Thursday's WTAF?

[wattaj]

(Scottish) Finance Secretary Derek Mackay alleged to have messaged boy, 16

For "messaged" read "groomed". WTAF? How can he possibly stay in post as an MSP? HTF can the political class think that they are above moral and societal norms?

He has two kids from his former marriage before coming out as gay. One's 15.

I’m sure you aren’t implying that Gay = Pedo, are you?

No.

No.

So what is the relevance of how many kids he had before he came out? It's not all that uncommon.

The relevance, with out implication, was WTH was he thinking in chasing a kid who is near enough the same age as his son; WTH thinks that that's an appropriate thing for a grown man to do? Surely, being a father, he can't think that anyone that age is anything other than a child.

I DGAS that's he's gay. Being gay does not equate to paedophile.

I think you are being more than a little naive.

Maybe he would consider his own children fair game but thinks incest is a step too far.

People who commit crimes rarely see anything wrong with their behaviour. You think it's inappropriate, they don't. Your moral compass is nowhere near theirs. You are not comparing apples with apples.
