2 VIDEOS of Philomena McCann at Parliament 16.5.07

Strange smiling from Philomena???

Only another Scot would understand but would that no gie you the dry boak?

Why on earth Philomena was put forward as a family spokesperson in the early days is beyond me!

Impenetrable diction, matchy hair accessories and sheer animal magnetism would be my guess, Costello...!

Rosa you are a hoot,amazing! Cheers.

Any idea who those folk are in the picture?

They all have the same expression on their faces.... 'What the hell is this...?'

Annabel Goldie on the left (ex Tory leader Scotland) and Jack McConnell on the right(ex First Minister Scotland) ironically both are now Barons. Not sure who the guy in the middle is Andrew, have a feeling he is a Lid Dem and I do think he is from the Highlands and Islands will have to check.

ETA: Alex Salmond is just out of the photograph. Looks like Philomena was appealing to all parties.

Cheers Costello. Can't say I'm too familiar with the names.

Must of been in the very very early days then... Just before they put the muzzle on to stop her dropping them in it all the time.

Any chance of an English translation of the above.....

It would make you sick Andrew. Wretch.

Philomena would? Well I can't argue with that.

Not watched the above vids as yet. Probably seen them before though but it's a bit late now to watch them again. Don't want nightmares.

The urban dictionary is what I rely on for foreign languages like Scottish!

Jocular Johnnie McCann also in attendance with jack-in-the-box trouserlegs...

- is that Nicola Sturgeon far left fiddling with her mobile phone?

I think the clue is in the thread title,16-05-2007,don't suppose they would get the same attention now.

Yes, I knew when the videos were taken. It was the other picture that Rosa posted I questioned...

All these people rallying around and showing support before the 'arguido' days......

All these people giving big Phil an audience.....

No wonder the 'political will' was to stop the truth getting out.

Imagine having to admit that you fell for big Phil's spiel hook line and sinker.........

The 'cover-up' was that of sheer embarrassment of being duped. And yes I do think it's as simple as that.............

Yes that's Nicola Sturgeon Rosa.

5 yrs and £12 million to uncover an embarrassment,with seemingly no resolution in sight, can't see it some how.

Naughty Freedom. There is no Scottish language. We have dialects and accents just as the English have but we ( unless using Gaelic) speak English and are not using a "foreign" tongue.

Yes, I was speaking (foreign) tongue in cheek!
