Are you sick of Scottish Nationalists?

Question

England currently subsidises every scot to the tune of £1500 per year. Hence such scottish polices as the abolition of tuition fee's.

Answer 1

If it were not for the north sea oil money that the English government stole from the Scottish in the first place you would be near bankrupt OUR MONEY HAS KEPT ENGLAND GOING Please don't quote monetary subsidies until you get your sums correct

Answer 2

See the Sea - to the Eastern side of the UK - called the North Sea - well its full of Oil - and guess what - Its in the Scottish bit.. So the English should be crossing their Legs hoping that the break of the Union doesn't happen.. Because if it does..England will become a third world country.. So the tuition fees should be the least of your worries..

Answer 3

Firstly, the official figures are fiddled. Scottish employees and pensioners, for instance, who have income which just happen to be administered from an HMRC office situated in England get counted as English tax money. Yes, it's that simple. Centre 1 does not account for every employee working in Scotland.

Now that we have that fact straight, lets look at tuition. You're sore that Scotland can offer free tuition whilst England has to pay for it. Tough. As demonstrated above, it's Scotland's money, to do with as she wants. The fact that Scotland values education (as it has done for centuries) is a matter of great national pride. It should also cause England to be thoroughly ashamed. Ireland has demonstrated what a well-educated workforce can do for a nation.

I will leave the debate on oil to the oil rig worker above, suffice to say I agree with him.

Answer 4

Not half as sick of hearing about how only 'England' provides subsidies to other UK member nations. Do you think that only English people pay taxes?

Get your facts correct before you make such grossly inaccurate statements, you bloody idiot!

I am more concerned about the wastage of taxpayers money on such things as:

1. The Royal family and their parasitic off-siders
2. The futile war in Iraq
3. Scrounging mongrels
4. Cherie Blairs plastic surgery!

Answer 5

Clearly you are, which is great. If you don't like it, go annoy your MP and get us kicked out of the Union.
Go on, you know you want to.

The subsidy lie is an old one, to say the least. This lie is designed to make Scots believe Scotland could not survive outside the UK. And it's a complete load of bollocks.
There is an enormous screed of stuff that Scotland pays in which never materialises in the figures relating to subsidies.

Answer 6

I'm Scots, & I'm sick of Scottish Nationalists. Abolition of tuition fees will affect the quality of Scottish university education Budgets will have to be cut elswhere in Scotland to fund the Universities. Ordinary Scottish taxpayers subsidising the education of the highest earners.

Instead of regional assemblies, why not have an English parliament based in Westminster, & move the U.K. goverment to somewhere more central, like Carlisle.

Regarding the subsidy situation, hopefully that's only temporary, however there is economic variation throughout the U.K. including England. Hopefully the Scottish economy will improve, but I think we'll have to get rid of the S.N.P. first.

Answer 7

it fairly is the "cybernat" phenomenon. Small numbers of somewhat nasty human beings create dozens of money owed and unsolicited mail each and every newspaper internet site and communicate board to attempt to make it appear as if ninety 9% of human beings are nationalists. The polls, and speaking to actual human beings, tells an exceedingly distinctive tale. And definite, we are ill to death of it.

Answer 8

so you want us to go eh well lets look at some facts
1:london gets £8,404 per head for year/scotland gets£8,623 per head/irish get£9,385 per citizen a year
2 londons civil service jobs,are not counted by westminster as gov spending in london ,that includes mod dept of culture,foriegn office etc
3 museums institutions that are classed as national resources arent counted as giov spending in london
national gallery gets £26 million a year
£45 million a year to natural history museum
£45 million goes to british museum
national museum of scotland which the gov doesnt count as its classed as being only for scotland gets £15 million a year (oh what a surprise there eh)
4 BBC annual budget is £4 billion a year almost half the sum spent on health in scotland
bbc report states that they made 44,234 hours of tv in london compared to 2,495 hours in scotland ,they spent,a tiny £106million in scotland out of just £505 million outside london that leaves a hell of a lot in london and it was a scotsman who invented the tv
5 olympics the millenium dome cost £789 million roughly twice what it cost to build the scottish parliament
lottery is now ready to fund london with the olympics which have been estimated at a cost of £5billion this in 1 city alone
6 london underground new tube line cost £3.5 billion thats 3.5 times what the cost of a new bridge over the forth in scotland
scotlands entire transport budget is £2.3 billion and covers one third of the land mass of the uk

so we see who really are the subsidy junkies yes westminster feeds billions into london and sod the rest of the uk citizens
no wonder scots are wanting away when all our tax money and oil revenue seems to be proping up england,and to add insult bank of england was established by a scot bet hes spinning in his grave
so before you whine about scots again remember we gave the world the tv the phone tarred your roads,bicycles,etc etc
well pay us the royalties on tv and phone alone i wonder just how rich we would be

Answer 10

£1500 on every person in Scotland that's a nice round figure it would be interesting to know where you got that figure from. But you can rest assured there are people in Scotland who are hard at work to put an end to this injustice and saving you money by making Scotland independent. God save your Queen
