    Scotland is receiving a massive cash infusion from English taxes. Easy to spend other people’s money.

      You could apply that same logic to the north of England, most of the tax is raised in the South East and London. You can’t make this a blanket Scotland vs England thing.

      Scottish income tax bands raise more money than their UK equivalents per capita and I’m happy to pay that for better services.

        Agreed, I would.
