NotThePars Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The delightful thing about Scottish history is that it is the least parochial history of any country on the planet since, by dint of the AofU, the Jock diaspora changed the face of the modern world.And that the study of Scottish history has come on leaps and bounds in the 21st century under the aegis of the SNP and several well-placed nationalists in the universities is another tick in the box for the Natters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotGov hampering students studying outside of Scotland is. Anyone from any country has to pay tuition fees outside of their own country and that applies to english students studying in Scotland. 8 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: There is, though, a substantive point which is that ScotGov hates young ones studying outside of Scotland and also wants border guards at Gretna. How does it feel being an island within an island? This is what you small-minded xenophobes are driving Scotland towards. Just be grateful that we world-affirming unionists are here to save you from yourselves. Nonsense, on gaining Independence we will apply for EU membership, once accepted we will be a member in a club of 27 nations and part of the biggest trading bloc the world has ever seen. Sadly england our neighbours will be an isolated island facing hefty trading tariffs. Edited November 19, 2020 by SandyCromarty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Scottish students are being denied* the life-changing opportunity to experience living and studying in a far-off land that according to unionists... *checks notes*... is culturally, linguistically, socially, and politically no different to Scotland. * by denied, we don't mean denied, in fact they have precisely the same opportunity as someone from Milton Keynes.

SandyCromarty Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) In June 2012 after english university fees of £9000 were introduced Oxford university, facing a drop in Scottish student applications and having high regard for Scots students, offered Scots students £22,000 in financial support in the form of bursaries and fee waivers.

Gordon EF Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Kind of sums up a certain type of unionist that they visit Kent and think they've travelled the world. Utterly small time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you still pick 1 while maintaining free education for Scottish students is a disgrace you are at it. In a fuckin nutshell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I should add however I'm as relaxed about this as I was about whichever tory it was held a blowtorch to a baby box for 10 minutes till it caught fire as a campaigning tactic.The SNP have failed to consider the pyromaniac build in a Fallout save. Sturgeon must condemn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sufficient to say that I spoiled my ballot at the last General Election and that how I would vote in any future election would depend on where I was registered to vote at the time. I am not a member of any political party. Edit to add: now f**k off you racist windbag. What sort of bellend would spoil their ballot? You could just not go to the polling station. That's just weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a sad wee playbook that has been given to him by his Tory masters and he just blindly parrots the nonsense in it.

Do keep up, Welshy. This was when Scotland was a decent place - before it was overrun by grievance junkies. I find it hard to believe there's a bigger grievance junky than yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
