you could have picked a better example, Scotland is a net drain on the UK treasury
why should someone in London pay to support people living in Glasgow permanently?
- KennyBlanken 2y agoYou should have picked a better example, Glasgow is a port city and almost certainly not a net drain; the rural parts of Scotland are. Just like all the rural parts of England, which leech of the English cities. Just like all the rural parts of the US, which leech off the "coastal liberal elites."
