"We need Crossrail to keep London's Economy ticking over so that we can continue to pay for the Scottish to live the lifestyle to which they are accustomed."Whilst he may indeed be right about London (and the south east) paying for Scotland, he's supposed to represent the city to the wider world. How can he claim to be a champion of London's diversity by insulting a nation and many of London's population?

Ken has a pop at Scotland
Ken has managed to insult the entire Scottish nation this time. What is it with this man? He's had a pop at Jews, praised Chairman Mao, given hospitality to a Latin american dictator and now he's having a pop at the Scots.

As much as I don't like Ken, I do have to say that there is some merit to the allegation that London is paying for the rest of the country.
I understand completely that in a country you have the large cities which bring in a vast some of the money for a country and so it is only right that it is spread around a bit.
But I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't for the fact that London has some of the worst schools and other social facilities in the country.
Still I don't think Ken's comments exactly helped the debate.
The Times also ran a good article on this a while ago:
