Scotland.

Last year, public spending in Scotland was £8,623 per head, whilst England received just £7,121.
Now other than commenting on the fact that Scots have only ever won 'mighty victories oer the sassenach' and have never actually lost a battle but have only ever been 'treacherously betrayed' - I am quite a fan of the Scots.
BUT this disparity between funding the two populations - a mere £60 billion since Gordon arrived on the scene and combined with the W. Lothian Question, is nothing less than iniquitous.
Once again we must question the sheep-like apathy of the English voter. Were it not for an occasional letter in the better newspapers - there is no complaint about one more major injustice perpetrated against the people of our nation by politicians.
[Ever wondered how the Scots have managed to fund University education and Old People's Homes?]
