Could you imagine the riots in America if we withheld health care to black people? Or the Hispanic community as the fussy mashers have to the scots???

Scroll down this one and look at the charts and graphs that show how (I'm dropping the term 'Great' from Britian from now on) ..how Britian has kept Scotland under it's thumb, financially, medically, and burdened with unfair taxes..
I live in Wales. Similar accusations are made about the inequalities of the health provision here, but my area doesn't contain the population necessary to support a local hospital. Like in Scotland, if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere then you're not going to get the benefits of city living. Likewise city dwellers have all of that lovely pollution and overcrowding. I know which I'd rather have.
I actually think that inequality is far greater in the US. Remember you're reading something from a socialist source in a socialist led country with an agenda. I'm left l leaning myself but I can still read between the lines. The corporate machine doesn't discriminate. We're all slaves to the elite.
