Insults, storms and teacups

Gorse Fox notices that Clarkson has been lambasted for referring to Gordon Brown as a "one-eyed Scottish idiot". 

Apparently the Scots are taking great offence. The Gorse Fox is at a loss: there is no argument that he has one-eye, and there is no argument that he is Scottish. Whether he is an idiot or not is a matter of opinion - but surely that is for him to take offence at - not the Scots as a whole. 

Or is it rather that they are offended that Gordon Brown is Scottish and don't wish to be associated with him?

I wondered about that. BTW, any idea where they are raising the £33 billion for the Scottish Parliament's budget? My sources suggest that they only raise about £8 billion in Scotland in tax etc.
