    University tuition fee hike will hit 100,000 of this year's unlucky students

    Yeah, meanwhile keep on making threads about freaking football jerseys and discuss about "if the UK should cut all ties with the EU".

    University education is free to Scottish students in Scotland.

    By free, I mean paid for by taxes.

    No doubt it would be considered an affront to the EU, that there is no conformity in how this is run.

    So, it isn't free for e.g. English students who relocate to Scotland?!

    If they kick out the rioters that started fires, turned over cars and destroyed businesses....perhaps you would have more space in those universities.

    No, though it is free to other EU students who study there because that's EU rules. The EU doesn't apply those rules to English students studying in Scotland because it feels that's a "domestic" issue. EU students are supposed to pay back their loans, but in reality often don't because they don't reach the earnings threshold, especially those from Eastern Europe.

    It won't be long before everyone in Britain is on £6 and hour, wage slaves of the ruling LibLabConBanker elite.

    More and more people are finally waking up to the dystopia of a society where everyone works in Tescos and McDonalds and a few fat-cats hoover up all the wealth while everyone else STARVES. This is the reality of neo-capitalism and it must be stopped.

    The 21st century slave boats that go between African and Southern Europe bring in thousands more wage slaves every day to drive down YOUR wages, these people are then shipped through the channel tunnel and straight into British business to drive down living standards. Cameron, Brown, BLiar - these bastards will go down in history as the men who destroyed a good country for their own personal greed and corruption.

    Ah yes, good education so you can pay enough tax to sustain a multicultural state. but if there to many immigrants who in general contribute nothing ( not talking about EU immigrants) the system will not be able to sustain itself.

    Take the Netherlands and Denmark.

    8 percent and 4 percent non western immigration. 60 and 57 percent of all wellfare spending goes to these two groups. Not sustainable.

    This is indeed true and it defines what the problem is with Western Europe.

    I guess you made that up.

    What's welfare, DutchClogCyborg?

    Child benefits? Education? Admission to the hospital? Unemployment benefits? etc.

    Besides, stop being such an American or British wannabe.

    "welfare", in the English language, means:

    In, Dutch, however, welfare translates as "welvaart" or "welzijn" (= "well-being).

    Welvaart translates as "prosperity".

    BTW -- good luck with your massive wave of budget cuts as pronounced on Prinsjesdag by the Queen, yesterday. :fart:
