       "... nor should [Scotland] accept a story in which higher public spending is used to erase every legitimate criticism of the United Kingdom. Fiscal transfers are not a substitute for economic democracy. The real issue is not whether Scotland receives more than the East of England. The real issue is why the United Kingdom has become so dependent on London, so unequal between places, and so willing to treat ordinary working households as an afterthought."https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/06/18/scotland-is-not-cossetted-britain-is-centralised/
