So nice to know how you all feel about me, and the rest of Scotland. would you like me to leave this forum as well.
We don't feel negatively towards you, or want you to leave. You are entitled to your views like the rest of us. I would say as another Scot, I just don't get what Sturgeon hopes to achieve by separating Scotland from the rest of the UK. More equality? Levelling downwards?
Scotland has a similar sized population to Yorkshire, but gets more money per capita than any region of England, London included. £11.2k in Scotland, £9.2k average across England. The spending can't be based on GDP, because Northern Ireland gets even more than Scotland, and Wales a bit less, but still more than England. That suggests to me that separation from any other nation would benefit England most. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can put me right on this.
Raven, what is happening in Scotland that we don't hear of? I sometimes read the Courier on line, and the problems with benefits, with crime, with the homeless in Scotland are remarkably similar to the news here.
