Yip, surely the Labour/Tory MSP’s went hard on the ferries at FMQ’s today?

He claimed it was 'a scandalous state of affairs but not a scandal'. What's that supposed to mean?Last edited by He's here!; 12-01-2023 at 04:18 PM.

What was a scandal was him picking up over £100K in taxpayers cash after he resigned despite never actually attending parliament. Originally Posted by He's here!

Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

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? Originally Posted by ronaldo7

£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.

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

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

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. Originally Posted by He's here!

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.Mon the Hibs.

According to the report, the uni said they were making a sustained effort to widen access. Originally Posted by danhibees1875

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. Originally Posted by ronaldo7

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 Originally Posted by ronaldo7
