This, a thousand times this, it would make Sacha Baron Cohen look positively boring. I'm cringing hideously even thinking about it.

Yes, but is that more a a distinction in viewpoint than say someone in Charlestown Cornwall to someone in Pimlico London to someone in Liverpool. Britain is made great by its cultural diversity.

I live in Kent and would love to know what values and visions I have that are so divergent from those of the Scottish. Our economy is in the midst of a fragile recovery when investor confidence is shaky at best. This uncertainty brought on by such things is nothing but bad for us on both sides of the border.

Further, where was the independence movement in the boom years of the late 90's early 00's. Now we are in tough times, is it really every man for themselves?

To an extent it is. You guys get free prescriptions and free university education, Kent doesn't. We have no option for equality on these points, and these decision's were made in Edinburgh. We live in the same country. Everyone knows that it is not viable to roll that out nationwide, yet we all pay taxes just the same.

£2.8bn per year isn't a massive amount of money. 0.38% of the annual budget to be precise.

I completely agree for the money saved the bedroom tax is a waste of time although it affects a very small number of people.

Please don't begin to think that many people down here are happy with the status quo either.

Thank you for your insight to the 80s-90s, that was helpful.
