Iris Duane: “For many Palestinian students currently stuck in Gaza, a place in a Scottish university is a lifeline.”

I would question the relevant Scottish Government ministers at the first opportunity.

Too often transnational corporations, who have never walked our streets, are plonking down PBSAs with little regard for those who already live there.

When speaking to students, they often feel as though their PBSAs were not good value for money, proving that the only people benefiting here are those who are profiting.

We have a moral duty as a country to help others in need, and maintain our status as a welcoming, kind and caring country that wants to see people succeed no matter whether they were born here or born in Palestine.
