scotland again

I think the Barnett formula needs to be reduced, so that the Scots pay more themselves - after all, Holyroyd has the powers to raise taxes, so they can if the Scots want to maintain the services the English are subsidising.

I totally agree with u and we should keep our resources too.

I think the response just shows how "little" Scotlanders think.

I live in the "properous" SE of England where the bulk of the UK taxes are paid, BUT I DON'T expect my taxes just to be spent in my area. They are for the greater good of all the UK

Really Murdoch

Can I see your figures to back up this claim like

How much taxes are raised by the scots and how much taxes are spent on scots. You have obviously seen them.

Just like Labour, and all the unions.

Typical right wing/kipper response. The difference is, as I said above, the kippers see Farage as some sort of demigod. I don't idolise any socialist in that way.
The man paints himself as one of us but is just as much of a hypocrite and BS artist as any of the others that could be named but the kippers can't see through him.

Read this - yes its not completely up to date but look at the trends and they are obvious.

And I reiterate - I expect taxes to be handed out fairly, not on the basis of who contributes the most gets the most!

The Scots are a bit like fleas on a dog. The fleas actually know a good thing when they have it but just like to bite and suck all the blood out. And the poor dog can't get rid of them ........ and the fleas won't ***** leave.
