I've always been convinced he's a wrong-un.
You can tell a lot about people by their looks.

I’ll honestly say I’ve never heard of him til the news on R4 today but it made my skin crawl. I was hedge cutting and was thinking on that scene from Fargo.

Wood chipper?

Burn the witch!

I wouldn't call him a witch, why would you call him that or suggest burning him?

Are you suggesting that it's not possible to tell if someone is of suspicious character from what you see of them?

Yes. The pseudo-science of physiognomy was utterly discredited in the last century, along with phrenology etc.

But you are trying to change the inference, you wrote about 'looks', now you're retreating to 'what you see of them...' Keep digging...

Their looks are what I see of them, do you disagree?

If you're happy to trust anyone regardless of how they look that's your choice.

I'll continue to go on instinct until I know more about them.

Well, I wrote to keep digging, and you have.

Are you the 5yo that did the drawing?

And now trying to change the subject.

And now trying to change the subject.

Not really, just trying to understand the reason for your lack of response.

Predator. And not the cool one that Arnie fought in the jungle.

Derek Mackay: Scottish finance secretary quits over messages to boy

Derek Mackay admits he has "behaved foolishly" after a newspaper reports that he sent 270 messages to a 16-year-old boy.

The SNP were the first to throw stones. But the irony is that they argue that 16 year-olds are mature enough to vote in any upcoming Independence Referendum as well as any General Election. So why aren't they mature enough to enter into an online discussion with an SNP minister?
Perhaps any SNP supporters on here could defend their contradictory policy.

I'm not replying as a SNP supporter, but wasn't the boy under 16 when it started.

He’s 42 and the kid 16?

 

[Agrivator]

I'm neither defending nor condemning the Minister.

All I'm saying is that the SNP were the first to emit howls of protest but are simultaneously adamant that 16-year olds are mature enough to vote. Perhaps they will have a rethink.

They would give three year olds a vote if it helped them win a ref. Unfortunately for them it backfired but I have not heard too much commentary on this.

That would make an ideal Conservative Party political broadcast.

Can someone forward it to Boris?

Most parties have some very unpleasant people lurking in them, the SNP is no different in this regard. I loathe NS and her chums, but I don't for a moment think that the vast majority of them - bolts through their necks thought they have - are nasty like that. But there are a fair number who are and, it appears, their numbers are growing.

I know of several instances in which soldiers serving in Scottish regiments have been in uniform in Scotland and have been assaulted because they had a Union Flag on them. My understanding, and I'm open to correction here, is that the nasty side of the SNP shows itself solely in the Central Belt.

Soldiers in uniform being assaulted on the street is an absolute disgrace I don't care what badge or flag they wear. That is appalling.

Old enough to vote but not old enough to groom? Bloke is clearly a wrong un.

Around here people are generally supportive of the forces.
