Scottish gov moans over broadband cash handout

re: to all the people moaning about scotland "getting more"

Let's do it. No subsidies from England to Scotland, you can spend whatever you generate in your own income taxes and not a penny more.

You'll be bankrupt and wanting help within a year. Scotland doesn't have the population to pay for it's own expenditure - end of argument.

Crematorium to heat council swimming pool

Superb!

As a Redditch resident I love the idea - the heat is there anyway as the fires aren't actually fueled by the bodies, so why not use it? And the BBC are reporting that Unison (god bless'em) are calling it "distasteful" but, as the £14,500 per annum is likely the salary of a council employee job, would they really prefer a redundancy to save the same money?
