Dateline 5th October: Edinburgh
“Good morning. This is IsAC’s political correspondent Ron Knee speaking to you. I’m standing in front of the Scottish parliament, where a motley crew of demonstrators is preparing to set off on a march through the city. With me is Mr Angus McCoathupp, one of the organisers. Tell me, Mr McCoathupp; what exactly is going on here?”.
‘Aye. Wuz marchin’ cos th’ people aw Scortlund wunt hendependence. Th’ people aw Scortlund wunt ah referendum ken’.
“Erm, actually the name’s Ron. But tell me, wasn’t there a referendum on this matter quite recently? Didn’t ‘the people of Scotland’ as you call them, vote to stay in the Union? Wasn’t the referendum termed ‘a once in a lifetime event’ by the SNP?”.
‘See youse Jimmy, that wus then, this is noo, ken’.
“Ron. But Mr McCoathupp, all the polls suggest that the majority of Scots don’t want another referendum, and that if there was one, you’d lose again. Then what would happen?”.
‘Aye. Wull. Then we’d stamp wa little feet an’ shout an’ scweam and scweam, cos aw them Unionists is traitorous Tory scum, an’ they’re auld, an’ theck as mince, and didna ken wut they wus votin’ aboot… o’ flewer o’ Scortlund…’.
“Yes, well, thank you Mr McCoathupp (and might I suggest that you seek medical advice about that swivelling eye?). This is Ron Knee, for IsAC, returning you to the studio”.
Nominated by Ron Knee
