I do not think it is possible to overstate how embarrassingly pathetic this is.

NEW: BrewDog founder James Watt has set up an unofficial, Elon Musk-style government watchdog.

He says it will look to cut 'badly spent tax money'

Hope the government puts a massive charity totaliser on Whitehall calculating the total cost of tWatt’s frivolous FOI requests…

Yes, but also I would definitely enjoy watching him try to explain what 'Shadow DOGE' means to the vast majority of people in Scotland. ("So where does the dog come from?")

“Then why isn’t it called Shadow DUG, ya roaster?”

"He finally snapped on the ninth day of a Q&A with the Rotary Club of Troon while trying to explain why the pretend money was worth anything in the first place".

A goatee tells us who a man is. Maybe not a sex offender, but have to at least consider the possibility

Next time someone from outwith Glasgow asks me to explain the word ‘riddy’ I will simply send them this headline.

leftpeggers.bsky.social•10 days ago

You could do the same with the word ‘fud’ for those outwith Scotland….

Almost as embarrassing and pathetic as being manipulated by tossers into voting for Brexit.

Old hippies and punks never fail to disappoint. You can now add hipsters to the list.

No?!!!!!! Can't read it unfortunately. I think it's behind a pay wall. Actually, that's probably a good thing.

Running the country is very much like making love to a beautiful woman

That dickhead is always looking for publicity .. but bad publicity as it continually surrounds him like flies around shite. . plus that's what his beer tastes like too

I can't see him without thinking of this masterclass by Alistair Green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wP3BjTdogY

It’s very pathetic. But he gets a reaction and goes viral every time so… he’s getting the attention he craves.

quillquipper.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yep.

And the subject of The National's scoop doesn't come out of it well either.

"Use extensive Freedom of Information requests to public bodies to delve deeply into how carelessly our tax money is being spent”."

Ah yes, tying up administrative staff in processing frivolous FOIs is a sure fire way to save government money.
