* A sausage factory in the central belt being closed requiring the presence of the First Minister whilst a similar closure of Youngs seafood factory requiring no visit
* the shipyard at Greenock being brought into public ownership to save jobs then going tits up whilst jobs are being lost in the northeast but we are told that new jobs to replace them should be distributed around the country
* Prestwick airport (only 40 miles from a major international airport) being brought into public ownership at great annual expense whilst lifeline airports struggle
* Rangers and Celtic
* public spending in the central belt being far far higher than in other parts of the country
* hidden subsidy (beyond the public spending above) to the central belt e.g. Glasgow subway, national ********* etc.
I hope this begins to help. I could go on.
