Without taking this completely off topic and into a whole 'Scotland-has-it-so-much-easier-we'd-be-better-off-without-them' argument the post from the Herald is only a small selection of what was a multi-page article a few months back. Suffice to say it went into as much detail as it could about how the figures were broken down and while some parts of England get shafted money wise other areas do quite nicely.
Of course thats not what certain people in English based newspapers (some of which have Scottish editions conveniently missing articles published in England) and some broadcasters want to hear as it takes away their most convenient whipping boy. |
To be fair, I really don't want to be without Scotland, my issue with Scotland (mostly the SNP) is that they don't seem to want to be part of the UK anymore. Which is sad
Anyway, Yeah, I not sure on what the figures are and mean. I would say London has a lot of money spent of things like security as well as also having some very poor sectors living in and around London.
