Gibb position on BBC board ‘untenable’, says Swinney
The comments come amid a bias row at the broadcaster which has seen two of its top bosses resign.

That said, I won't lie: I've still got a lot of concerns regarding your party colleague making those comments in the first place, but that's not on you, at least directly.
He did *not* seem to be coming at "concerns" from a stance of fair and humane treatment, though, which is the worrying thing.

Fair dos. I'm sure we likely disagree on quite a few other things (constitutional, and so on), but I can really respect a willingness to admit fault. It's far too absent in a lot of folks, political and otherwise.
