Nicola Sturgeon

Not my experience when I lived in Scotland. My wife was refused numerous jobs despite being well qualified and experienced, and when she applied for a college course she was told that the course was full despite us subsequently finding out they were struggling to fill all the places.

My kids were also regularly abused for being English
Never happened to me or my family, or as far as I know any of the many English people living around here.Quite a few have moved here and had relatives follow they have felt so comfortable.

I guess that depends where you are I suppose.

I personally love the place, and it was in fairness only a few idiots that spoiled it. Most people were really friendly.

Where was that out of interest ? Where I am in the Borders there are a lot of English and seem to be more arriving all the time ,certainly increased since I arrived 20 years ago and I would have thought any anti Englishness would have surfaced with increasing numbers but as I say not a a sign of it as far as I can tell.
 
Your first paragraph, is complete nonsense.
Even all EU countries don't have the same agreements, some pay no tuition fees here, some pay only a third, some the full whack, depending on the individual agreement with that country. Nothing to do with deliberately excluding the english. I dont think you appreciate how many there are in Scotland, most of the rural countryside is predominantly English people that have settled, or retired from down south etc etc.

Your second i can sympathise with, maybe canvas an SNP northern england branch, for someone to 'moan' on your behalf as she/they do for their voters here.

There is a cohort called something like 'EnglishForYes', who as the name suggests are english resident in scotland regularly campaigning and for scottish independence. Maybe set up your equivalent, or join them or whatever.

I think it is you that is talking nonsense!

No, the EU agreed reciprocal arrangements for Scots, England refused a reciprocal arrangement.Simply that. As an English person living in Scotland I nor my children have been discriminated against once.

Simply not true!

I have also written to my local MP around three years and discussed the matter with her. And she confirmed the above.

A), at no point does that article say it is out of anti-englishness, or fear of too many english students, which is what i said was nonsense. In fact, it says pretty much what i said, just in longer repeating language.

b) the article is actually wrong. the irish northern irish certainly do get free education too, i know this for a fact from people that have had that benefit. Cant say for certain for the welsh but i did read that.

Your nonsense was your interpretation of it, and what you claim is the reason behind it, rather than the fact the english dont get free tuition, which we know as fact. I stand by that, because it is just that, made up.

It would be against EU law if the Scots were independent. They only get away with it as it's considered an internal issue as they are part of the UK. It's clearly discriminatory.
