    Sounds fair.

    The old mods on this board were árseholes who banned Dee’s whilst letting their mates away with murder.

    Clique.

    Some on this board just feel the need to argue to suit their narrative.
    I'm just amazed nelms hasn't been blamed yet.
    Is it the case that every school leaver in Scotland, with the relevant qualifications and wants to go to university, will get a place?

    Tell me why it isn't. Restrict if you can to necessities like education and healthcare. Try to bear in mind that many wealthy people will opt to use private facilities rather than publicly available ones. Like I've said, that's what privilege gets you.

    They’ll use private universities?

    Education includes schools, there are private schools. They're also more welcome in the better / higher rated Universities and will be accepted (although the Universities will never admit it) with lower grades than people from mainstream schools who will not fit the 'profile' of that University's normal student - has always happened, that's what privilege gets you of course.

    Will they use public Universities? Are Universities public?

    Are you saying universities are part of the private education system?

    They are not public institutions per se are they? Do they receive 100% government funding? Do they charge students for tuition? One description I've heard for them is not for profit organisations - but yet they're not charities either.

    Let's revisit the original point though.

    Tell me why the children of millionaires are less entitled to free education and health care than those of people on minimum wage. Is it because mummy and daddy can afford better?

    Show me where I said they were less entitled.
