Yeeeeees, quite so, Jock, but do you think wee Mrs. McNasty has grasped that great philosophical and monetary truth? Apparently not given that Scotland's deficit last year was £15bn which, in proportion to the UK deficit, was twice the size. Quite a lot of mickles, then!
Heil Sturgeon!
And according to The Telegraph:
For the first time in more than three decades, Scottish tax revenue per head not more than the UK figure while spending north of the Border remained £1,400 per person higher.
Stand by for a sound like a non-stop, high-pitched drill as Mrs. McNasty blames us, the English, for all her woes. Well, it's an old Jock custom! Still, praise where praise is due, at least the Jocks were shrewd enough to vote the right way in their referendum. I wonder if we Anglos will show similar wisdom.
Not looking good, DD

Yes, David, but remember 'there's many a slip twixt cup and lip' - and that sounds a bit Jock-like, too!

Did you know that in the late 1700s a wildebeeste called Jimmy escaped from Edinburgh zoo. He made his way to the docks at Leith and sailed for the new world. When he got there, he found out that the European settlers were intent on putting him in New York zoo so he slipped out of town and fell in with the local indians. He loved life in the great outdoors so much that he expressed a wish to become a full member of the tribe. The chief thought for a moment and said that it was possible but he would need a proper indian name.
So they called him Hawkeye the Gnu.
Booboom tish!

Oh Lord, Jannie, that's the worst 'joke' ever to appear on D&N - and that's saying something!

I imagine wee Jimmy Sturgeon is trying to force a block Scottish vote on the UK remaining in the EU, 'cos if it goes t'other way, Edinburgh will be twinned with Pyongyang and their currency on a par with Kim's money.
Also, it was noted how the Scottish National Socialist Party, otherwise known as the McNazis, used their votes to scupper a Sunday shopping hours vote which only affected England and Wales.

You cannot win with the Scottish Nat sis. Give them plenty they will moan, give them little they will moan. The English are so tolerent in accepting less money for public services than the Scots and yet the Scots Nat sis moan.
