The Scots really do have the best insults in the World. Well, Glasweigians really.
We were laughing about this in work today but bawbag is now getting used by Glasgow hipster types so they can claim to be soooooo edgy.
Thankfully I haven’t seen my favourite Glasgow insult used yet and long may it continue 
Numpty?
Bumbaclaat.
Smell yer Maw.
You got the smell bit right.

White House looking like the Black Knight on this one . . . “Tis but a scratch” as Trump’s blood gushes forth.
LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Good to see they’ve finally started draining the swamp.

Rowson in today’s Guardian. I really like the inclusion of Mrs Theresa in the corner offer an invite to the crew.
There is some scathing comment of the whole Russian affair across the press today (except for the Telegraph which downplays it unsurprisingly). Dan Rather (who rather blotted his copybook in 2005) had the following to say:
Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now. On a 10 scale of armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9. This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour. And we may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling.
When we look back at Watergate, we remember the end of the Nixon Presidency. It came with an avalanche, but for most of the time my fellow reporters and I were chasing down the story as it rumbled along with a low-grade intensity. We never were quite sure how much we would find out about what really happened. In the end, the truth emerged into the light, and President Nixon descended into infamy.
This Russia story started out with an avalanche and where we go from here no one really knows. Each piece of news demands new questions. We are still less than a month into the Trump Presidency, and many are asking that question made famous by Tennessee Senator Howard Baker those many years ago: “What did the President know, and when did he know it?” New reporting suggests that Mr. Trump knew for weeks. We can all remember the General Michael Flynn’s speech from the Republican National Convention - “Lock her up!” in regards to Hillary Clinton. If Hillary Clinton had done one tenth of what Mr. Flynn had done, she likely would be in jail. And it isn’t just Mr. Flynn, how far does this go?
The White House has no credibility on this issue. Their spigot of lies - can’t we finally all agree to call them lies - long ago lost them any semblance of credibility. I would also extend that to the Republican Congress, who has excused away the Trump Administration’s assertions for far too long.
We need an independent investigation. Damn the lies, full throttle forward on the truth. If a scriptwriter had approached Hollywood with what we are witnessing, he or she would probably have been told it was way too far-fetched for even a summer blockbuster. But this is not fiction. It is real and it is serious. Deadly serious. We deserve answers and those who are complicit in this scandal need to feel the full force of justice.
