We pay.
Complex enough?
SAUCE DAMMIT
Because we spend the amount of money set out to us better, oh and it also isn't really 'free'.
Oh and Scottish MPs voted for English fees.
That, frankly it's a joke. It should never be allowed to happen. I'm stick amazed that there isn't more of an up roar in England over it. If it was reversed, Scotland would be raising a militia at the border.
Ketchup please
I don't know of an official sources but I'm sure it's true. I have to pay £3k a year so why shouldn't Scottish?
Scottish government gets a set budget from the UK taxes and our parliament sees fit to spend the money on the population rather than military use or whatever.

You should get the taxes...that you tax.

But in the middle of the week, now my life is complete again. I was so worried that we might not have a pointless Jock bashing thread for another two whole days.
I'd be much happier if no-one had to pay for university because education is a valuable thing and all other things being equal I'd prefer a population with the highest levels of education possible. However as afraser2k says Scotland gets given a set budget and with the Scottish Parliament can choose to spend it however it wishes (within certain prescribed limits since some areas are still not devolved).
