Cost of the Union

Hard hitting explanation of how England is exploited in order to keep the Union going for the benefit of politicians and the peripheral countries of the UK. The subsidies that are not so apparent.

Almost agree basch2020

But each nation needs to be governed by its own nationals. England and the British Government prove that.

The Scottish Nationalist, supported by the likes of Kinnock would never have got control of an English Parliament.

Think of English nationalists geting control of Holyrood and you will appreciate the need.

Nothing wrong with working together provided you deal on a profit only basis and the others do.

Oh dear,

Another amateur phsycologist.

My stress level has just gone through the roof.

Outwitted by another canny Scot.

If you want to reconcile the peoples of our nations and fight the evil of the politicians and their bankster masters, you are going to have to be a lot more diplomatic and humble than this display of English arrogance and ignorance. It's what we have come to expect over the past 820 years or so but still, surely the English could have moved on from their snide superiority and overbearing smugness of the past.

@arisuta2

I do like this one!

You say that I am "going to have to be a lot more diplomatic and humble" to achieve reconcilliation.

Then you say "English arrogance and ignorance"

And English "Snide and ,superiority and overbearing smugness"

Now think of that my confused friend.

Well we have to get our money back somehow, after Thatcher closed our docks, steelworks etc. Does this guy in the vid actually think we want to be thieving money off England if that is the case??? Dont flatter yourself pal! We would take independance more than anyone, then hardworking fishermen per say would feel like they can stop lining Belgiums pockets!

Thatcher was an amateur compaired with Blair, Brown and their vicious henchmen.

I think that both of our countries are being deliberately wrecked. We are kept at each others throats (Anyone but England etc) so that they can follow their own agenda whilst we are shouting at each other over the fence. We need to unite and make them pay the appropriate penalty for their crimes. Our ancient constitution had the mechanism to deal with these traitors. We need cooperative independence

If England went on their own, then I would expect all overseas territories to be split between the Welsh,Scottish and why not the N.Irish too? Perhaps we would need to consider dividing the Falklands evenly, we fought for it too! Perhaps I would want the Welsh border to be revised back to her orignal territories. Perhaps we would charge you alot more for your water usage as Wales provide a hell of alot of water for England?

highest per capita funding list is as follows

london

Northern Ireland

Scotland

so Scotland gets less than london.

Scotland gets out LESS than it puts in to to the union. this is FACT, Scotland is a NET CONTRIBUTOR!

You video is a load of nonsense.

our budget is 33Bn and we put in a damned site more. i think britishwatcher(a unionist of big mouth proportions) put Scotland contribution at £50 Bn. so tell me, how is it that Scotland subsidises?

oh! and btw brown is a BRIT of Scottish origin.

[MrScottishJamie]

why does the The Scottish parliament get a fixed budget and westminster can spend what it wants i would like to see westminster on a fixed budget maybe our debt would drop hmm

[basch2020]

I don't necessarily think independance is the best solution. It's better to work with your neighbours than to partition yourselves off. If Scotland (And Northern Ireland/Wales) want these state-funded luxuries they should bear the financial burden themselves.

The US states are largely financially autonomous and are in "a fairer union" as a result...

You Sir are a comic genius. I salute you. Do you juggle as well?

[cjmastablasta]

Thankyou England for your generosity. Long live the UK and all the benefits we gain. You love the idea of britain so much and you only have yourselves to blame for voting the way you all do. As long as we don`t have to work for the money then there is no insentice to do so. Why be independant when we have barnett and all the other benefits kindly given to us by London. We can have England back our banks and not have to worry about them ourselves. Long live the union.

@TheHead9999, glad you liked it, hope you take the time to reflect on what I wrote and no, it isn't ironic or indicative of the same failings in me or my fellow Scots so you can forget that. I am not confused but I think you are seriously befuddled.

[scottdj1982]

@TheHead9999 Thatcher was an amateur 4 u because when she imposed poll tax on us u prob couldnt give a shit! Maybe it wasn't really a big deal 4 u.... I have watched a few of ur vids now and cant agree on whether u have intelligent ideology or u r an underlying racist... Whichever the case, England are suposed to have one of the strongest governments in the world. Tell me, why is it that people like you try 2 blame the rest of Britain because you cant get your own country in order??
