Not another uneducated English numptie?
Scotch has no hands - it is a liquid.
England has no claim upon the Falkland Islands as they belong to the United
Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.
There are no typos as England does not even have a parliament of its own it
owns nothing and is thus just a region of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland.
What on Earth are they teaching you English children in class these days?
Do you know where the town of Falkland is in the UK?
Do you know why it has a palace?
Were you not paying attention in class when they taught you the geographic
make up of the British Isles and which parts of the Isles belong to the
United Kingdom?
Then were you asleep when they taught about the Houses of Parliament?
These were a purpose built complex for the United Kingdom of Great Britain &
Northern Ireland. So they are not English but British.
There is no English parliament, no English government and no English empire.
You really should be paying better attention in class.

The question has not even been decided yet. No one yet knows if they will be
asking, "Do you want an Independent Scotland", or perhaps, "Do you want to
remain part of the UK".? They might even ask, "Do you vote for the Status
Quo"? In which case numpties like you would vote according to your musical
tastes.
If you are so bothered about it why are you not forming a political party to
fight for home rule for England?
Just what you hope to achieve by posting abusive, bigoted and racist rubbish
against Scottish people defies all logic.
Anyway, are you so sure that your English voters are ready to give up the
funding that England gets as the UK that she will lose if England gets home
rule.
You just have not thought this thing through and you are letting your
obvious haltered of all things Scottish get in the way of your logic.
Look at it this way the UK coffers are filled by the revenues from all four
home countries.
To assess what these revenues are you have to identify those which come from
each country.
There are only two ways to do this.
If a particular income is identified as from a particular country then no
problem, it comes from that country.
So, for example, as 98% of North Sea revenues comes from the Scottish sector
of the North sea then that revenue is Scottish. If it comes from, say,
Melton Mowbray Pork Pies then it is English, if it comes from Irish Whiskey
then it is Irish and from Welsh Anthracite it is Welsh.
So no problems there.
However, there are other extraregio incomes that need to be sorted in a
different manner, these are from such things as the tax revenues on
companies who operate in all four UK countries but who, at present, pay all
their tax from a head office in only one UK country. They will no longer be
able to do that after independence. They will then have to pay tax earned in
a country to that country. No problem there though, all they need do is to
take the UK tax and work out where the tax gets pain on a per capita basis.
Now, before we go any further, let me point out that England is NOT the UK
so do not confuse the issue by thinking they are. Now we come to such things
as TV licence, Road tax and so on. These are also extraregio and must be
divided up as per capita too.
So the usual claims by numpties that England is subsidising everyone looks a
bit sick now as these numpties have been counting all extraregio income as
English and it is not.
Still think that England subsidises the Scots?
If you do you will have to provide the figures to prove it. Can you?
Well can you?
