official figures showing that only 283,080 households north of the border – 12 per cent of the total – pay more in tax than they receive in public services.

Are you shooting the messenger Eric? I'm merely reporting the article.

Your comment in the original post seemed to indicate an opinion on its contents.

Did it? Which bit.
