I member this song <| sep |> Left complains trump won ' t accept results , left loses , left spends next four years bitching about how they won and never accept the results of the election , the format of which WAS KNOWN PRIOR TO THE ELECTION . GET OVER IT . GROW UP <| sep |> His syndrome is down but his hopes are high . <| sep |> I am so , so sorry . I hope you are able to remember every happy memory you had with your kid and find happiness there . I am here for you . Have a virtual hug , a long one . 3 <| sep |> Whilst I ' m genuinely thrilled that Scotland is pushing ahead with progressive policies and ideas , there is something slightly irritating about the fact that the money to pay for this new UBI would likely come from money ' redistributed ' from the rest of the UK mainly Southern England . If they could guarantee that money will purely come out of Scottish income tax and corporate tax , that ' d be a different matter . But it doesn ' t work that way it ' s not how the Barnett Formula works . Whenever someone complains about people in benefits and refugees getting a house and money for free while the rest of us pay for it , my grandad will always say , ' ah , but would you swap places with them ? ' Generally , I ' d say ' no ' something has to have gone fairly wrong to be in a position where you ' re supported by the state , and you ' re unlikely to be building up a legacy to pass on . But in this case , actually , yes I would swap with a Scot . They get double parliamentary representation , more public spending per capita than someone from an equallypoor English region , and a more generous welfare system . And they still complain that they ' re ignored ! I don ' t think the Scots really appreciate how skewed the system is toward them compared with , say , the North East or Yorkshire but we don ' t have someone to give us a focussed , unified voice . A cynical part of me thinks the Tories broke up Yorkshire into 4 parts to stop us unifying politically . Had we remained one unit , we might have had our own devolved assembly and executive by now , and the Thatcherite policies of the 80 ' s could have been heavily mitigated .
