    You seem to be attempting to muddy the waters by including your own personal prejudices and experiences. What you will find is that Scots are perhaps more capable of scenting your innate Twatossity!! Hence the reason you get such a hard time. I doubt this is confined to Scotland however.

    For the hard of thinking or just clinically stupid lets recap the thread... it was suggested that English parents take their offspring North of the border to secure cheap University places

    I replied and illustrated with an example of the vile racism perpetrated by the Scots towards the English within Scotland - strangely enough I think you would struggle to find similar articles for English attacks on Scots within England.
    My intention was to warn prospective parents that their could be hidden costs that would not surface until you were in Scotland.
    No attempt at muddying any waters ... & just facts as reported by your own media

    I believe you are now as they say ‘pwned’ & your position is untenable.

    Please stop trying to have the last word as it’s becoming a little tiresome - stfu & quit digging

    Neither of my oldest kids (23 & 21) went to Uni - The younger is just about to complete his Air Traffic Controller's course and the elder has just started her own business. A friend's son did a 4 year media studies degree and is working minimum wage in a laundry.

    I specifically said to my kids don't waste your time - if you are not doing anything academic, give university a miss. And whatever you do, don't study IT.

    Glasgow still is a very violent city but I think the violence is concentrated in certain areas and if you are outwith those areas Glasgow is more friendly city than any other in the UK. People are aware that violence can go totally over the top here and casual punch ups don't really happen as much. Teenager did get stabbed to death 200 yards from my door last week though.

    shame on you all

    You really are a bit of a bumpkin refugee aren't you?
