Scotland will receive 9% of the cost of the construction of HS2 in Barnett consequentials, supposedly.

However, Scotland will then be charged for 2% of its running and maintenance costs, every year, for ever.

And it has no choice over this. At all.

Scotland also contributed to the London Olympics, received a much reduced consequential and then London contributed nothing to the cost of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

These are the facts.
