'I apologize unreservedly': Scotland's finance chief quits over social media messages to 16-year-old boy

Derek Mackay, who was due to deliver his annual budget on Thursday, said he had “behaved foolishly and I am truly sorry.”“Serving in government has been a huge privilege and I am sorry to have let colleagues and supporters down.”

Mackay is not accused of breaking the law. But Scottish Labour Party leader Richard Leonard said his behavior had been “nothing short of predatory” and “an abuse of power.” She said his behavior was “unacceptable and falls seriously below the standard required of a minister.”

Thats a Pedophile.

A world preoccupied with sex promoted by the media. A man in a responsible government position losses it all and his reputation is tarnished for life.

Not good enough. 😡

You mean he might have tor-pedo-ed his name and career?

The veil has been lifted. Nowhere to hide.

Stay tuned.... this isn’t finished

Shame shame double shame Derek ( Mr. Pedo ) Mackay everybody knows your name!

🤢🤢🤢🤮

What is it with sick people like this lowlife and their unnatural pursuit of children? Lock them up and throw the key away as they can never be rehabilitated.
