ah TCL me old china, I knew you wouldn't let me down! Have another contrarian pill! PMSL. if the amount of resources given to a normal citrizen of the UK is 100 then our Scottish friends get 110% of that. geddit? it's called the Barnet formula: https:/
but of course you knew that.

Scotland are a drain.

I'm more than happy for Scotland to gain their independence as I'm intrigued quite how they'd survive without England's munificence that allows them to provide free prescription, free university education plus whatever other freebies the English provide.

You mean public expenditure then?
From The Institute For Government,
"The Barnett formula calculates devolved budgets by using the previous year’s budget as a starting point, and then adjusting it based on increases or decreases in comparable spending per person in England. For example, if spending on healthcare in England increases by £100m, the Scottish government’s budget would increase by £9.7m since Scotland’s population is 9.7% of England’s."
It's calculated pro-rata then, there's no additional 10% for Scotland in that calculation.
Also, the money is not coming from England, it's coming from the UK Treasury.

DD: "I'm more than happy for Scotland to gain their independence as I'm intrigued quite how they'd survive without England's munificence that allows them to provide free prescription, free university education plus whatever other freebies the English provide. " - the last thing Scotland wants is "independence" they just need to find someone to take them on because they hate their current benefactors!
There are around nine million people in Greater London. There are around six million people in Scotland. Can't, for the life of me, understand why we have to listen to constant bleatings of the SNP. My view is that go away, leave the English alone, and be an 'independent nation' within the EU. That is, of course, an illogical absurdity in itself.
