People in this country were up in arms when this was first suggested ... bristling with the absolute indignity at the thought of money being spent to help others.
Really? At General Elections Scotland tends to vote dramatically in favour of parties that do redistribution, far more than the rest of the UK
I also got one of these in Scotland and found it very reassuring and helpful, you could see almost all the other children around were using the same clothes / toys etc.
Very strongly disagree with this.
Yes there was some grumbling from the usual attention seeking (read 'shit-stirring') pundits in the right wing media, but to suggest the country was up in arms is simply false. The plan was rather welcomed, the only concerns being how best it fit it in with other NHS natal treatment.
