Scotland needs to rejoin Europe ASAP

@zackpolanski.bsky.social And for those of us vaccinating, we are being heavily ripped off on Covid vaccines. I paid £95 for my last vaccine. #RipOffBritain
I had several Covid vaccines in France as a foreigner. Payed 10.60€ for a shot.

Why do we allow ourselves to be ripped off here by anyone supplying us with our fvcking basic living needs?
We are paying massively more for housing (buying or renting), for food, utilities and fuel for our cars.
They just wouldn’t put up with this shit in Europe, would they?

Those calling for state pension cut are silent on their tax perks.
Gross tax relief on pension contributions £83.9bn.
14% went to 1.1m additional rate tax payers.
57% to 6.6m higher rate (40%) payers.
29% went to 30.4m basic rate (20%) payers.
Equalizing it at 20% for all leaves £14.5bn spare.

In the Children's Care sector, private providers charge the state an average of £384,020 per child / year. It's an absolute goldmine for unscrupulous investors to profit from housing vulnerable children.
We want England to follow the example set by Wales, & remove profit from children's services.

Nice to see the supermarkets’ record profits being used on all those A-list celebrity fees for their Christmas ads. If you can afford Keira Knightly or Dawn French, you can afford to knock a few pence off your spuds 🙄

Argues against costly investments in the UK’s power grid.
Does he know what havoc blackouts would cause?
People would accept end to profiteering.
Nationalise energy so that profits go to infrastructure, not shareholders.
