[quote=scribz]In terms of tax, we produce about 21.7% of the UK's tax spendings, which shows we subsidies the rest of the UK, despite being returned with a zeitgeist view that we're all "subsidy junkies" (to quote Lord Monckton, former UKIP MP) and are getting subsidized by England, people find this a little insulting.[/quote]

Can you provide a source from 21.7%? I'm looking at a few different sources and they're all telling me that it's somewhere between 8.2% and 9.9%, so right where it ought to be in regards to population.
