    Massive interview last night with Derek Mackay on the ferries.

    It must have gone well.

    Derek Mackay: CalMac ferry cost overruns a 'scandalous state of affairs' | STV News

    He claimed it was 'a scandalous state of affairs but not a scandal'. What's that supposed to mean?

    What was a scandal was him picking up over £100K in taxpayers cash after he resigned despite never actually attending parliament.

    Thank goodness for Barnett which means as you say more money can go in to health, worth about £2K per person in Scotland. Why do you want to give up this extra funding again?

    £1,963 per person more according to Scottish Government figures.

    60 people a week are dying in Scotland due to A and E waiting times and Humza is doing a "good" job? Why can't all the politicians being doing a really bad job?

    I really don't get this mindset of defending literally anything because it's Scottish.

    That's not the mindset on display though, is it?

    Time for me to take a break from some posters on here.

    40 I'd read. Pretty similar to England and Wales

    It's veing reported in the news, although one medical person said the reporting was making it look like it was A&E issues when it's actually a mixture of long waiting lists, higher than expected death rates across a number of illnesses etc etc, and then all those varying figures getting rounded up into one number.

    Like many people do when they want to get a point over using statistics, you can paint the picture you want with real numbers and selective reporting.

    All that said, the NHS is definitely struggling across a number of areas and clearly needs improvements.

    Edit.. it was someone from BMA Scotland

    Why do you think that?

    What do these expert Doctors at the BMA know eh? We should just ignore them.

    16 consecutive days of strikes across the country going ahead. Not great news.

    168 students got into law at Edinburgh from Scotland all from the most deprived group. 555 from Scotland applied from different backgrounds, all got rejected. 70 students got in who paid 25k.

    It's great the most deprived are getting in and I'd rather that than the opposite. But whilst universities are run as purely money making machines, a big portion of places will be kept for upper class foreign students

    Students from Castlebrae our Leith academy getting into Edinburgh uni rather those from Stewart's Melville or Edinburgh academy widening opportunity for those in deprived areas.

    A record number of young Scots going to uni

    Where's the bad news?

    I agree but there should also be kids from Broughton, Royal High and Craigmount.

    That's not really fair either though, is it? If there's a limited number of places going to Scottish people, and there's a disproportionate push to get people from more deprived areas which squeezes the numbers from less deprived areas down to the point where they're struggling to get in then there's something equally as wrong with the system as we would have if there was a push to not let people from derived areas into universities.

    I wonder if I got into Edinburgh before all of this took hold, or if I was classed as being part of their scheme for more deprived areas. A good few of us from my school got into Edinburgh fairly easily (unconditional offers after 5th year) thinking back.

    According to the report, the uni said they were making a sustained effort to widen access.

    Maybe they'll change that again next year and balance things out.

    It's the way of the world. On social media, people complain about EVERYTHING. Universities will be criticised whatever they do, even if they've made a concerted effort to widen access to local students.

    Welcome to the future.

    Leith doesn't qualify. So no kids from leith can do law at Edinburgh regardless of how good they do. I'd rather our system that England and its brilliant all these more deprived schools get places, but leith curry kids should have a chance too
