Why not biojwb?

Scotland's say in world affairs may not be so far away. In fact Scotland's independence looms ever closer thanks to misrule and misgovernment by the Labour Party.

Add to this all the other benefits, in Scotland council tax has been frozen for the next three years and is ultimately to be abolished. It will be replaced by a local council tax based on people's ability to pay. In England, council tax will continue to rise. Since Labour came into power it has already increased by 60%. How much higher are you prepared to accept?

As of next year in Scotland small business rates are to be abolished for businesses paying under £8000.00 and up to a 50% reduction for those paying over that sum.

Add to all this; free prescriptions, free personal care for the elderly, free education, free travel anywhere in the country for pensioners etc.

The Edinburgh Government prioritises it's spending differently from Westminster. Westminster prefers to invest it's money posturing on the world's stage. Edinburgh prefers to invest in Scotland's people.
