England forks out for the rest of the UK.

I read this in a (respectable) newspaper today and have read such statistics before. Northern Ireland has a 70% dependency on public funding, Wales comes in at 64% and Scotland, lower, at 55%. England ranges from 64% (North East) down to 31% in London. I'm not English but I am wondering if English people feel resentment -especially Londoners and those from the South- that their tax money is being used to bumper up economies elsewhere?

we all contribute for the good of the country, it used to be steel and coal from Wales, shipbuilding from Ireland, oil and shipbuilding from Scotland and industry from england, besides many other thing that we all contributed, working together made us the great nation that we are. Lets not let anyone spoil it with petty nationalism.
