North of the wall we get free NHS prescriptions, free eye tests, a heavily subsidised bus and ferry service, and university fees are a fraction of what’s charged in England or Wales.
I live in a beautiful, low crime area with fantastic quality of life, mountains on my doorstep and a house I could never afford in the South East of England.
I think that’s worth paying a bit more income tax for.
(Shame about the weather though . . .)
