We have had the Scottish elections and the SNP have won and are planning to have another independence vote. I think the British government should be helping them with that and get rid of the Barnett formula, which subsidises the Scottish government to the tune of £15 billion a year, so that they are able to be truly independent.
If Scotland is to become an independent country then it must be able to fund itself. Or is it expecting to be like the EU and expect us to keep funding its excess spending in the future.
