Tories propose 3% tax cuts for the Scots

The Tories are going to fight the next Scottish election with the promise to cut 3% off their taxes.

The pledge is design to try and boost their derisory 15% share of the Scottish vote.

What I want to know is, who is going to pay for this? We already subsidise Scotland to the tune of a few billion pounds a year and they already get plenty of benefits that the English don't get - when is it going to stop?

England does not exist solely for the purpose of providing taxes to give the Scots and Welsh a higher standard of living.
