Isn't there anyone willing to stand up for the English?

How can this be allowed, surely this is university apartheid?

/// They will be particularly unhappy about the EU arrangements which allow students from anywhere in Europe to get a free education, provided they are not English. ///

Is this not a breach of European Convention on Human Rights, section one, article 14 ?

/// The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.///

I am all for English Independence - go for it

[Bobbisox]

AOG :-)))
Good man eh?

[emmie]

Rich47, now what did we say the other day about independence for the Scots, ummm

[Gromit]

If a Scottish student comes to England to study they have to pay £9000 a year, so why do you expect Scotland to supply a free education to English students?

[rich47]

Hi em, good to know you are on the ball.
Weather beautiful here today and for the foreseeable, so lots of golf
scheduled.

[emmie]

But why are Scottish getting a free ride in the first place, and who pays for it.

[emmie]

I must learn to sloowww down, Scottish Students, apologies.

[Bobbisox]

but back to topic, sorry AOG x

[rich47]

Scottish Students are benefiting from the application of the principle that education is a right and should be provided free, not a commodity to be sold to those who can afford it.

[Bobbisox]

AOG I agree I think it is and I am surprised no one has taken this to the High Court

Rich47 nice here, bit cloudy, but strangely quiet, considering the strike, would have expected riots and battle cries.

The butler sends his best wishes, and hopes you are all well and hearty, Golf, a good walk spoiled, Mark Twain i think?
