As I remember it the difference in spending per head of the population is accounted for by the density of the population in each part of the UK. This should be self evident to any thinking person.

I am at present digging out the figures which show that the MOD spend a much smaller part of its budget in Scotland than is warrented by an equitable share of their overall spending.

The same applies to the BBC who also dayly pump out information with a unionist slant, this is considered by some a breach of their charter which requires them to be impartial in handling these matters.
