But I am an English tax payer (of Scottish nationality) living in the South East so I'm all right Jack (or should it be Jock?). Joking aside, two rights don't make a wrong and that fact that the UK Government has announced a number of infrastructure projects which a cynic might think have something to do with the forthcoming general election doesn't make it right that the Scottish Government took ownership of Prestwick to try and bolster SNP chances in the devolution referendum. I wish no harm to the people of Prestwick but there is just no case for it to be subsidised by tax payers - the Scottish Central Belt is not exactly short of airports.
