If Scotland breaks away who will pay for their total nanny state?

Not who. What. That would be oil. 1m barrels a day spread out over 5m people. Norway does 2m barrels a day and has close to 2x US GDP per capita.

I agree with you. England cannot continue on the same course without those funds. But it’s just one of many reasons they don’t want Scotland to break away.
