I do disagree with this however. Scotland isn't subsidised but even if it were that would be no reason for a spilt. Wales is 'subsidised' but I wouldn't want them to break away. The North is also 'subsidised' but again breaking away would be awful. This is how a country works. Some areas generate more income than other areas but really no one is being subsidised as we're all one country. People move around, companies gain from customers across the Kingdom, they gain staff from across the kingdom too.
Its awfully insular to think in terms of region vs region. That's not too say some regions don't have issues unique to their area, poor transport in the South-West, collapse of industry in the North etc but our countries' resources aren't meant to be kept in the region from which they are generated.
