The same problems, with the same causes, are happening all over the western world. This idea that we all coincidentally face the same issues, but they're completely unrelated, is farcical. Our elites are globalised, so our response cannot be localised.

We have a collapsing healthcare, underfunded police force, rapid increase of homeless. Crime increasing.

Not unique to Scotland.

The police force is spared thin.

Not unique to Scotland.

If your not from the UK get off your armchair, stop reporting he-say-she-says articles from bias tabloids and see for yourself if your going to argue.

The police receive more funding than they used to. The numbers are there.

And again... this is not unique to Scotland.

The money they received doesn't account for the inflation, system costs et cetera.

They may of got more money but monetary value is a lot less. So yes, an increase in sum, but less in value.

Scotland is more less off than the UK. Scotland is UKs dragging ground and always the first to get cuts, that and wales too.
