Why are politicians and the media really upset about Scotland? Because they have the balls to give their citizens what any first rate country citizen should expect - free school meals, free prescriptions, no tuitition fees. England with the help of the corporate media has removed such essentials and worse still liars in the corporate press with help from corrupt academics Travers are misleading the public. They often refer to what London pays in relation to Scotland. But who pays what? It is not big business or the City and Canary Wharf whose interests and whims they represent. Ordinary Londoners pay taxes like the Scots with the North Sea. Most Scottish MPs had expressed an interest in voting against the £16-30 billion rail scheme Crossrail, which is being foisted on Londoners who are expected to pay two thirds for a line that will benefit the affluent City and Canary Wharf. Why? Because it is a bad scheme that makes money for private interests and developers and harms large parts of London.
