The_Kincardine Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I may be being whooshed but my statement "'Tory' is a political party" is attracting a lot of NatWit excitement. Again. Not sure why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Mr Barnett Scotland has about £4,000 per taxpayer per annum (pre covid numbers but still valid) to make things better. Aw jesus fuckin christ, throwing in "The Barnett Formula" is like invoking Godwins law for Unionist / Indy debates man ! This "subsidy junkie" shite is about as valid as the "I dinnae sweat" excuse Prince Andrew came out with. I suppose all that amazing transport infrastructure you have been babbling on about in the SE of England is utterly free? The Elizabeth (dead)line - was that free? The Eurostar stations and lines - free ? The new 15 mile sewer 30 m below the tube lines in London - free? The HS2 that wont get to Glasgow or Edinburgh - free? Every single fucking one of them cost £billions, paid for by the UK taxpayer (i.e. Scottish people too) and to benefit "all of us".............well, all of us if we live in the south of England or fucking London. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland is subsidised - via Barnett - by taxpayers like me in leafy South Bucks. 2 minutes ago, Leith Green said: The Elizabeth (dead)line - was that free? For every £1 spent on the Eliz Line Scotland got 8p back thanks to Mr Barnett. You are absolutely coining it in yet have a matching pair of rotting hulls.

On an unrelated note, I spotted this house reported on in an article about graffiti in leafy South Bucks. Pure coincidence, I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Bucks ? That doesn't exist anymore, wasn't that incorporated into the Buckinghamshire unitary authority a few years back ? Was it a redrawing of the boundaries or a resurrection of old existing boundaries that resulted in the demise of S Bucks ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotland, even. Rubbish, there is a difference, in some cases small, but pretty much always a higher percentage of Scots have more socially democratic views. British Social Attitudes "research has indicated that Scotland is more socially democratic in outlook than England, though this difference is often smaller than common wisdom would suggest" 3 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: Tory' isn't a social attitude and Scotland doesn't vote in GEs.
