Taffin Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'm maybe misinterpreting how 'hoose jock' is being used but isn't it a pretty offensive thing and not to those it's currently being aimed at? Also, if my understanding of its usage is correct isn't it applicable to the entirety of Scotland after we soiled ourselves in 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you misunderstood the point. It was about the British establishment tearing itself to bits. Something along the lines of the party of law and order pretending not to understand what laws mean and thinking the laws don't apply to them. Watching some of them try to scramble on to the moral high ground and others try to defend the indefensible. Partying long into the night to deliver the largest Covid death toll in Western Europe and counting the illegally acquired proceeds from your sponsors PPE contracts while toasting the mother of a nonce. Makes you proud to be British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 They should have come clean at the start. Because they denied doing anything wrong for so long it's harder to give a reliable explanation that people will trust. And because there is probably more to come. It's not just the politicians. Civil servants were at events. And the Police who provide security will have known also. Good luck coming up with a reliable explanation. I think the best option is just to backdate Downing Street with parallel universe status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a can of worms they probably don't want to open. (1) who wrote the rules? (2) what about everyone else who's been fined for breaking those rules? Regardless of the findings about him attending the party with his wife which was definitely not a work event as we've all seen the invitation, he remains guilty of having lied about abiding by the rules.
