Unless your fishing for the answer that we Scots are subsidy monkeys and are fleecing the English which is b......s but there you go. Maybe your questioning the need for the Barnett Formula, good question, what would you replace it with? I’ll repeat myself, if Scotland was off your shoulders, you wouldn’t have to worry about it. Also, this is the Brexit pages, if you want to “hammer” the Scots, open another thread in the Political forum.
Good luck in the EU

What I do loath is the destructive, xenophobic nationalism that the likes of Farage has unleashed and yes up here too). I loath the way Boris hitched his ambition to the right wing bandwagon.
Calling the SNP anti-English is nonsense and shows a lack of understanding of politics up here.
Waste of time wishing us good luck in the EU, we look like leaving against our will anyway.

They lost 13 seats to the Tories in the 2017 election - Scotlands starting to reject them as well.

On second thoughts, don’t answer that, it’ll be the same old same old and I’m tired of it.
