one view, I portray the opposite. To me, one charity releif programme a year which gives some money to kids other than British seems reasonable to me.
ok, i lied, I’m not new but wondered what it would feel lie just for a few minutes to be pristeen and unabused for a short while
Thanx- feel much better now
