The English regions are funded because it's all the same country. Scotland is different because of the devolved Parliament but, although independence would cost them, they're reasonably prosperous compared to a lot of English regions.
Breaking up the Union would damage us both. It's completely nuts and counterproductive. It will achieve nothing but cause more problems for everyone.
