Like the West Lothian question it is one of those things that highlights the unfairness of devolution for the English. Whatever the SNP claims about 'Scotland's oil' Scotland has and continues to be a net beneficiary of public spending, and even if free university for Scottish students in Scotland is a result of how Scots chose to allocate the money they get through the Barnett Formula, the inequity of Scots and EU students going free while English students have to pay for university in Scotland is obvious. The system ensures that fewer English students, apart from the posh and or wealthy set that favours Edinburgh and St Andrews will study in Scotland and that fewer Scots will chose to study in England, thus pushing the countries further apart.
