Another argument against free higher education is that Scottish universities are worse funded than universities south of the Border because student numbers are capped while in England universities can admit as many students as they want (with some important exceptions). I sometimes worry that the debate about funding higher education will get caught up in the magical having-our-cake-and-eating-it thinking that landed us with Brexit. So who do they think they’re kidding when they say it’s all in hand? And who do they think they’re kidding when they claim it will turn out grand? So who do they think they’re kidding when they say they’ve got it fixed?
