even lord barnett is embarrassed by the barnett formula - it was meant to be in place for 1 year (?) in the 1970's to help out and never got taken out again
recently, tony 'most of my constituency are in one of the most deprived wards in the country' actually defended the formula as 'worth it to keep the UK together', even though it means that his own constituents get less government help than most of scotland.
where is the sense in that? (and it just goes to prove what idiots there are around here that vote whoever is labour without actually looking at what the person stands for
