Unfortunately we have no say over where our taxes get allocated and to do so would be impractical anyway. But you'd think people were used to this anyway - I think the idea of car tax going on the maintenance of roads is pretty much a fallacy to most these days.

Like it or not the Welsh and Scots are able to have funding in departments that aren't applicable to the English. Don't like it? Fine, let's swap. You get to have free prescriptions, we get a government that has the power to make decisions that affect and change the whole of the UK.

In any case, blame Labour for granting the right to devolve.
