Difference in leaders quite clear

How come I have to pay £6.85 for my prescription when my Welsh neighbours get their prescriptions for free?

How come I have to pay £6.85 for my prescription when my Welsh neighbours get their prescriptions for free?

Why, it's because they have their own parliament, but we English are governed by the UK parliament at Westminster, where Scots ministers, elected in Scotland, but having no say in the Scottish parliament, help dictate policy for a government that wasn't re-elected by English voters.

Whatever happened to diversity and equality?

England may not have its own parliament because the EU wants it split into 13 self- governing regions, devoid of a national identity.

So, until then, we shall just have to continue paying through the nose for failing services while our neighbours in the EU take us for the mugs that we are and our nearer neighbours enjoy good self-government.
