]]> Comment on Teenagers’ lose high court challenge to overturn tuition fees rise by Anne Palmer http://sqmagazine.co.uk/2012/02/teenagers-lose-high-court-challenge-to-overturn-tuition-fees-rise/#comment-1460 Anne Palmer Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:48:23 +0000 http://sqmagazine.co.uk/?p=8294#comment-1460 Perhaps the Challenge should have been DISCRIMINATION RE NATIONALITY? The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one Country as far as the European Union is concerned. The UK Government ratified EU Treaties to that effect. In no way has each separate Nation or Country (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England) been tied to the EU or in the European Union separately. So, why under the laws of the United Kingdom are University Fees discriminatory one to the other within the United Kingdom? Each of the four parts, Nations of and/or Countries, were all as one for the purpose of ratification of the then European Economic Community Treaty of Rome in 1972, and is still classed as one whole in the European Union of 2011? However, as far as the EU is concerned Scotland is a REGION of the EU, as is Wales and Northern Ireland, England remains as. So, I am looking at the Nationality Discrimination Laws. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and ENGLAND are Nations and Countries in their own RIGHT. Firstly for arguments sake even as one whole Country all University fees or lack of, should all be the same? The EU, NATO, UN, etc class this United Kingdom as one Country. I would suggest, that to charge countries differently in one union is some what odd to say the least? All should be the same. Or if not, is it discrimination re nationality to charge different rates for different nationalities/Countries? Perhaps the Challenge should have been DISCRIMINATION RE NATIONALITY?
