Of course you can. Pretty sure these folk werent phoning from 35000 feet. More like <10000 as they were plummeting to the ground. I've done that before (the phoning bit, not the plummeting to the ground bit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 This sort of stuff is normally reserved for ‘nationalist Twitter’. I follow a few of the types and they’re utterly immersed in a constantly seething world, getting outraged at literally anything (shortbread tins was the big one yesterday) and RT’ing each other’s ‘witty’ responses to Labour or Conservative MSP’s. Little wonder we have such a polarised political spectrum when similar alternative universes exist for all parties and causes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they seek out his deputy? Another government minister? Did they ask him for a statement which they could read out? No I don't think they did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
