Some believe that independence might be good for your health, I don't think so. Scotland has some very serious health problems; we are world leaders in heart disease, strokes, bowel cancer and obesity. To add to this record, our cities have about the worst air pollution in the United Kingdom. Why is this?
It is because our Government shows little interest in health. For example, other British cities have taken positive action over air quality. London introduced congestion charging, a bike hire scheme and electric taxis. Even our Prime Minister takes an interest in his health and goes jogging, I don't see our First Minister following his lead.
