That is good to know as I due to come over Oct 5th

And despite view of the UK

Scotland has the virus well under control

So far test track trace and isolate functioning at 98.2% thereby bring all outbreaks to date under control

Unfortunately we can not control our border with England who very soon be in serious trouble

Scotland currently one if the safest  in Europe

And if we were independent just like Norway which is the safest of all in the whole continent with only 267 deaths from the very beginning

Then Scotland no doubt would be in a similar position

Ah but for the incompetence of our neighbours

You say that "Scotland has the virus well under control.  So far test track trace and isolate functioning at 98.2% thereby bring all outbreaks to date under control".   98.2% sounds rather high to me but I would be very impressed if true.

However I sadly think that the whole of the UK is on the verge of a second lock down.  As reported on the BBC website today:

"Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford are also calling for a Cobra meeting.  Ms Sturgeon said the next few days would be "critical" to avoid another full-scale lockdown in Scotland."

It's certainly not a competition between countries.  The virus doesn't respect borders.  It's a worldwide tragedy and we must all do our individual best to halt its spread.

Firstly We are well aware that this very far from being a competition

Secondly i remind you the The BBC are one of the most sophisticated State propaganda machines in the world

And the lead up to the 2014 referendum in Scotland and their reports ever since has woke up us Scots to what and who they are actually are and as way of example to demonstrate such i impart the following info

1.Many up here refer to it as The ABC

A = Absurdistan

2.Scotland has has the highest non payment of licences fee at 18 % and growing Note under Scots law it is almost impossible to prosecute non payers as in order for a contract to be legal money must exchange hands and or that their are 2 independent witness to a verbal agreement to pay 

3. 54 % of Scots do not trust or believe them and when you go to 16 to 32 age group then 92 % Do not either and 84% will not listen or watch it

In the same demographic group 72 % want Indy and 86 % want a Indy ref Now

As for the virus the death rate is 49% higher / capita in England 

The infection rate for last month is almost twice as high in England

And whilst we are at it the death rate in England / capita is 1389 % higher in England than that of Norway

And whilst we are at. The way England behaves and acts as if it is a Imperial master paricuallary with regards Ireland 

Merely hastens the day the Ice cold hands of The Empirical killer places them upon Englands shoulders 

In fact it appears that it invites such hands to be placed around its own neck entirely due to its most recent actions  and words

Yes and thanks and may your day also be fulfilling. 

All things aside England badly needs to wake up fast as to what is actually going on

E.G. the ABC ( BBC  ) Is failing to report properly on English matters and will never reveal the vast disparity between Scotland and England and all as prev.data in my message

They will not tell you this

1.SNHS for Aug in A& E surpassed target of seeing 95 % of patients in 24 hrs

2.Scotrail is the best performing rail franchise in the UK 92.4% OF journeys on time despite UK controlled Network Rail responsible for 58 % of delays

3. The longest new railway  in Europe since WW2 opened on time and on budget and is surpassing passenger journey targets by over 60% 

4. The new train fleet of Hitachis the most reliable train in the world

5.The rrecently completed major infrastructure project the new Queensferry crossing triple span suspension bridge

Considerably below budget and only 3 months late despite abnormal winds experienced at critical stage of works

So much so it has won almost every International awards for infrastructure and bridges and not my words but those of China's top government expert who said

This bridge is a marvelous achievement

And I have serious doubts as to whether China could have performed as well

And the civil engineer in charge of the new bridge at San Francisco where the bridge still not complete and over 3× original budget and 4 yrs over programme

Stated

This major bridge project and having studied it from inception design tender contract award and supervision to completion is a excellent example to all governments as how to conduct major infrastructure projects

I could go on and on but it is not in the political interests of ENGLAND To know what is being achieved in Scotland despite

Having our hands tied behind our backs by 

A immense lack of fiscal powers

And it us little wonder that the SNP have romped home in every single election 

For the last 12 yrs

Hence my call to England Wake up

There are

by far better ways to govern and such is staring you all in the face over your Northern Border

The English people are Lions being led to 

Total bankruptcy and severe Austerity by

A bunch of deluded greedy self interested

Clowns

AWAKEN and open your eyes and ears

If you do then the Lion can roar again

In the interest and benefit of all English citizens and the World shall be a far better place going forward

What has and is happening is without doubt the crime of millenia against you all

Complete and utter nonsense and in every sense coital bovine scatoloy

No doubt you use the Gers figs for your deductions and if you  do then you are by far in the minority of Scots who now have cone to realise that  the Gers figs.are a complete fabrication cleverly designed to paint a completely inaccurate state of affairs

E.G

1 The figs Do NOT inc all capital gains taxes raised thru the production of the Scots economy

2.nor do they allow for the fact that we contribute 11.18 % to Defence but only receive 2 17 % in return spend

3.nor the export/ import tariff for Scotland

4.Many Businesses which mostly operate in Scotland such as Diageo who pay taxes are not attributed to Scotland

5 England has the highest trade deficit in the world

6.Scotland /capita has the 4th highest net trade surplus in the world

7 A very simple example is infrastructure spend/ capita is huge for London and the SE in comparison to Scotland

E.G.Scotland will pay billions for HS 2 and will receive very little in return benifits

Once more i could go on and on but in your case you appear to accept lies falsehoods

And propaganda Whilst i deal solely in Facts and facts alone

Why you may ask

Well facts are reality and it is impossible for anything other than reality to exist

And that my dear fellow well and truly means

END OFF
