And it is specifically English kids who are paying - not the Scots (whose truition is free), nor the Welsh and Irish (whose tuition is subsidised), but the English who as usual have to carry the bulk of the burden whilst also suffering the bulk of opprobrium simply for the nationality they were born with.<br /><br />The latest scare story is that leaving the EU will lead to the breakup of the UK. Bring it on I say. We'll never have a government that cares for England whilst we remain part of the UK. There's no guarantee after we leave either, but at least there would be a chance of change.Wildgoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14884595915411975940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-16927584051795381962015-12-30T19:23:53.622+00:002015-12-30T19:23:53.622+00:00"Teach those who are ignorant as many things ..."Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, in that it does not afford instruction gratis; it is responsible for the night which it produces.
