SIR - Your reader C C Vyvyan-Robinson, (Letters, February 9), does not go deep enough with concern over the taxation of the English to pay for the Scots.
Scotland has its own flag, its own parliament, its own monetary units and its own laws. Therefore it is an entity in its own right.
If this is truly the case, why have the English taxpayers had to fork our billions of pounds to fund the building of the Scottish parliament - which cost more that any other parliamentary building in the world?
Why does a Scot on £140,000 a year get free eye and dental treatment, paid for by the English taxpayer on a lot less money but who has to do without the same free services?
Why are the English taxpayers being forced to pay for life-saving cancer drugs that are not allowed to be prescribed to English patients, because of cost, but the same drugs are completely free to patients in Scotland?
Why are there so many Scots making rules that only effect the English taxpayers? What idiot voted them into the English Parliament?
Jack Kinsman, Grimsby.
