The Edinburgh Festival.

[Gourmander]

The Scottish Parliament has announced that from May this year every citizen will receive a free passport.
A spokesman said that this would help Scots explore other cultures and promote the Scottish way of life.
He also said that the benefits would far outweigh the costs involved.
This comes on top of free hospital parking, free prescriptions, free transport for the unemployed and free dental treatment including private.
Who's paying for all this, will it be England again?

Do you have a link to this? I can't find anything on bbc, skynews or any daily newspaper.

What has that got to do with the Festival?

Are you sure the 'passport' is not entry to some of the events?

[weeal]

gie me strength, your just starting a fight with those lies you bandit lol

[bednobs]

i might be being a bit dim here, but dosent the scottish parliament have a finite amount of money given to them? therefore if they give free hospital parking, free prescriptions etc, they have to spend less on something else, therefore there will be some benefits that people in other countries in the uk get that scotts people dont get because there isn't enough money to get everything for "free"

they will also be given free lessons in highland dancing, and how to conceal your body in a dead haggis as was demonstrated in the film Rob Roy.
