@Malcolm_Offord Presumably you either wrote it yourself or heard it & thought it was acceptable. Either way, it’s a very telling insight into your thought process and trying to cover it up with “I’d had a drink” exposes you as a conman as well as a sleazy individual.

Malcolm Offord@Malcolm_Offord·
The media have been having another pop at me, so here are the full facts for the public to judge for themselves: Eight years ago, in 2018, long before I was appointed a government minister in the Lords, I gave the Burns Night after-dinner speech at a rugby club before a large crowd of members and their friends, wives, husbands, and partners. I must admit, I’d had a bit to drink by then, and finished with a crude joke about the late George Michael, as I had been connecting his songs to Burns’s works. It was intended to be funny through being edgy and shocking, but I’m no Frankie Boyle or Ricky Gervais. Instead of being funny, I made members of the audience uncomfortable and instantly regretted it. I immediately apologised to the club, and made amends by voluntarily donating to the King’s Cross Steelers, the original gay-inclusive rugby union club, to support their travel and participation in the Bingham Cup in Amsterdam. I then also arranged a fixture between my club and theirs. So that’s the whole story of what happened eight years ago. Most of the media won't publish the joke, but I see that the general gist has now been reported, and I don’t want to sully your screens with something so crude.

@jamiegreeneUK It’s a bit rich to say leopards don’t change their spots when you’ve stood as a Tory but now you’re a libdem. Don’t like Offord or Reform but you’re hardly squeaky clean when it comes to jumping ship to save your career…….

Damn right it’s written down and remembered. I hope voters remember it too when they’re tempted give this lot a seat in Parliament in May. Leopards don’t change their spots. History proves that. 📰 “Offord denies homophobia after apologising for joke” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@StephenGethins Hi Stephen. I believe we’re better off in the UK but I’m also a selfish Tory bastard & would vote for Indy if I was going to be better off. How would Indy change the current structure so energy would be cheaper? Surely it would still have a “market” price?

Scotland is among the most energy rich nations in Europe, but bills are among the highest. Hundreds of billions paid to the Treasury with little to show in return. Westminster has failed, it’s time for Scotland to take full responsibility for energy policy with Independence

@Share_Talk @Greatland_GGP It strikes me that Van Eck & Blackrock haven’t bought significant slices of the pie expecting the share price to be at today’s level. Hold your nose and wait for the inevitable rise.

Scotland’s high energy bills aren’t caused by “Westminster control”. They’re driven by global wholesale prices, private ownership of generation, and the cost of transmitting power across a UK‑wide grid. Geography doesn’t set bills; international markets do. 1/3
John Swinney@JohnSwinney

With independence, we can lower your energy bills, rejoin the EU and build a fairer society. That future is ours to win. On May 7, vote for it - make it #BothVotesSNP.

@RealStephenKerr Reform reform reform A very negative campaign focusing on another party, when it should all be about your offering and the #SNP’s record Is this not negative like previous campaigns that flopped? It was raised at a branch meeting I was at many years ago #SNPOut

Here is one of Reform's candidates calling himself a 'soft unionist'. Independence has gone quiet but it hasn't gone away. We need MSPs to stand up to the SNP's obsession. Reform will not- they have made that very clear, from Lord Offord's ambivalence to outright 'soft unionism' and nationalism among their candidates. x.com/JGfife/status/…

@Stoorie2 @Conservatives Any additional gas production would directly reduce the need for imported LNG. Additional oil production would be sold internationally but would bring in much needed tax revenue which could be used to offset fuel duty reductions. Win win.

High-Horsery is currency for the political class. There’s no room for realism, authenticity, or earnestness in their world. It’s why @ReformUKScot is connecting with so many voters, and they hate it. Roll on May elections.

If we want ordinary people as candidates for the Scottish Parliament, rather than the usual intake of airbrushed politicos, we can’t punish them for every unguarded thing they’ve said in the past. 80% of our candidates have never been politicians before, so have not been as careful as the usual would-be MSP. Yet still, the media have shown desperation, taking comments out of context and even picking out individual words to try and put them in a misleading light. Today, some of our candidates were even smeared by the media for being in an unofficial Facebook group of people who sympathise with Reform – a group not even owned or moderated by the party, which has over 13,000 participants and over 20 posts per DAY – for a handful of comments made by random other people in it. Our candidates had an inkling of the treatment they'd get at the hands of the media, and I hold them to a high standard for things they say and do as candidates. But I’ll not give in to such desperate smears. It’s all just Holyrood’s cushy club in action, terrified that we’re about to stop the gravy train in its tracks. They'll soon need to grow up, because we’ll be bringing some common sense and decency for a change.

"Ordinary people who have never been involved in politics?" Does that include Linda Holt, a former Conservative and Independent councillor who stood for election to Holyrood in 2021? Just so we're clear. fifetoday.co.uk/news/politics/…

@VoteSheasby @RealStephenKerr @ScotTories @Fifetory I see you have decided to ignore my question…. I’m a dyed in the wool Tory voter who finds the Scottish Tory party uninspiring to say the least. Have you considered dropping the independence rhetoric altogether - it’s really not attractive anymore.

@No2indy @RealStephenKerr @ScotTories @Fifetory A choice between either the SNP or the Lib Dems who prop up the SNPs domestic agenda is not very inspiring. I’m campaigning to offer a proper unionist choice. It’s not right that either of them feel entitled to FifeNE.

@CllrTKerr @ReformUKScot @Malcolm_Offord Thomas, as a dyed in the wool Tory voter, I briefly thought Reform had an opportunity. An opportunity that needed time & effort admittedly. What you’ve ended up with is a rabid shower of racists & economic policies that just don’t stack up. Already destined for failure.

If you believe anything @JohnSwinney is spouting & vote SNP then you’re going to be very disappointed. He can’t deliver independence & he can’t deliver lower bills. John is an absolute conman, don’t be like John.
John Swinney@JohnSwinney

Scotland is rich in energy, so why do we pay some of the highest bills in Europe? Because we don’t control our own energy resources. Independence is how we can lower bills and ensure our energy wealth works in the interests of Scotland - not Westminster.

Apart from that, you're absolutely spot on! 🤣🤣🤣 Now, back to the point I'd made about the two options open (and you hate both, don't you)? Moreover, we have a responsibility to accept refugees, and WM's rules = asylum on UK soil.
