NUS Scotland in Labour bias shocker!

This piece, which features on the NUS website, makes the staggering claim that ''the SNP have joined Scottish Labour [sic] in coming out against fees''.

I attempted to comment on this frankly hilarious piece of revisionism on their site, but it has yet to appear. It may be languishing in moderator limbo or as I cannot see any other comments, perhaps such luxuries are reserved for card carrying NUS members.

Does NUS Scotland think the student's have been fast asleep for the last decade?

We all know that Labour are the party who introduced tuition fees through the back door, abandoning completely the principle of education as a right and the idea of the Democratic Intellect. The SNP on the other hand abolished the £2000+ Graduate Endowment in 2008 and increased student support. Without this myself, and scores of other Scots would not have made it to University, not for want of intellect, but for the unforgivable crime of not being born into wealth. No, it is not the students, but NUS who have spent the last decade asleep. When they wake up to the situation, or rather 'if', they will find Scotland and the world much changed.   

While I welcome Labour in Scotland's conversion to the principle of free education, forgive me for being skeptical, given its timing, and their track record. Everyone, even NUS Scotland, knows that it is the Labour group in the Scottish Parliament who have joined the SNP on this policy and not the other way round. It is the desperate acts of a party on the run, bereft of ideas, looking to the SNP for leadership. Well, they could learn a thing or two...free of charge!
