Scotland has to pay for Westminster bureaucracy and all the poor, bad decision. £Billion lost. Illegal wars, financial fraud and tax evasion. Westminster corruption costing £Billion. Brexit a total chaotic bad decision.
Scottish administration is much cheaper and more successful. The monies are spent in Scotland.

Hi Jack.
The man with nothing to do, yet has thousands of flunkies to help.
What do they do all day?

Lick his @rse?

From a cocked hat (with plume) to the Ermine cloak marks the greasy slither of a rat!
