Speaker 0: I'm delighted to be joined by a member of the Chinese community as I apologize for using the phrase Chinese whispers. I appreciate that this is deeply offensive to the Chinese. I completely understand why they went totally mental. I'm delighted, to be joined by a mental health campaigner to witness my apology for using the phrase they've gone mental. I can see some of you are surprised that I'm apologizing but no.
Gone are the days when getting an apology out of me was like getting a fiber out of an Aberdonian. I would like to apologize, to the largest Aberdonian community, the Aberdonians. I do understand that Aberdonian feelings are important. I'm surprised actually that our diversity officer didn't make that clear to me. Honestly, sometimes around here, it's like the blind leading the blind.
I would like to apologize to Scotland's blind community. I hear your concerns, and I promise you they will not fall on deaf ears. I would like to apologize to the deaf community. I would like to say sorry. I realized what I'd said.
I honestly had a fit. I apologize unreservedly to all of the epileptics in Scotland for my use of the word fit. I I completely understand where you've got a bee in your bonnet. I would like to apologize to anyone connected with bees or the wider bee community. Bees indeed are a vital part of society.
I tried my best to get a statement that that wouldn't offend anyone. I I really did. But, you know, when when me and my advisers get together, honestly, it's like 2 bald men fighting over a comb. I would like to apologize to Scotland's bald community of which I am a member. I would like to apologize and exonerate myself.
Chief, I'm sorry. Chief, you're forgiven. I was particularly pleased with my final apology because I could, apologize and accept the apology at the same time. I do like to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I would like to apologize to the entire avian community for my cruel and insensitive words.
I'm sorry.
