It's proportional to population IIRC.

Thanks. So ignoring the fact they are probably taking more than they are contributing what do the Welsh and Scots miss out on that we don't? Or what are we spending/wasting money on that they don't? 

There is something seriously amiss when the Welsh/Scots can seemingly afford free/cheaper prescriptions, reduced/free university places etc, when us English don't. But there must be reason for it, it can't be that clear cut.

That is a seriously shit flag! Perhaps the welsh and scots don't piss away tax payers money on designing needless and crap flags?

The fact I've never seen said flag suggests it wasn't an overwhelming success.

Oh and STFCinBmth - I think they introduced Ostrich onto Salisbury plain.

The question though is whether they are given a disproportionally high 'budget' compared to that available to the English.  I'd imagine we subsidise the Welsh pot, though I don't know for a fact.

Secondly, would we benefit from an English assembly?

Money gets divvied up according to the Barnett Formula...expenditure per head of population works out like this..

    * England £7,121
    * Scotland £8,623
    * Wales £8,139
    * Northern Ireland £9,385

How the fuck did Jurassic Park get built in Wiltshire without anyone knowing:

"Previously extinct, the large bird is now part of a ten year breeding programme on Salisbury Plain."
