Why do you want to know? |
Just curious. I'd find it odd if you post on a Scots forum when you obviously have a great dislike for us. It might be easier if you regularly post on English forums, and just come here occasionally to antagonise folk.
I'm also curious to know whether you are propagating the sort of articles you post here on English sites.

It is not a fact. You might at a stretch be able to interpret the figures that way, but it is far from a fact. However, you clearly believe that and are clearly aggrieved by the situation. The next question is what are you doing about it? (Apart from trying to educate us on the matter;)).

Do you post on Continental European forums informing them of this, like you do here?

Are all you Scots brainwashed in some way? Are you ignorant of the world outside of Scotland?
After Germany, Britain is the 2nd biggest contributor to the EU budget (one good reason why we need to leave the EU). Thanks to British taxpayers and our contribution to the evil CAP, French farmers are rich for doing no work whatsoever and French cows have more money spent on them than starving children in Africa. The People newspaper once ran a story interviewing rich French farmers (who hardly work) who made money from receiving CAP subsidies. They were pictured sitting next to their swimming pools and sports cars.
One of the farmers said: "I can't believe the English are stupid enough to be giving us this money, but I'll gladly receive it."
And I can never understand why the Scots are so pro-EU, considering that the EU has destroyed, amongst other things, the Scottish fishing industry.

I think you'll find very few people here are pro-EU, and why do you think "we Scots" all think the same way?
Everybody is different - you can't just put people's political beliefs in a box so to speak because of their nationalities. And Scots tend to be fairly well travelled, hence why they value their homeland so much.

How does Blackleaf know it is only English tax money which is going to the EU? Is it earmarked in some way? If it is, I'd like to see the figures so we can all know exactly how much of the UK Government's revenue is raised in each part of the UK.

Obviously, the vast majority of it is English money.

But your original statement implied it was all English.
