Mind you, it would give you another set of "immigrants" to whine about.
Surely even you wouldn't object to the repatronisation of thousands of Jocks Lord.
Canvey makes some excellent points about the unfairness related to England and Scotland. How can it happen? Why should people in England subsidise people in Scotland?
While millions of patients in England will still be expected to pay for vital medication, prescriptions in Scotland will be available free of charge within four years.
The move was cited as the starkest example yet of the "unfairness" of the current funding arrangement, with English taxpayers forced to pay towards improvements to health care and education available only in Scotland.
Scottish residents already have access to free eye care and dental check ups, free personal care for the elderly, extra central heating grants and a number of drugs deemed "too costly" for the National Health Service in England and Wales.
