That's one thing I agree with. Why should Scotland, NIreland and Wales have more spent on them per capita than England?

Vote against BREXIT which was in order to REgain British independence, and yet continually whinge that THEY want independence from the UK.
The thing is, I think they'd like to rekindle the Auld Alliance with France, our traditional enemy.

True, but why then did the SNP (the Scumbag Nasty Party, the term regularly used by a long-lost member of this forum) poll more votes than all the other parties in Scotland in the GE?

It appears that the Scots can't make their minds up.

And the Vikings from whom York got its name (derived from Yorvig, if anyone is interested).

Independence is SNP ambition, one thing they have overlooked possibly?

Scottish independence from the UK is a nonsense.

Firstly Scotland could not manage without a huge subsidy from mostly English taxes.

Secondly HM Government would have to permit it to happen (god, I wish they would).

Thirdly the EU wouldn't want another dead duck on its books.
