I believe that a senior aircrew flt lt based in Scotland will be paying approximately £1k/yr more in tax than his/her equivalent based south of the border, when the next SNP iteration of tax demands is released. As someone who lives there, my council tax went up by 33% last year too!

This is all based on anyone who earns above £25k/yr and not claiming benefits being classed as rich and therefore they must pay more. Also, anyone who may have worked harder in life to afford a house in a council tax bracket above level C, is also a filthy capitalist b'stard who should be made to pay for it!!!

Interestingly though, during a not too distant overseas tour, my family had to pay for any medical treatment beyond that you would receive from the English NHS. When I pointed out that as a Scottish dweller, it would be free, the answer was 'tough sh1t - English rules apply'!

Watch this space for future refusals to be posted to Scotland based on the financial discrepancy.
