Another truth bomb

[Deebunked]

OK. It always seems to me that calling anyone names isn't as effective as explaining the error of their arguments. EG Debunked gives evidence that more native Scots are in tertiary education. Islay was wrong on that specific point, but the unis themselves are very worried about there reliance on their funding model that is based on very low levels of funding for Scottish students and high fees for students from countries that are rapidly increasing the performance of their home grown universities. Scottish students fees are paid by all taxes and it should be a concern about the dependence of revenues from non Scottish students. That's a rational economic argument and not in any way anti immigrant, or racist, imo.

Around 40% of Scottish Uni funding comes from those international tuition fees.

What's really hurting is the approx 19% drop in funding from Scot Gov after inflation, that needs to be addressed so Scottish students continue to receive the free education the country expects.

Free at the point of use - same as the NHS

Free at the point of use is without cost to the user by any definition. Of course you can be pedantic and say 'somebody has to pay' or 'we all pay' but pedantry is exactly what that is.

Your "f*ck it someone else is paying" attitude is exactly why this country is f*cked.

Most ridiculous post I have ever read on this board

It's not about '**** it somebody else is paying', I'm paying but am happy that anyone can achieve a good education or walk into a doctor's surgery with a medical problem without needing to prove they have £000 available. Education and health care are not things that should be restricted only to the privileged and they should be free at the point of use.

Have a day off mate you are having a mare re your quotes about the free education. And the only person Islay ties in knots is himself.
