Original Note:
This is a common trope from a minority of nationalists, the subtext being that Scotland subsidises the rest of the UK. This is false, see the following: https://www.gov.scot/publications/government-expenditure-revenue-scotland-2022-23/pages/7/ https://fullfact.org/economy/scotland-finances-whisky-tax/ https://fullfact.org/economy/scotland-finances-2001/ https://www.deliveringforscotland.gov.uk/scotland-in-the-uk/public-spending/
