Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Going off topicI'm not disputing the fact that London (as our nation's capital) generates the largest amount of income and indeed, props up the majority of the country. My point is that Scotland has a different cultural background from England. As does Wales and NI.
I just feel it is rather unfortunate that *some* people believe the myth that England supports everyone who isn't English.

but it does.If the North East of England, also a net receiver of taxes, decided that students could get their university fees paid for, there would be outcry. Similarly, if people from Edinburgh were charged for university fees, people would not be very happy.
Scots get exactly the same benefits of having a degree, but none of the downsides. It is not fair, and the whole argument about tuition fees is about fairness, so let's start here.
