Re: to all the workers, a message from the bosses
Fewer expensive old people as they all die young from eating deep fried mars bars apparently...

They pay roughly the same taxes as the rest of the UK (distributed slightly differently), so presumably the rest of the UK is footing the bill for this. Correction - according to the the Scottish Finance Secretary, most people pay less tax in Scotland than south of the border ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...itics-46522968 ) Last edited by keith_d; 11-01-19 at 09:28 AM. |

Re: to all the workers, a message from the bosses
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...ncome-tax.html
We subsidise Scotland through the Barnet formula, which is heavily (20% extra per person) weighted in favour of Scotland - it also insulates Scotland from falls in UK wide tax revenues as they continue to get pretty much the same even if England is suffering, Oh yes they have it both ways and mrs wee krankie ginger whinger shouty mouth continues to say England is the devil in a bid to bolster the falling SNP support ( it is the only weapon she has ) - If the rest of UK take defence bases and contracts out of Scotland = instant recession Ha Ha.. suck it up wee Krankie. Shetland has already said it will stay part of UK if anything happens, they know which side their bread is buttered ( or should that be 'which side their mars bar is battered' ). you may have a valid point

Re: to all the workers, a message from the bosses
I'm actually gonna back him up here.
In all honesty the gov't spent a bunchload of money investigating the money transfers from the UK to Scotland during the independence bid. Their conclusion was... no-one really knows. It's impossible to unravel. But in general, the lower the population density, the more each person costs. And if they're paying less tax as well... It's not something I'd want to test. From either side. So umm... I agree with T. May and SV650rules ? didn't see that one coming...

Re: to all the workers, a message from the bosses
So answer me this one question, if as is often claimed, Scotland is a drain on the westminster exchequer, why does westminster continue to oppose Scottish independence?
