The link takes us to another report suggesting a 27% higher death rate among BAME groups in England.
4% of the Scottish population is recorded as one of the non-White ethnic minority groups. 98% of the deaths are registered as ‘White’ so, the mortality rate among non-White groups is lower at only 2% [p18].
Talking-up Scotland

Picture this:–
A vast, threatening army sitting on your borders.
A proposal to offer your social ELITE a “special deal”.
A “Union” your King/Czar has wanted for generations.
The opinion of the populace dismissed.
Ukraine….or Scotland?
Take your time, and take your pick.
