Discrimination against the English Student.

A letter in the Western Daily Press on April 8th this year, before the General Election.

We must not accept this discrimination

I am sure we all agree that discrimination is unacceptable in modern society. So if, for example, the message were: “As a white student, you can go to university for free, but as a black student, he must pay £27,000,” there would, quite rightly, be uproar.

Or how about, “You are Christian, so you don’t have to pay, but he is Jewish, so he must pay £27,000.” Quite properly, same result.

So why is it that when the Scottish Government says, “You are Scottish, so you can study for nothing, but he is English, so he must pay £27,000,” no one bats an eyelid?

Discrimination is discrimination and equally despicable. Why is it acceptable against English people?
