Brighton school slams "anti-English" Scottish university (From The Argus)

This strikes me as a total non-issue. Furthermore the article says that Edinburgh Uni has made its selection and admissions policy clear on its website. The real eejits here are Mr Cairns and his "careers teachers", who clearly didn't bother to read the policy and mis-advised their poor fee-paying students into making a pointless application. Rather than admit their ineptidude, they then start making lurid ludicrous attitudes of "racism".

Security-word: Yawn-fees

Perhaps its because Brighton College pupils are the most irritating humans in Brighton. I would rather share my bus with the chavs

Mr Cairns thinks it is outrageous that any university should discriminate against young people because of where they live.

I can't help noticing that his school discriminates against young people who don't have privileged backgrounds.

Mr Cairns has a natural contempt to Brighton as being intellectually inferior to his home city of Oxford - his comments should be aimed at promoting Brighton and Sussex universities and everything that this city has to offer rather than making irrelevant comments about Scottish Universities.

No sympathy for them, they have too much in the way of advantage anyhow.

Check out Andrew Grant, the leader of the HMC (a body representing fee-paying schools) "Without Britain's public schools, how are we supposed to provide officers for our armed forces?"
Enough said, end the whole charade now, these people think they are too "special". In fact they appear to think of themselves as an entirely seperate species. The time for pointing out to the likes of Andrew Grant and his ilk, that they are merely human like the rest of us and they are only where they are because of privelige, has long passed. Offering paltry scholarships designed to be just too that bit little for the "ordinaries" too make up the rest and then grasping charity status on the back of these pathetic offerings just does not wash.

Schools such as Eton were originally set up for the education of the scholarly poor, not the chinless wonder, demon spawn offspring of the middle class!! The fact that this situation exists at all is beyond disgusting.

Scottish racism against England is nothing new. They quickly forget that without England, Scotland is not worth an old shoe. Their banks would not survive one day without the backing of English tax payers.

Scotland has a separate funding council for its Universities, a different educational system, different qualifications and different policies (e.g. no fees). In fact, for these reasons, it is quite difficult for Scottish students to get into some English Universities.

Edinburgh University was also sick of being flooded by applications from English Public Schools, as it was seen as a target for Oxbridge rejects. It was producing a skew towards well-off, public school types. They want a more balanced social mix, and more local students. It's Brighton College that's selective and elitist, literally throwing out students that may reduce its ratings. Cairns is a old-fashioned snob, who 'sells' elitism and selection but doesn't like it when it's applied to his students.

Aah, diddums, poor white rich kids. So discriminated against. How will they ever overcome this hideous abuse?

Racist? And then you go on to make anti scottish remarks. We're the same race as you , idiot. As for banks not being able to stand, haven't you ever heard of Adam Smith, who anyone who has ever done economics has! he was the cornerstone of economics fer chris'sake.We all know you are a paranoid delusional Bibble, but i didnt know you were so intolerant and bigoted. Scotland has always been able to stand on its own two feet financially. Never heard of North Sea oil? Oh and Scottish people pay tax too you know. Everytime you log in you just become more outlandish.
All joking aside i hope you are receiving counselling for whatever trauma you have suffered.

As for that teacher accusing Edinburgh University of being racist, well i would expect better from someone who is supposed to be educated. If you honestly cant tell the difference between different regions and different races then woebetide your students education.

What exactly is racist about pointing out the insolvency of Scottish banks?
.
Adam Smith is not the "cornerstone" of economics. He had one particular view. Many other people have had views. Keynes, Hayek and so on. Keynes was arguably far more important in the time after WW1 than Smith.
.
Scotland cannot stand on its own two feet. That is a bare faced lie. The Scottish banks, in particular RBS, are insolvent. Without the English tax payers' money, they would have collapsed. That is called a fact. Do you really think that Scotland could have stomached a £20 billion plus loss? You should try being a stand up comedian. Scotland is like Iceland.
.
English tax payers directly contribute more to Scotland on a per head basis than they do to England.
.
Scotland standing on its own two feet financially? Don't make me laugh.

I cant ever imagine you laughing Bibble.

ALL very odd, yes it is unacceptable to make racist comments about Scotland. I also find it unacceptable to make comments about children who are privately educated. The city has been torn apart by champagne socialist parents who do not want their kids educated with the likes who live on council estates and manipulate the state run schools in this city to their own ends, I think those who dip into their own pockets to educate their kids who they would like are more honourable

Scots have long had the mistaken belief that North Sea oil is Scottish. It is not. The fact that it is piped to Scotland is irrelevant.

I know how much RBS has cost the English tax payers in the last two years. If RBS had not had the backing of England, it would have failed. There is not enough money in Scotland to prop it up. Without that prop it is nothing. It is worth less than nothing.

You can't have my address, no.

There is no error in my perception. I suggest you go and look up "Scottish racism against England." You will find many examples, including Scottish newspapers making T shirts supporting England's World Cup opponents. This is not the harmless fun that some people tried to pretend it was. It was anti-English racism.
.
Don't try and pretend it does not exist. It does.

I love these articles. They always bring out the whiners: "I'm a lazy ****, thus I hate anyone who's made some dosh."

I didn't buy one of those shirts and they weren't being distributed by the government.So some wee guy with a T-shirt printing business is selling a shirt that he thought was quite funny and thought it would make him some money,this has you believing the whole of Scotland is anti-English?And you say you're perception is not warped!

Anyway, who remembers when a few years ago Brighton College started a type of bursery scheme aimed at giving poor kids the chance of a better education. Was it for the locals? No the Argus featured photos of the first teenagers to benefit from Brighton College's outreach scheme - Black Kids from London. It was decided by the College that these kids were more deprived than the ones on their doorstep; and that black ones must be even more so. Now that's racism and bias.
