Only 31.8% in 4 hours? In Europe? No...
From Public Health Scotland today, for September 2022:
69% of attendances at A&E services were seen and resulted in a subsequent admission, transfer or discharge within 4 hours.
For the same month in England, the figure was 56.9%.
NHS Scotland has thus performed 21.3% better.
Remember, it’s not just 21.3%. That means thousands more seen within 4 hours in Scotland than if they’d been treated in England and hundreds of thousands more waiting more than 4 hours in England than if they’d been treated in Scotland.
In Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, a staggering only 31.8% were seen in 4 hours. The areas has 3 Labour and 1 Con MP (IDS).
Scotland’s worst performing board, Lanarkshire, saw 56.7% in 4 hours.
Who praised Humza Yousaf? We did.
Talking-up Scotland 
Wonder why Little England
Does not blow their own trumpet with regards these matters
Since Truss and her fiscal suicide
The Trumpet has gone ominously silent of late
Many a tune was played in the not too distant past like
Best in The World
Leading the World
World Class
Sunny uplands
Green pastures
Highest growth in G20
Easy trade deals
Wonderful opportunities
British Fish are Happy
The Best country in the World
Levelling Up
On and on the song book went
But if you study history all this is symptomatic of the
Coital Bovine Scatology that leaders of former great empires spew out as final ignominious collaspe
Stares them in the face
” The End is Nigh ”
That truly is the only song sheet now available for them now as they scramble
For new Tunes
All unbelievably akin to Hitler last few weeks in the Bunker

You missed “The 5th Biggest Economy in the World” possibly for the obvious reason the vast majority of us don’t get a sniff at that wealth. We must also be in the Top 5 for foodbanks. For reasons I’ve never understood, we’re also at the bottom of the league for revolutions. Coincidence?

Ah but the will never tell you these facts
GDP /Capita 38th Ireland 4th
Worst trade deficit in the World
Purchasing power of average salary 68th in The World
Ireland 58 % richer
Next year Poland will be richer
On current Trends in next 3 yrs UK will be the poorer
Than the EU 27 members
I could fill a library as to how UK decline is now in terminal velocity stage
The UK by any measure is well and truly bankrupt now
Truss forced World markets to view and apply
New criteria to UK fiscal affairs now and for ever so
No longer does the history of honouring debts apply
But now main criteria is
GDP growth
Balance sheet liabilities / assets
Productivity
Trade deficit
Then ability to improve such
Quite simply now UK on negative credit rating
Which in reality can never improve but only progress to being rated as JUNK
Ah but somehow they shall manage to portray such as
” The Best Junk in the World “

STV news is becoming as selective as BBC Misreporting Scotland with its description of A+E waiting times . Last night they highlighted the 4 worst examples from around Scotland and followed this up with a deeply biased comment from a rep. of the BMA .
No attempt was made to give the national picture nor a comparison with comparable A+E depts in England or Wales , therefore deliberately suggesting that only Scotland’s A+Es were under pressure .
This was editorial choice to select one negative aspect of the A+E stats rather than giving the overall figures for each Health Board or the National figures , which painted a much more optimistic picture of the NHS’s performance .

I watched STV news this evening. More on A&E and delayed discharge.
I estimate that the addition of A SINGLE SENTENCE of fewer than ten words would have given STV viewers information both for perspective and some reassurance – A&E waiting times in England, NI and Wales worse. Even ‘similarly challenged’ would have been appropriate.
But no – no context, no perspective, no comparisons, no reassurance, and therefore none of the readily available evidence that the NHS in Scotland and the Scottish Government are together with their peers across the UK facing severe problems.
Isn’t it hard for folk in Scotland to be confident that we’re ‘better together’ in the UK when the media opt NOT to tell us how those we’re ‘together with’ are getting on!!!

It seems social media is today consumed by ‘War torn’ (YES) city of Dundee with ‘widespread?’ riots to be bothered about our superior NHS. Yes small bands of kids throwing firewords with two cars suffering minor damage apparently causing ‘huge concern’ amongst the local Unionist MSP. According to reports you would think that Dundee City centre had been brought to a standstill from rampaging hords but in fact sounds more like a good night out in Brighton. In fact the ‘riots?’ were confined to the Kirkton area of Dundee which has over many decades been known as one of the City’s less affluent parts. (no disrespect to the locals)
You see the Unionist media will always find something to complain about if they look hard enough ensuring everyone continues to falsely believe Scotland is a hell hole under the SNP.

Just wait till it all kicks off in England as the Disadvantaged wake up to the con of Brexit and the empty rhetoric of Levining Up
It is pile of tinder dry resentment awaiting a spark
