There are also areas of extreme deprivation in the south-east despite the veneer of prosperity.

Which is why we need to increase public soending not cut it, we want to have the benifits Scotland is having!

I think I know what your answer will be (but hope springs eternal in the human breast) - how will this increased public spending be funded?

The usual answer, but it would only be a few billion

I think your answer shows how we got into the mess we are in - only a few billion here, only a few billion there; it soon adds up to serious money.....;)

Not sure that makes much sense, or means anything. I think most people take more from the state than they give back. I certainly do, I have a job but I've gone though the entire school system, had treatment on the NHS, am protected by the police and so on. My taxes don't come anywhere near meeting that value.

I don't think that situation is unique to Scotland. She has just presented in a way that makes it seem unusual.

Anyone would think you didn't want them to go...
