Benefits from whom? The US?
Unless England is a suspect classification under the Constitution AND a person living within the boundaries of the United States, I dont see where the discrimination could possily be. Not to mention, what benefits? Unless you are talking about the Glenfiddich Act of 1833, where the United States granted immunity to Scotland for all damages caused by the mash yeast infection of brought to the US by Scottish immigrants, I cant imagine what you are talking about.

Considering that England holds the purse strings and doles out little bits to Scotland,what are you moaning about.
Freedom for Scotland from England is the answer.

Why is there always this Scotland /England thing? My mother was English but was more Scots than me. Centuries ago we were two seperate countries until a group of "Scots" sold us down the river. Remember England pinched our oil, decimated our heavy industries. gave the EU our fishing waters. If it wasn't for Scots inventiveness we would not enjoy a lot of the things we now take for granted. Let's stop complaining and appreciate what both sides can offer

As another person said, they have their own parliament. If there is it's positive discrimination, as I understand that pay and work etc is lower up there.
Down south we have various pay for the same jobs, plus different pensions for the areas that we live in. Pensions in some parts of Scotland are higher, as it's understood that in some parts, the life expectancy is much lower.

No, it's because the Scottish Government is allowed to set its own policies in many areas and chooses to use this discretion for socially beneficial purposes. If you want the same benefits in England tell your MPs. Or move north.

They' enjoy more benefits because they're joined on to England - whereas we're only joined on to Scotland

The present Scottish parliament was set up for the very purpose of ripping off the English. The Mullahs Blair and Brown,"both born in Scotland", sanctioned this act to keep their Labour voters sweet.It has now thankfully backfired and with luck Scotland will become independent and we English can then get rid of the multitude of Scots who are running and ruining the country.

Because they have their own assemvly they can decide on how to spend their allowance, they choose to spend it on free higher education free prescriptions, they don`t have london to maintain like the English do with all the railway stations sports areanas and intensive policing.New government offices and buildings. I live in the midlands and we get whats left or nothing,it stinks.

It's probably because we have a few Intelligent politicians with common sense up here, we export the bulk of the idiots down there & the most corrupt & stupid ones get promoted to the European Parliament.
