Tough luck if you're not Scottish

This article from the Daily Telegraph pretty much sums it up....England's people get a raw deal while subsidising every other part of the UK. Time to think the unthinkable and get rid of the subsidy junkies?

Don't forget to add your comment to the article and tell your MP where to stick the Barnett formula!

It's a bloody disgrace, thankfully the Telegraph and Mail - at long last - seem to be waking up to the political ramifications of the Government's anti-Englishness.

The Scots can do what they like. What is unpardonable is that the English are not offered the same privilege, that is of deciding their own domestic policy. It is determined for England by UK MPs (remember, we can't have 'two classes of MPs - Blair)which of course means (a) that no-one one specifically speaks for England and (b) MPs from the devolved countries vote on what happens in England. Asymmetric devolution is now bringing the Union into disrepute.
