Both sensible and discriminatory.

However I would like to hear the SNP agrguement if the other 3 nations in the UK said they were prioritising there own population and Scotland was at the back of the queue.
It would be another reason to hate the Westminster Parliament.

The Scottish government has issued plans to prioritise Scottish medical students over RUK (rest of U.K.) students in order to boost the number of doctors in the Scottish NHS. Applicants from the EU will be unaffected.

Sensible or discriminatory?
