LONDON - Admiring a woman discreetly is one thing, but being heard doing just that on a microphone in a public meeting is another - that too for a Labour MSP.
Senior MSP, Frank McAveety, was caught sizing up a “very attractive girl” attending a Scottish Parliament committee he was chairing, praising her ‘dark and dusty” looks.
“There’s a very attractive girl in the second row, dark … and dusky. I know, we’ll maybe put a wee word out for her,” The Telegraph quoted McAveety telling a clerk he was conversing with.
He said, “She’s very attractive looking, nice, very nice, very slim,” before adding, “The heat’s getting to me.”
“She looks kinda … she’s got that Filipino look,” he went on to tell the clerk.
“You know … the kind you’d see in a Gauguin painting. There’s a wee bit of culture.”
A Scottish Labour spokesman said, “Mr McAveety is very sorry for any offence caused by his remarks.” (ANI)
