Swinney: "SNP must appeal more to women"- police called, charges may follow
SNP supremo told party activists in Perth this week that the party must broaden its appeal to women. Mr Swinney decried the party’s "macho" image and argued that the organisation must reach out to the women of Scotland.

Departing from his prepared speech, Mr Swinney told activists "We will not earn or deserve the support of Scotland’s women unless we work for it. And this is what I’m talking about" Mr Swinney said as he unbuttoned his shirt and threw his suit jacket to the side of the platform.

While thrusting his groin in a suggestive manner Mr Swinney informed his audience "Y’see, the laydeez want a little attention, a little kiss and a lotta lurve."

Long time associates Roseanna Cunningham and Nicola ("The Talking Fish") Sturgeon were in full accord with Mr Swinney’s reading of the situation, rising to their feet, gyrating lewdly and calling out "Thass right, John babee, tell the people."

Perth Police were called to the meeting after members of the public complained at the very thought of John Swinney with no clothes on.

Meanwhile elsewhere on planet Nat, Andrew Wilson continued to insist that his call for Scots to support England in the World Cup was not a wind up.

Speaking exclusively to the JT, Mr Wilson explained that such support would reflect Scotland’s new political maturity and Mr Wilson further insisted that he would very much like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.*

Inside: We ask "Is Andrew Wilson rippin’ the pish or what?"
