Strange days indeed at The Scotsman where a very libertarian attitude to swear words seems to have been introduced.

Nestled in the leader column of  Scotland’s ‘national newspaper’ was a word that would surely have had the good ladies of the capital’s Morningside district spluttering into their decaf lattes.

In a rather lame version of an imaginary conversation between Alex Salmond and Jack McConnell, as played by Rory Bremner, came the immortal line: “Jack McConnell, you daft twat.”

Is this a new Guardian-style policy to use swear words throughout the paper?

Surely we should be told of such a bold move.
