! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
On Monday I pointed out two examples of NHS discrimination in England.
The third example of NHS discrimination this week was announced today – the price of a prescription in England will rise to £7.10 per item.
Meanwhile, in Scotland prescription charges are capped at £5 with 93% being dispensed free of charge. In Wales, all prescriptions are free of charge.
Not only do the English have to pay for their own prescriptions, they have to pay for Scottish and Welsh peoples’ prescriptions as well through the forced multi-billion pound subsidy taken from the English taxpayer under the Barnett Formula.

If you are on benefits you don’t have to worry about prescription costs, If you’re a high earner likewise, but if your just scraping by you can’t even afford to be sick in this country.
