Oleaginous Scottish Git
Dr Rant has never thought very highly of Des Browne, the oleaginous Labour Defence Secretary. He has never understood how Mr Browne has managed to ooze his way so highly up the greasy pole, despite having so little obvious merit. Or maybe this is just normal for New Labour? The Military can’t understand how he got there either. His approach to information is that Pravda would do it better.
Anyway I hadn’t realised he’d specifically acted against doctors. However it’s now clear, from the report at this link that he wanted to reduce GP practice income to reduce NHS cost pressures.
Bastard.
Another new Labour bastard.

I suggest that you take a trip over to the British Army Rumour Service (A.K.A ARRSE) and enquire as to the inhabitants feelings towards the said Jockistanian.
It is quite remarkable that no-one has a good word to say about him. In fact they have a number of nasty ones they use frequently.
Actually, it is not remarkable. The man is a twat - by the standards of ZanuLabour

This link shows his specific anti-GP action.
I suspect the military thoroughly hate him.
Why was Browne promoted over the competent Adam Ingram?
oleaginous SCOTTISH git - Scotch is a drink, Scottish a nationality. Git, however, is spot on.
He's not loved much up here either.
Apologies to our Scottish readers.
Title updated.
-Ed.
The man's a 'hole of the highest order and his inability to fight the political battles required to defend the military (requiring instead that the Chief of the General Staff do it on the steps of MoD instead) just shows what an ineffectual twit the man is.
His willingness to suck on the public teat by holding two ministerial offices at once (Defence and Scotland) proves once and for all the key to the ZanuLab policy strategy: provide inadequate cover (cf, NHS and "nurse specialists") and then, when it does come crashing down around you, blame the legacy.
"oleaginous SCOTTISH git - Scotch is a drink, Scottish a nationality. Git, however, is spot on."
So I suppose I an no longer call drizzle "Scotch Mist" for fear of offending my neighbours over the border?
According to Cambridge Dictionary, Scottish, Scots or Scotch is OK
Aye, but that's the Cambridge dictionary.
We're talking about Scottish here. And in Scottish, Scotch is a drink.
Scotch mist is blurred vision after drinking too much Scotch.
Of course if you want to piss off the Scots then carry on, but bear in mind they have a nationalist government in power that wants independence.
(Did the English learn anything about manners from the collapse of the Empire?)
Where do Scotch eggs fit into all of this?
No
But maybe the English want their independence back now?
PS
Hope the Scotch mist doesn't descend and lead to a wee rammie!
Cheers for changing the title :-)
Scotch is an adjective - so Scotch Mist, Scotch Whisky or Scotch egg are all ok. Scotch on its own, by common useage refers to the Whisky, although it is useage which is rare in Scotland. Although in theory one could describe someone as a Scotch person, this is not common useage - hence either 'a Scot' or 'Scottish' are the correct terms.
Referring to someone as Scotch is not offensive, just ignorant.
FWIW I suspect part of Alex Salmond's plan is to annoy the English enough that they demand their independence (see recent remarks about the house of commons dancing to a Scottish jig).
None of this is relevant to the story - Des Browne is a C*** in any nation and any capacity.
But anyway, Sam Galbraith, neurosurgeon of yon Scottish ilk, was heard to compliment Des on his hair. (Though perhaps that was a question of envy.)
