Was is this obsession the English have with paying less tax and having worsening public services. It’s the opposite mindset of the Scandinavian countries. They enjoy high wage, high tax and great public services.

People who earn under £26,561 a year in Scotland actually pay less tax than the rest of the UK. It's higher earners who are more capable of paying that pay more tax.

I mean Scotlands population is so low that the taxes of england completely covers the cost of all these things. There are 5.7 milion people in scotland. England has 57 million people by comparison I dont know for sure if scotland does self fund or not. Using just their taxes, but even if they do the books look very different scaling it up to ten times the scale.
Your Right you don't Know. Start with the UK fiscal budget only circa 30% comes from direct Taxation. Tax from corporates, invisibles, trade, VAT and revenue from stealth tax and many other streams make up the balance. The UK before leaving the EU had a BoP that needed less Govt borrowing from the BoE, now the deficit is serviced by Debt. The UK trade deficit has widened to around £(200)B at the same time invisible revenue has fallen. Scotland has always had a Trade Surplus and the Devolved Government is financed by a percentage of Scotland's Direct Taxation. Net flow of Tax and revenue to the Exchequer from Scotland is positive.
Whilst I’m no fan of the BBC, could it be that nobody is interested in what the SNP leader has to say? After all their previous administration led the people of Scotland down a dead end road for years and he was part of said administration!

Don’t pay for university tuition only matters if your going to a university that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard this guy is nuts what if the person isn’t going to a university what than they are stuck with raised taxes taxes should be individualized to be honest but they will never do that I suppose
Just because you were not good enough for university, doesn't mean that the many others that are, should land in £thousands of debt, just for learning.
It's called playing economics to benefit society as a whole. By cutting tuition fees, younger people have more money/less debt, meaning it's easier for them to purchase a home, which takes them out of the hands of the rich, thus benefitting the 99% rather than the 1%.
