3. Hospital car parking charges are set to end permanently in Scotland.
The Scottish government has struck deals worth £35m to buy out the car parks at Ninewells
Hospital in Dundee and Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Negotiations are also "progressing" to take over the site at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

Well done the SNPs, delivering as promised.

It has indeed. But whisky hasn't.

I think the time has come for a referendum on English Independence, come on Nigel - you are sorely needed!

[anneasquith]

May I , ‘ not for the first time’ say a big thank you to all you English taxpayers for enabling myself and Maggie to continue our excellent lifestyle . I thank you . :-)

[wolf63]

I have never heard of the Scots being called Scotch.

I wonder where Nicola is moving the money from. She hasn't got an endless supply of funds.

[THECORBYLOON]

According to JD, it's "funded by the English taxpayer." so there's only the one, it seems.

To think, a once proud nation reduced to this pitiful state.

//To think, a once proud nation reduced to this pitiful state.//

Aye - it's a sorry day for England! The Scots etc. have their own parliaments/assemblies now. Time to cut them loose & go our own way.

[LeonBlank1995]

But given the Scottish economy is fundamentally based on the tourism of a fictional monster, how long would they last on their own?

[ToraToraTora]

leon, see my link above for as yet unanswered questions on that.

[Redhelen72]

Lol if the English were talked about in such a derogatory manner Tora knickknacks would be in a right twist and he would be screaming anti English!

[Jackdaw33]

Fictitional monster? Alas, La Sturgeon is all too real.

[ToraToraTora]

redhelen: "Lol if the English were talked about in such a derogatory manner " did you read this thread?

[Redhelen72]

No Tora I just decided to write an answer to something I haven’t bothered reading!!!!!

[Spicerack]

Saying that, every government is spending money like a drunken sailor. We should all thank our great grandchildren.

[ToraToraTora]

Redhelen: "No Tora I just decided to write an answer to something I haven’t bothered reading!!!!! " - well that's how it looks. anne and maggie have a pathological hatred of the English yet they seem happy to rely on our money yet at the same time want to leave the UK. Does that not seem a little odd to you?

[gulliver1]

18.51 Now now Helen, dont you go upsetting John Bull , save it for Sat night, the end result could be better.

[lady-janine]

Perhaps all the English tax payers should move to Scotland to take advantage of the freebies.
