Yea, get the shit bombed out of you. Then you'll lose everything and your government will have no option but to finally get off their arse and publically fund healthcare to avoid their remaining workforce dying out.

The Scots are a violent, savage people. I was attacked there and beaten, and everyone I met on the rest of my week stay regaled me with stories of people they knew who had been similarly brutalized.

Amazingly even more vicious than the English, which hardly seemed possible.
