Here we have another of those Freedom of Information requests by the opposition parties stored up to try to maintain the SNPbad narrative through the holidays.
You’ve already seen the Tory ones on ambulance and fire statistics. Here we have the Lib Dems reporting:
More than 10,000 ferry sailings cancelled due to faults – Freedom of information data obtained by the Scottish Lib Dems showed 10,809 sailings were cancelled since January 2023. Lib Dem MSP Jamie Greene said: “These figures reveal just how much chaos the SNP are causing island communities.
“Our island communities are being treated as second-class citizens, lacking the basic right to access the same public services as mainland Scots.
Why did they add up the data for January 2023 to January 2025 and then top up with the February to end April data? To get the more than 10 000 headline, of course.
Is 10 809 a lot of cancellations? At face value, many will be impressed but, CalMac average 162 700 sailing per year, 325 000 in those two years plus another 40 000 for February to April 2025, giving a total of 365 000.
10 809 is thus only 2.9% of sailings cancelled due to repairs – 97.1% reliability!
