Dr. Harold Shipman The rotten state ensured that he was free to murder for many years, protected from criticism.
We, the people, are still not free to condemn other killers, who today are still employed, licensed or hold state office warrants.
The most important guarantor of health, wealth and good services for the people of Scotland is to have a free country. A free country is one where the people are free to speak out publicly, to publish and to complain vociferously when some person (like Dr. Harold Shipman) is acting in a way detrimental to our interests and services. However, those running the state do not allow that essential freedom. As a consequence, Scots are sicker, poorer and have worse services than we could have.
It follows therefore that it is precisely the Queen, her ministers, her judges and her other state officers who are doing the most to damage the health, wealth and services of the people of Scotland. The government, the state, its services and its institutions are rotten to the core.
It is only thanks to the perseverance of some talented workers in public services and private enterprise, overcoming state-inspired obstacles and obstructions that the whole country does not grind to a halt and collapse in a complete and utter shambles. Whilst Scotland has imposed upon it a rotten state however, we can only ever get second best.
Second best, indeed sometimes perverse, mismanagement of Scottish universities is what we get. Standards in Scotland cannot be maintained while those in the universities, responsible for the accreditation of others in society, are exempted from criticism themselves. The defamation laws, the courts and the state ensure that whatever is rotten in our institutions is whitewashed, the official "ALL IS WELL" is trumpeted and the critics are silenced by threats and/or imprisonment.
Again Scotland suffers. Some competent people are thwarted in their careers by being unjustly excluded from employment or educational opportunities.
Consequently, society is prevented from fully benefiting from many good students' talents.
On the other hand, some incompetent or abusive people are graduated, employed and promoted in Scotland.
Such persons may have the degree scroll and the graduation photograph but what is that worth? They may appear to be an educated person and may seem to be up to the job. They may look more convincing than a picture of a cuddly toy or a baby posing as a graduate.
However, they are no more worthy of the degree and the job than was Dr. Harold Shipman.
Established incompetents - employed perhaps as principals, professors, doctors or graduates - are dangerous to the Scots.
Today, being a student at a Scottish university is a risky business
