Highly offensive and incredibly ignorant, yes.
The article links to the Scottish Government statistics - you should have a look at chapter 5 of that document, which details the potential settlement of oil revenue if/ when Scotland gains independence.
Worst case scenario for the Scots is it stays roughly the same, worst case is we get 95% of the continuing revenue. Good luck filling the gaps in your exchequer then...
We get loads of money from English taxpayers, and have considerably more say over what to do with it, so much so that we are able to protect the NHS and other public services, not to mention the free higher education. You even bailed out our failed banks.
Thanks for everything!
