Scottish and Uk Politics
It also should be noted (not necessarily in this place, but in anti-Indy media) that comparison of Scotland’s statistics today with independence is a false equivalence, because we ain’t independent.

But, of course, the ‘narrative’ is that things will continue to be done in the same way with independence and, without ‘the deep pockets of the UK’ things MUST get worse.
To accept that things can be done differently is to imply that, perhaps, how the Uk is managing things is not as good as it should be, but that is because, as Mr Gavin Williamson says, ‘Britain is better than all these other countries’ – BOZZA! BOZZA !!BOZZA !!! OI!!!! Oi!!!!! OI!!!!!

As G. O. Said
“They” won’t wan’t Scottish voters to be given this information before May’s Holyrood election.
They (Them again) have painted a picture where Trump failed on everything from Covid to NOT starting a war. So they have to stick to the line Covid’s out of control in the US. But it’ll magically be sorted by the UK’s preference Biden.

Was Mr Biden ‘the UK’s preference’?
I suspect that the BBC’s intention is more parochial – to imply that there are places where things have been handled worse than in a country that’s ‘better than all the rest’ (Mr G Williamson)
