No longer should the English subsidise the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish. The Barnett Formula is unfair, outdated and needs rethinking. At a time of devolution and increased autonomy it is time to change!

The North of England seems to be forgotten about as unfair Barnett Formula money passes over our heads to Scotland, mainly for political reasons now. It's original intention was to help and compensate needy areas, not keep the Scots in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

If possible, this petition should be press released to newspapers etc., to try and raise awareness of the unfairness of this 'temporary' formula and get more people to sign. Unfortunately, most Scots now see this formula as a settled right. As do some members of the British Government, it appears!
