Who said anything about stolen? What a tabloid-esque view. It’s about what is invested back in Scotland after its outsize contributions. I don’t want to ignore devolution, there are not enough chars. You seem closed to argument and not fun to talk to so let’s not waste each other’s time any more.

This is reality now, political hypocrisy and unfairness now. As part of the UK we're entitled to complain about how our region is defunded, our world-class assets (energy, salmon, oil, whisky) whisked down south as Scots struggle. UKgov SHOULD be working to save 1000s of jobs, like Tata, but isn't.

You're conflating undermining devolution, a separate point, with treating Scotland like a colonial territory where our assets are stripped/abandoned & we become dependent on the UK for vital infrastructure. Like the ability to process our own oil. Even Unite & Sarwar blame UKLab for failing G'mouth

Also, dismissive and colonialist approach to Scotland that's eroding the devolution settlement, stripping us of our assets and denying us democractic choices. See: Grangemouth/export of energy and food to England/overriding ScotParl legislation.

Like Mr Tumnus, Seth M. has also experienced racism at the hands of his ruler. Miss Huang = Pevensie children? Conflicted dwarves from Prince Caspian? Ms Casey = enchanted Prince Rilan?
