I've just had a thought. I listened to Dave earlier on speaking about Scotland. He said something about giving them full fiscal responsibility.

If that's the case, he will take away the Barnett Formula which would play well with England but not the Scots.

When it comes to the next election, Labour wouldn't be able to offer to bring it back (and therebye get their seats back) because no English voter would accept it.

Fucking genius and it accounts for over £5 billion of the £12 billion cuts he promised.


As I said, genius!!

If true you're delighting in the misery of others? great.


Get a fucking grip. The Scots delight in spending more of English money per head than the English. Let them run their own economy, generate their own taxes etc and live within their means and don't keep asking their bigger brother for a loan.

Think of it in another way, let the scots run the country how they see fit, if they follow a socialist agenda and it works the left on here would have been proved right, the English vote labour in and jobs a good un, if they fail the left will just claim they weren't radical enough and we can argue the toss all over again

It would make the SNP actually responsible which would make them less popular at the moment they have the best of both worlds

Exactly. But the genius part is that labour couldn't reinstate it could they?
 
To Ronny and Hilts.. I don't see it as nations. I see it as people living together, (probably too simplistic) I see no joy in the 'English' doing better than any other nation on earth.

If we didn't gain from them (Oil, fishing, tax) why were we so adamant for the "No" vote ?

Because overall we are better together. It's not all about the money. My point is only about one aspect of the relationship.

That graph is ridiculously inaccurate.

It's actually ridiculously accurate.

People who think otherwise tend to think so either because they don't understand the data it is showing or they have an issue with a characterisation of their party - mainly a data problem again
