RedRob72 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Limited places in Indian universities and the fact that foreign education is seen as a bonus for Indian employers.We get the money they spend in return so its not really something to get to upset about. Who's getting upset about it? British Universities make a very lucrative business from International students my question was the motivation to request an increase in visas to the UK? is it a brain drain on their workforce or as you appear to suggest newly qualified students head back to potential employers back in India armed with a British Degree. It was a genuine question? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Or they get a degree and join our workforce.Perhaps the motivation is that it benefits his country. It Is supposed to be a two way deal after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point: you showed a glimmer of resistance on the morning after the referendum when you realised England and Wales were going to yank Scotland out of the EU despite every council ward here voting to remain - but then the abject servility kicked in and it was back to "yes, Sir - may I have another, Sir?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such anger! Still I understand. It can't be easy being on the losing side of an independence referendum. Don't worry the hurt will fade and you will be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the supreme court tell him to do one and to raise their own action if they want to plead a case for Scotland to have it's own vote.

Imagine not wanting Scotlands future to be dictated by one tory dictator who rarely steps foot in Scotland. The sensible thing would be just to shut up and offer ourselves to heil Theresa.... Forget law and parliamentary process. Our great dictator should tell us how it is and we should comply with her orders without question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does Scotland get two votes then - 1 in Parliament and 1 in Holyrood? Hardly seems fair and appears rather anti-democratic. Sturgeon can bleat on about having an equal say but unfortunately the constitutional arrangement in place at this time do not support such an arrangement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP and Scottish Government don't have much of a choice in this, they have to be seen to be doing whatever they can to push Scotlands interests, as well as independence. Taking no action would see them slaughtered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they have waited for the ruling and then decided to try and get involved at the appeal stage. The cynic in me sees them using the inevitable rejection by the Supreme Court to allow any submission from the Scottish Government as more "the UK doesn't care about Scotland's wishes" rhetoric from the SNP. We will see over time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see over time. They were outspoken from the start and there was no need to get involved in the original case, they weren't going to be able to impact it. Now it's all posturing, being seen and being heard because if they don't they will take a hammering amongst their core support. And if they do say what you suggest they will, which is very likely, they won't be wrong. Whatever happens I don't really give a f*ck anyway. I think Scotland would be better served out of both unions and worse off being in one but not the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they will be wrong, unless you are suggesting that the Supreme Court will be deciding based on politics rather than law. If so then you will also be ready to excuse the behaviour of all those that have been accusing the High Court of the very same. Whilst critical of the previous judgement, I have every confidence that the decision was made by the judges using their interpretation of the law and not on political grounds. I am confident that the Supreme Court will do likewise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
