In opposition, Attlee promised far reaching reforms, yet in 1945 Britain was near bankrupt. Upon taking office he was told to abolish those reforms. No deterred, what followed is a remarkable story. Labour nationalised industries, and created a national health service.

Apparently Scotland are only getting this money because Anas Sarwar asked her for it Would it not have happened if he hadn't?
And why all the jeering & pointing at the SNP, are they supposed to be grateful to her for giving us some of our own money back?
