Think that through to its logical conclusion.
Next you better bin Cornwall, bunch of spongers never pull their own weight.
Then the North, useless unemployed types.
Pretty soon there is just London, and guess what, London is only what it is because it is the capital of the UK. By itself it is just a grubby city full of dull w@nkers, and remarkably enough, many of them are Scots who run half the city and political establishment of London.
Scotland gets more spent per person than England, yes, if you average it out. But it is a lot less simple than that. All the rural/underpopulated areas of the UK get more spent per capita. It is obvious why. Every gas pipe/electricity line/bus route/bin run has less people per mile so is less efficient.
Scotland has less people per sq mile than England so the economys of scale are not there. Does this mean that Scottish people have a better standard of service from the Councils than England?
No.
That Scotland chooses to distribute its budget differently from England is their choice. They take hits in other areas.
The UK currently lives off the legacy of our years of empire, and the Scottish more than held their own in building that empire, both in terms of Industry and blood and treasure. Run a very quick google on Scottish inventions or scientists, or Scottish military and you will see that the idea of Scotland as a parasite on England is very misguided. In fact, considering the relative populations, it could well be seen the other way.
This is standard little England crap
Anything the Scots have done well is British, but anything that is not so good is Scottish
