The fact is that Scotland and Scots benefit from the Barnett Formula which is based on Wales receiving a higher per capita Exchequer funding than England, and Scotland even more or, put the other way, Wales receiving less per capita than Scotland, and England even less.

How dare any English nationalist candidate dare to have a campaign in England's capital city based on double standards and discrimination in which Scots are disproportionately prominent? A campaign during an election ballot for a form of local government being imposed on England by denying the English as a nation parity of treatment!

Of course, it is simply too much to expect a Brit paper to actually engage in the real, underlying political situation!!!!!!!! It's much easier to name call, and calling someone a douchebag is part of that process.
