Cosgrove is a man for purity. He doesn't like Anglo-Scots, "ah cannae stand the accent". Warren Cummings, Oli McBurnie, Bruce Rioch, Bob Wilson, ............ etc. Cosgrove is akin to Farage, he hates everything European and yet marries a German wife. Cosgrove spends thirty years being educated in Hull and working in London, but hates fellow Scots who have done similar and lost a bit of their accents by speaking slower and rounding vowels. Cosgrove owns a couple of flats in London, it's a growing property portfolio. Quite a recovery for a Bankrupt? Yep, DrStu shared a production company(A Big Star in a small picture) with Sellik supporter, Don Coutts. Often, I think it's why Cosgrove was such an effective poster on the Rangers Tax Case Blog, he had experienced bankruptcy himself. I wonder if his production company owed any face painters? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosgrove, himself, you may have noticed, is a man of variable accent. One might almost think that he had taken lessons in elocution. The accent, and the vernacular, which he employs when engaged in his repetitive, unamusing badinage with Terracing Tam differs significantly from those he uses when pontificating (oh, he is fond of preachifying) on matters he probably regards as beyond the ken of his OTB audience. Really quite strangulated pronunciation, and a different vocabulary, come into play when he is delivering his thoughts on, you know the kind of thing, say: "Throbbing Gristle - Pioneers of the Post-Rock Aesthetic"; or "Transformative Performance Art and New Balkan Sensibilities". The inverted snobbery of his fitba' pronouncements is ditched for -dare I say it- the intellectual snobbery of a metropolitan cultural elite. Ultimately, he is a pompous, hypocritical, snide, and pretentious old wind bag. But, apart from that...... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attrocities were committed by all races and religions at some point in history, I'm certainly not going to go on a guilt trip for something my ancestors may have done, that's why it's called history because it's in the past. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via various platforms and various accents, he preaches so much that I think most just nod without really listening. For me, his use of various accents underlines a fundamentally dishonest approach to communication. He is selling, rather than informing and puts a premium on how the mesage sounds. Accuracy in the detail of what he drones on about isn't nearly as important to him and is often deliberately twisted or left out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for his Mrs and wee Jack, but maybe his property portfolio allows for some considerable distancing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
