  • Its not always about money, ok can't really think of anything that NI contributes to the UK in return for handouts, but take other parts of the UK suchas Cornwall, tourism is the main moneymaking industry, it can't support the area without extra cash from London taxes, so do you turnoff the handouts and get them to distroy the countryside with intensive farming or openpit mines.
