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.
If we didn't gain from them (Oil, fishing, tax) why were we so adamant for the "No" vote ?
Labour and Lib Dem wanted a No as they had several seats north of the border that would weaken their status in the UK parliament were they to not be there. The Tories didn't want to be known as the party that presided over the breaking up of the union.
I think it's great that the Scots want to have fiscal responsibility and run their economy their way as they obviously have a very different outlook to the rest of the UK. However, they shouldn't rely on any perks from England, which the Barnett formula essentially is.
