meanwhile , scotland subsidising England yet again .....this time with renewable energy......... no wonder you are desperate for us not to leave...
OFGEM has approved a £3.4 billion electricity “super highway” between Scotland and England.
The 500 kilometre Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2) project will stretch from Aberdeenshire to North Yorkshire and transport vast amounts of renewable energy between Scotland "to" England
www.thenational.scot/news/24514168.electric-super-highway-scotland-england-given-go-ahead/If Scotland is not going to sell it's energy to England what are you intending to do with it? We aren't selling energy to England. Energy is being transferred to England from scotland , while Scots are burdened with the highest energy bills in Europe. We pay higher standing charges than most of England , and are burdened with nuclear levies for plants in England . We produce more energy than we need. and currently are the only uk country to be able to feed fuel and power itself but if we were independent , still have enough left over to export to our benefit. you do realise scotland is forced to be part of Englands so called uk national grid , and there is no chance for us to charge England for the energy we are subsidising you with ? We cant even set demand signals , ie set energy cheaper at weekends , as many countries do ? we live in an energy rich country , but dont see the benefits as we are subsidising yours. |

England generates way more electricity than Scotland, England's electricity will go to Scotland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsea_Wind_FarmThis is really what it's about. Once completed 6 gigawatts of offshore wind power. Some of which is going to power hydrogen production (electrolysis of sea water) the rest of which, sent up to Scotland. |

Where's your link showing otherwise? Do you need time to dig out an SNP pamphlet? My link? I don't need to link anything to know that Neil is an arch Unionist and will say anything to damn the Nationalist & YES movements. You should look at the Lesley Riddoch part of that video, where she debunks all of Neil's accusations. FYI I am not in the SNP, and unlike you, I tend to check info before I post it. Ok, thank you for your opinion. |

Wales, Scotland, and NI are complaining obout the areas that they run, that they control. They need dissolved. Half of England is complaining about how Westminster runs what it controls. Ergo, following your reasoning, Westminster should be dissolved. All The Best Forget London. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales are complaining about areas that's a devolved matter, they're operating them. So it just goes to show how bad they are complaining about what they control. You are complaining about the state of your front door that you maintain, but you blame your neighbour. |

All The Best I'll try to explain, I'll tweak a bit in so it's hopefully more clear. W, S, and NI keep chuntering on about independence so they can control their surroundings. The bulk of their whining is mainly to do with the areas that they're already in control of, those areas that are devolved. They're simply highlighting their own flaws. So they want to be independent to continue with their own devolved flaws. So why have W, S, & NI parliaments? Just dissolve them. Just leave it down to one head office, London. Stripping out those parliaments, the money to run them is freed up for services in those countries. |

Westminster is doing a bad job. Westminster blames almost anything except themselves, heck the EU still gets the blame for half of it, and we haven't been in the EU for years. Ergo, following your rationale, Westminster should be dissolved - it'll save money. All The Best |

Ok, thank you for your opinion. It isn't an opinion, it is all true and that you are unable to comeback, with a rebuttal, says it all 1. Neil is a Unionist. Fact! 2. Neil is anti Nationalist and anti Independence. Fact! 3. Lesley Riddoch wiped the floor with him and his bigoted views. Fact! 4. I am not a member of the SNP. Fact! |

The Commons and the Lords do mishandle things, but all of us are equally able to do our bit to influence the Commons, meet MPs, talk to them and also to vote against them.
English money squandered in Scotland is a matter English taxpayers have no say on.
English money squandered in Wales or Northern Ireland is a matter English taxpayers have no say on.
Abolish devolution.
Have ONE government for all of us and have it proportionally representative and fair.
Have each region of the UK means tested for public spending, and give the bits that need the most funding exactly what they need.
