Even as a Unionist,can we knock off the ‘Scots subsidy’ myth?.

Lets start discussing this issue from a sensible level, no matter what we decide to do...

im not really saying that the scottish economy is bereft. And with friends in the UK and the EU an independent Scotland would do ok.

Personally, I want the Scots to stay in the Union. They bring something different and the UK would be a poorer place without them. And in the end, all 3 nations and 1 province have given up a portion of national identity to maintain a collective strength.

After getting out of uni with £20,000 of debt, I was just a little gutted to discover free education north of the border.
