A question about : Free university education for all

Hi after the scottish NO vote a few days ago I felt I had to start a campaign for ALL UK British Citizens who SHOULD be able to get free UK including scottish university education. Lets all get as many interested individuals as we can and take it to parliament.Enough is enough English,welsh and Irish Citizens want the same rights as `other scottish UK citizens =free university education in UK and Scotland for us all and free NHS prescriptions! We are too quick to accept what the government tell us and we need to say NO we want the same rights as everyone else. Mainland europe citizens can get free university education in scotland but welsh and english cannot we are discriminated against and it must be against our rights!title=FrownWE WANT THE SAME FORGET LOANS WE SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO A FREE EDUCATION PAID FOR BY OUR GOVERNMENT

Best answers:

  • The Scots have a bit more metal in their blood than the English.
    Hence why they get walked over less.
    Good luck getting anyone to back you up in the land of the sheep.
  • Look up the Barnett formula - they get more stuff because of this extra tax money they receive
  • Surely you mean Northern Irish citizens rather than Irish citizens.
  • Devolution allowed the Scots to have their own decision making around certain areas and prioritise their spending. Even if they do get more per capita and I'm not even convinced that they do as a proportion of what they pay in (I would need to research it further), it would not be enough to fund free education for all and free presriptions, not to mention free personal care for older people. So, my point is, that in order to deliver on these, they must do without elsewhere. What are you getting instead of free university eductation? I am Scottish and benefited from free university education and I do have empathy as it's something that should be available to all.
