It doesn't read well: I've always thought it odd that people who have some kind of public profile (though I confess I've never heard of this guy), and whose public pronouncements are likely to be reported, tend to talk utter shite and end up having to apologise - is if the apology somehow undoes the damage.

And why say it? Just seems very badly judged.

Having watched the video, it looked a bit like like a bit of jocular banter but, hey, people like to get outraged about everything on the Internet these days.

But wasn’t it Eddie who recently educated the Scots on the dangers of ‘jocular banter’?
