I’ve heard the Pound, the Euro and their own currency from the Natz spokespeople. I’d have thought having currency would be quite important for a country. Perhaps bartering will figure high in their economic strategy.

I know very little of Scottish politics but I doubt that there more to it than the fact we are mostly unionist and so a target for the snp.

What a fucking disgrace to the memory of those brave Servicemen and Servicewoman who gave their all in order to keep Britain - BRITISH

Now we have fucking nutjobs trying to to what other hostile countries (at the time) could not do.

I thank those who have fallen and those still serving for my freedom today.

See your last sentence there - ‘it’s the most favourable loan anyone can get’ - that makes it a debt. You can argue to your heart’s content, but it is a debt. And a 21 year old coming out of uni, with potentially £40k approx debt from uni fees is wrong, imo. The SNP don’t levy that debt. Fair play to them.

Im kind of on the fence with this one .

As much as we all want to see a free education at university , can we afford it ? Some of these graduates , a few years down the line , will be making the kind of money that the rest of us can only dream about . Is it that bad to expect them to pay a bit back once they're on a decent wage ? You can't help but think it would Improve our education system further , instead of an across the board hike in taxes . 

One thing I'm not on the fence about is the free prescriptions.  Iirc , I think just over 90% of Scots qualified before it became ' free ' . That means the 10% that could easily afford it are the ones to have gained out it . Given the state of our health system right now I reckon we could be doing with that extra funding right now . 

Edit - not aimed at you specifically,  but I think it's time to move this out of BD - starting to feel guilty posting this in here

Yes, let’s cut to the chase. I went to uni and was not charged tuition fees. My daughter went to uni and was not charged tuition fees. My partner is just finishing uni and has not been charged tuition fees. A Scottish uni education is free to Scottish pupils.

All my kids have had/are having free primary and secondary education as well. As did I, and you, unless you went to a fee paying school.

They also have had/are having free health care. As have I, and you (almost certainly).

They also have had/are having free dental care (eventually). As did I, and probably you.

I’m worried here. Down the rabbit hole Lewis Carrol kind of monetary exchange will be happening. Can I buy a certain saddle for my Unicorn that’s all fluffy and doesn’t hurt him while I ride him to go see the Kelpies and the Loch Ness monster?  Get a fucking grip man!

i would say even the most leftist or those on the other side, the SNP voters would admit that being a Rangers fan and Rangers itself are demonised and hated by the SNP and all who ride in her in scotland today and that they wished we didnt exist

so what do you think would happen if you woke up tomorrow in an independent scotland? full of brotherly love for us? fair play in the SFA/SPFL? keeping the queen? keeping the orange walks? the UB or any large amount of Rangers fans walking down the street to be safe?/not arrested for some made up charge? applying for a job/college place with a noticeable UJ/Rangers tattoo or being a good looking guy so must be a H*N?

 

answers to this and more on next weeks soap

Oooooh, capital letters again!!!!

University education was regarded as free. We all know that. And it still is, in Scotland - which it is, at source. Just like health, as you covered there. When our young people walk into a lecture they are not charged in this country. They are in England. When we walk into the emergency department we are not charged.

And I will continue supporting that ideology. It’s an ideology that believes that young people shouldn’t be saddled with huge amounts of debt, just to get a good education.

Re higher taxes - I potentially support that, but a different approach may be more beneficial.  Cuts in services? I think they still happen in countries which charge for university education? Don’t they? And that’s down to the incompetence and weakness of government - here and elsewhere.

unless you come from anywhere else but England, Northern Ireland or wales

STV news tonight, 14 arrests for public disorders following orange walk on Saturday. Then went on to say a few were for sectarianism singing and they will view CCTV.  This is what we are up against. There are more arrests on a Saturday night and STV would not report it.
