swear

Jamie Hepburn, previously the minister for parliamentary business, quit his government job after Ross claimed he had grabbed him and swore aggressively outside the Holyrood chamber on Wednesday.

It keeps well, travels well — and I swear I’m not overselling — it really is extraordinary.

"I want to be able to walk down the street and not be noticed because I'm shouting or swearing."

It followed an incident on Wednesday in which Ross alleged Hepburn swore aggressively and grabbed him as he was leaving the chamber following an exchange about "out of control" seagulls.

"I swear to God this is real suffering."
