King Charles - Health Apartheid Against England? Doesn't Care. But Securing a Favour from President Trump on Removing American Tariffs on Scottish Whiskey? So Important!

                                  

King Charles cares passionately about the five million people in Scotland, who, of course, deserve to keep their devolved taxes, benefit from the unfair Barnett Formula out of English taxes, and so on. But the 57 million people living in England? Not so you'd notice. We are simply the disadvantaged, demonized rump of the so-called UK... A bunch of mugs...

We noticed King Charles nipping off to America and making Scotland his priority. Yep, he asked President Trump, as a special favour, to drop tariffs on Scotch whiskey.

Great.

Then he nips back to England and continues to ignore the fact that the Barnett Formula awards higher block grants to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, allowing free prescriptions for millionaires in those countries, while the most ethnically diverse country, England, which has no national representation, is forced to charge nearly £10 per item to those just above the poverty line. And has lower per capita spending on health, education, etc.

This pandering to the tiny country of Scotland has to stop. It went too far many, many years ago, and the constant assertion that Scotland is a 'victim' and 'morally superior' to England does not hold up to any objective scrutiny.

Darien? The Darien bailout from England? Clan warfare? The fake Celtic myth of 1707, from Welshman Edward Lhuyd? Scotsman Douglas Mason, the inventor of the Poll Tax? Disproportionate activity in the British Empire, creating huge profits for Scotland and an elevated voice on the world stage (used to backstab England largely)? And then the North Sea oil is supposed to be Scotland's only?

And Wales? Not saintly either. No ancient, unified country of beauty and sweetness - a web of internecine rivalries, factions and kingdoms. And we musn't forget that Ireland was partitioned by a Welsh PM with avid backing of Protestant Scots.

No UK nation is deserving of higher care and education spending than any other.

Lord Joel Barnett himself spoke out about the unfairness of his formula to England several times.

But the only action we get is the UK Government trying to carve England up into tinpot regions, and the King nipping off to America and securing privileges for a Scottish export.

And then there's the West Lothian Question.

Wake up, people. The UK is not a united kingdom. The Scots and Welsh representatives, both devolved and in the UK Parliament, have no concern for the people of England, and simply want to butter their own parsnips. The UK Parliament simply wants to retain power over England and carve it up.

Rabid self interest all round.

And as for you? Keep paying the prescription charges and paying into the Barnett pot and shut up, OK?
