Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-Scotland or anything just making a point.

Despite the Scottish Parliament, Scotland is STILL part of Great Britain.
Therefore it gets a proportion of the money that is given out by the Government.
It DOES NOT get any extra money "from English taxpayers", it just decides how to spend the money it gets, the same money as it has gotten since before it was free to make decisions like that.
