Why do people get annoyed at Scottish Uni Fees?

Read previous posts- not our fault.

How does that even imply in the slightest that he doesn't know where Scotland is?

The thing which annoys me is that EU countries also get uni for free, but English students don't.

Read what I've said again, and find the bit where I said Scottish people don't pay British taxes..

Wish people would learn to read carefully before using the internet....

Because he somehow can't comprehend that Scotland pays towards British taxes, which it does. Being whiny and bitchy towards Scottish people when it isn't actually their fault does no one any good. Just makes you look like you are uninformed.

Yes? Doesn't mean that you should continue to whine about Scotland. I know it is unfair, but sitting about whining won't solve your problems. Think of another tactic then to try and get free education in England? Campaign for a devolved parliament perhaps?

What you really should be complaining about, is that you haven't got your own devolved parliament to make these decisions for you, in your best interest.

I disagree with the fact that you don't get free education, I think the SNP are silly the way they are spending money, giving out free stuff left, right and centre, but there isn't anything I can do about it.

Nobody is being whiny towards Scottish people.




Again nobody is whining like others have said you should read comments properly before commenting.

Fair enough. You didn't say it explicitly but your post implied it.

Why don't you put your time and energy in trying to get a fairer education system for yourself, rather than bitching about something that isn't actually the people of Scotland's fault?

Try and get a devolved parliament or something? I realise it is unfair, and I disagree with it, but you aren't showing yourself in the best light, complaining about it as though we all wanted it.

Looks like it to me, perhaps you should make that clearer in your posts? Hard to get tone on the internet remember.

Also, if you aren't being whiny by saying 'Oh it is so unfair' what are you being?

Oh my word... STOP ASSUMING THINGS.

1. I don't dislike the university fees in England
2. I never said that it was the people of Scotland's fault and I don't think this.
3. How would I go about getting a devolved parliament? I don't want a devolved parliament, I want nobody to have one. I want one single government in Westminster.
4. I haven't said that you wanted it.

Maybe you should take a second to actually read the comment before replying, there's a thought.

I'm not being anything, I just think equity is very important.

So then what is your problem?

That "set amount of money" comes from British taxes. *face palm*

I've often heard people on TSR saying how angry we are that here in Scotland our Unis are free.

Surely that's just how we choose to use the money given to us?

And also, it benefits thousands of people - without them there is no way I could afford to go to uni.

Discuss?

That Scotland has a devolved parliament that gives them free tution fees, all funded for by UK taxes, those coming from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Sorry, what did I miss?

And you aren't being anything, so you are neutral on this issue?

Im annoyed becuase my law teacher told me that
the same Sottish mp/parliment members who voted for no fees in Scotland, came down and voted in our (England's) vote as to wether we had to pay or not. And they voted that we should carry on paying. that not very nice.
