I feel quite lucky to be British and Scottish, would hate that to change![/quote] Why would it have to? You can have dual citizenship, proper dual citizenship as well. Double lucky. [quote][i]Originally posted by stuartmitchell[/i] In addition much has been made of Scotland "propping" up the rest of the UK?!? I don't think that's really the case but if it is, I'm quite proud that my Tax is helping those in poverty in England, Wales and N Ireland AND Scotland! Bigger picture in my eyes. [/quote] It is the case, the factual case not just a fabrication from thin air. [url]http://archive.today/vcQ78[/url] The irony in thinking your tax money is helping the bigger picture is if you actually looked at the bigger picture you would see people feeding their families from food banks whilst millionaire bankers that caused them in the first place continue to pick up bonuses for shafting everyone else. I think your pride is misplaced. [quote][i]Originally posted by stuartmitchell[/i] See much of the problem with the SNP is that they strive for a fairer society yet they reduced college places up here by 140000 + LOADS of jobs in Further Education. They then reallocated the budget to allow students to go University for free. The problem? Well only 2-3% of kids in poverty actually go to University with more preferring to go to College for a variety of reasons! I am sure that is mirrored in England too? I see loads of CV's every day of kids who have studied electrical or mechanical engineering at college with very average grades at school who have gone on to do extremely well for themselves. Surely that's the way to create a fairer society? Let's not forget that many kids go to University and could be funded by their parents or do as you do in England and use student loans! It's a no brainer, better together for me every time! :thumbs: [/quote] We have the highest number of people in Higher Education on record and the current Government are funding College places at a higher level than any other Scottish Government thus far. Not sure where you're getting your hocus pocus figures from? The problem you are highlighting is poverty not converting those born into poverty into Degree students. If we had control of our own finances we could do something about it but we don't. [/quote]
