I'm just guessing, but from the lack of commitment to a yes or no answer, then it must be in the negative

I for one cannot understand why it is not acceptable for England to be given equal treatment to Scotland?

You realise Berwick is considering going over to Scotland because of the lucrative Barnett Formula, which gives Scotland at least £1,000 per head of population more than England? Not to mention they have free home care, free residential care, free central heating and half price travel for their elderly? Kennedy also wants them to get free eye tests and dental care (for evidence of this, read his party speeches). Oh, and the Scottish MPs also voted for top up fees ONLY for England (Looks like the Welsh Assembly will reject it) - whilst rejecting it for Scotland.

That says it all, really. England gets the pooey end of the stick again. It doesn't take a half witted moron to figure out that as time passes and the gap widens, the residents of England will have the highest death rates due to quality of life and the lowest standards of healthcare!

This is a major concern for many voters and UKIP should come out and say where they stand on the matter.

Sitting on the fence is not an option. For now, the response appears to be a resounding NO to England - continue to suffer dominance and lump it
