Scotland’s basket case economy is WORSE than Greece – and rest of UK funds cash black hole, by Leda Reynolds.

Scotland offers its students free university places, free personal care for needy over 65s and free prescriptions.

By contrast, students in England have to pay tuition fees, elderly care is means-tested and prescriptions cost £8.40

What an excellent reason for Scottish independence.
