The Express today has a report based on the Scottish Conservatives’ reading of a Freedom of Information request on ambulance. Their report has no figures and only two or three individual cases picked out as extreme waits. That says it all. They really have nothing beyond a few cases.
Here are some facts:
There are some minor problems in comparing the data for England and Scotland but you can be sure that were they to favour the former, they’d be widely reported. Here’s why they’re not:

Footnote:
Comparing median and mean ambulance response times can be useful, but each metric provides different insights, and their comparability depends on the data’s distribution and context. Here’s a breakdown:
- Mean (Average) Response Time: The sum of all response times divided by the number of responses. It gives a general sense of typical performance but is sensitive to extreme values (e.g., a few very long response times can skew the mean upward).
- Median Response Time: The middle value when all response times are ordered. It represents the point where half the responses are faster and half are slower, making it less affected by outliers and often a better measure of “typical” performance in skewed datasets.

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
At the risk of boring everyone reading this comment, this article is merely a continuation of the propaganda that the Scottish people have been subjected to for hundreds of years. As John says, in this particular case, no context in relation to the same services provided south of the border. To reveal that fact would of course make the S.A.S look good in comparison, and that would never do, oh no. As far as the lying, foreign owned, tax avoiding, ex pat owners of these publications are concerned, it is only the headline that matters. The members of the public who buy these rags, are there still some?, or more likely, passers-by who glance at them, only see the bold print, and even the few who do read the article, will only read more words, with, at the most, a passing acknowledgement to the reality. Maybe I’m wrong, but I have always believed the greatest obstacle to our gaining Independence is the M.S.M, led by their cheerleader, the B.B.C, especially the traitors at Pacific Quay. Of course, ably assisted by the Quisling’s in our midst, the Unionist politicians who have sold their birth right for the promise of English gold. But they would be voices in the wilderness if they weren’t backed by the press. So there you are, a corrupt media, along with all the other trappings the British State can muster, are our enemies. Can we defeat them? That’s the rub.
