Bill Aitken is a 60-year-old single MSP for the Scottish Conservative party. He was educated at Allan Glen's School in Glasgow and enjoys sports, especially football. He has held various roles in the insurance industry, as a Glasgow city councillor, and as a district court judge. He believes the Conservatives have an excellent chance of winning the next UK general election and that Scotland winning the Commonwealth Games will greatly benefit Glasgow. He also thinks it is time to consider increasing the powers of the Scottish parliament from Westminster and that a Scottish Conservative government would tackle youth crime, which often has young people as victims.

Talking About My Generation
The document discusses the aging Baby Boomer generation in the UK and challenges they will face as they require more support from the health and social care system. It notes that by 2032, almost all Baby Boomers will have at least one serious health condition. However, the current system is ill-equipped to handle the increased demand, due to underfunding from successive governments not investing in public services. The aging population will find a system already at the brink of collapse that cannot meet their end of life care needs.

Scotland's Future
This document provides a guide to an independent Scotland, outlining the case for independence and what independence would mean. It argues that independence would mean decisions about Scotland being made by those who live and work in Scotland through an elected Scottish parliament. The guide also sets out how an independent Scotland could have its own economic, taxation and social policies tailored to Scottish needs and priorities.
The case for a United Kingdom
The document is a speech by Alistair Darling, leader of the Better Together campaign, arguing for Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom. Darling argues that being part of the larger UK economy provides economic security and opportunities that independence could jeopardize. He also argues that Scottish identity is intertwined with British identity, and that devolution has safeguarded Scottish interests while preserving its identity within the UK. Finally, Darling asserts that the economic and social union between Scotland and the rest of the UK benefits both Scotland and its people.
Scotland's Future
The document is a guide to an independent Scotland published by the Scottish Government. It aims to answer questions about what independence would mean. It outlines that independence would mean Scotland has full control over key decisions regarding its economy, taxation, welfare and place in the world. It argues this will allow Scotland to realize its potential and build a fairer and more prosperous country. The guide discusses specific policy areas and the opportunities that would come from Scotland taking responsibility for these areas.
Darling Salmond Article

Liburu zuriaren laburpena - Eskoziako independentzia
This document provides a summary of the key points regarding Scotland gaining independence. It argues that independence would allow Scotland to have a government that is directly elected by the Scottish people and would always act in Scotland's interests. Key decisions about Scotland's economy, society and future would be made within Scotland rather than by the UK government. Independence could deliver benefits such as keeping public services public, tailoring economic policy to Scotland's strengths, and investing Scotland's oil wealth for future generations. The document outlines some specific policy gains that could be achieved if independence is approved, such as expanding childcare and protecting pension incomes. Overall, the summary argues that independence would allow Scotland to achieve its full potential and have a society that better reflects the priorities and values
effect of gangs
Glasgow was branded the murder capital of western Europe due to high murder rates, with more than 170 gangs in the city and stabbings accounting for half of all murders in Scotland. Most deadly attacks in Glasgow are fueled by alcohol or drugs and involve stabbings, typically carried out by males aged 16 to 29 who know the victim. Crime rates in Glasgow are also higher than in New York City.
Gangs 3
Gangs engage in vandalism like graffiti by writing their names and tags on buildings. They also engage in violent crimes, especially in Scotland where knife attacks are common. Joining a gang means expected to fight with other gangs, which can result in injury or death. Gangs use social media and phones to organize fights with rival gangs.
Gangs 2
Gangs engage in antisocial and destructive behaviors like vandalism, fighting, and drug and alcohol abuse that negatively impact communities. Their activities destroy the local environment, scare residents who don't feel safe, and influence younger people to join gangs. Gangs organize fights through social media and when members are under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Their violence places a financial burden on health services and leaves families heartbroken by deaths from gang attacks.
Gangs
1. Gangs in Scotland typically use knives rather than guns in fights, and alcohol is usually involved in starting rivalries between gangs. Common drinks include Buckfast, cider, vodka, and cheap drinks.
2. The term "Ned" refers to stereotypical young working class males who engage in anti-social behavior like hooliganism, drinking, and petty crime. However, not all youths wearing tracksuits or Burberry should be labeled as such.
3. The most deprived areas in Scotland according to statistics are located in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with Glasgow having the highest rates of child poverty.
Crime 1
The document discusses several factors that contribute to gang violence and anti-social behavior in neighborhoods. It notes that gangs fight due to influences like alcohol, drugs, boredom, and seeking adrenaline rushes. They mark their territory through vandalism and graffiti with their gang logos. Older gang members encourage younger ones, perpetuating fighting across generations. Gangs communicate through websites, phone calls, texts, and chat rooms to organize fights. Their behavior stresses local residents, with one woman moving due to issues caused by youths in her area. Potential solutions proposed include creating youth clubs, more education, facilities, and increased police patrols.
Pass Modern Studies Higher
The document provides guidance for students taking the Modern Studies exam in Scotland. It outlines the format, timing, and requirements for Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 involves answering questions from different sections and choosing between two response models. Paper 2 involves a decision-making exercise using three sources of information. The document provides sample essay titles and advice on preparing responses, including using evidence, maintaining focus on the question, and time management. It emphasizes the importance of planning, using sources effectively, and demonstrating balanced analysis in Paper 2.
DME
The document provides guidance on how to tackle the Decision-Making Exercise (DME), which makes up Paper 2 of the Higher Grade exam. The DME tests the ability to evaluate complex source materials and make a decision. It has two parts: 1) answering evaluating questions about 3 sources and 2) writing a report to advise on a course of action using evidence from the sources. The summary focuses on the key steps for each part, including spending 20 minutes on part 1 and 55 minutes on planning and writing the report. Sources should be cross-referenced and background knowledge included to support the decision. Common mistakes to avoid are also outlined.
Health & Wealth
The document discusses several aspects of the UK healthcare system, including:
1) The NHS is publicly funded through national insurance, income tax and charges. It provides universal coverage for primary care through general practitioners and hospitals.
2) Private health insurance covers around 10 million people and provides an alternative to the NHS, but some argue it creates inequality and impacts the NHS.
3) There are inequalities in health outcomes based on factors like socioeconomic class, geography, gender and ethnicity. Improving lifestyle choices could help reduce these inequalities.
4) Community care aims to allow the elderly to remain independent at home but is underfunded and standards of care homes vary, while informal carers receive little support.
Health Inequalities
There are many factors that influence health inequalities in the UK, including geographical area, racial group, gender, and social class, with social class having a strong link to poverty. While health has improved overall, gaps between higher and lower social classes persist and may be widening. Approaches to solving health inequalities debate whether the focus should be on collective government action to address root social and economic causes, or more individualistic approaches emphasizing personal responsibility and lifestyle changes. Current thinking in the UK and Scotland incorporates elements of both, with a greater emphasis on prevention through social inclusion and poverty reduction policies.
Original aims of the NHS
The original aims of the UK's National Health Service were to provide universal healthcare that was free at the point of use, financed collectively through taxes and national insurance, and comprehensive from cradle to grave. While the NHS has increased life expectancy and access to services, it has only partially achieved its aims as regional differences remain, social class gaps in health persist, and waiting lists require prioritizing access to care.
Health & Social Class
The document discusses how social class is related to health in the UK, with three main points. Wealthier people tend to have better health due to factors like education, lifestyle, and living environment. Lower social classes have less access to healthy, nutritious foods and are more likely to develop cancer and other diseases from occupational hazards or unhealthy behaviors. Geography also plays a role, as those living in more impoverished areas face greater health risks. Overall, the data shows that people in lower social classes in the UK are much more likely to suffer from poor health outcomes.
Inequalities - Health Care Provision
There are significant inequalities in health outcomes and healthcare spending across different regions of the UK. Mortality rates are highest in Scotland, yet Scotland receives the highest funding per capita for healthcare. However, more funding does not necessarily correlate with better health outcomes, as areas within countries also show inequalities. Factors like deprivation, rurality, and access to services may better explain the health differences between regions.
Inequalities in health - social class
1) Numerous studies over many years have found a link between socioeconomic status and health inequalities in the UK, with those in lower social classes experiencing worse health outcomes.
2) The Black Report of 1980 and subsequent reports like the Acheson Report of 1998 found that factors like low income, unemployment, poor housing and education were key causes of health inequalities and that the gap between social classes was widening.
3) These reports recommended policies to reduce poverty and increase spending on health education to prevent illness, but UK governments were often critical of the findings and reluctant to implement the recommendations.
Inequalities in health - lifestyle
Lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise have a significant effect on health. Poor diet and lack of exercise are the main causes of rising obesity levels in the UK, where over half of adults are overweight. Obesity rates are higher among lower social classes and have increased health costs. Improving diet and increasing exercise levels are important for addressing health inequalities.

Obesity rates are higher among lower social classes and have increased health costs. Improving diet and increasing exercise levels are important for addressing health inequalities.
Inequalities in health care
The report studied health inequalities across the UK and found a widening gap between northern and southern areas. The six worst health areas were located in Glasgow, Scotland. People living in poorer areas had higher rates of poverty, infant mortality, and preventable death. The report concluded that reducing health inequalities required government action to tackle the underlying causes of poverty.
Health and wealth
Wealth in the UK is measured based on assets like housing, pensions, savings, and income sources like employment, benefits, and self-employment. While the UK has a GDP per capita of £17,300, making it the 19th richest in the OECD and 24th richest country globally, relative and absolute poverty remain issues, with relative poverty defined as lacking necessities and absolute poverty as being deprived of basic needs. Poverty levels grew in the 1980s when the richest 10% saw income rise 65% while the poorest saw a 13% drop, and have remained high, with 1 in 4 people and 1 in 3 children living in poverty. Recent trends show fewer poor families with children or pensioners,
Health comparison
The document discusses health inequalities in the UK based on findings from several government reports since 1842. It shows a strong link between poverty and poor health, though overall health has improved. Two nearby areas, Drumchapel and Bearsden, are compared, showing Drumchapel residents are much more likely to die young from common causes like heart disease. Recommendations are sought for reducing the health divide in West Dunbartonshire, particularly for young people.
voter behaviour
Social class is no longer the dominant factor in shaping political attitudes and voting behavior. While some residual class loyalty remains, factors like personality, policy issues, media influence, and regional differences now play a larger role in how people vote. Voters are also more volatile and willing to change their party alignments. With more floating voters, political parties must now appeal to a wider range of demographic groups and policy priorities to attract votes.
Wealth and Health
The document discusses causes of inequalities in wealth and health such as unemployment, low income, age, gender, and race. It outlines UK government strategies to reduce these inequalities, including legislation, directing resources to the old and children, advertising campaigns, welfare-to-work programs, and promoting individual responsibility and social inclusion. The government has had mixed success in meeting its targets to improve wealth, health, and reduce inequalities, but overall progress has been more positive than negative.
