Is it because they is blackish?

It's possible that he and his wife have been discriminated against.

But it would be impossible to prove. Maybe there were no vacancies for the days that they required and on and on - too many variables.

"It's possible that he and his wife have been discriminated against."

These people love playing the R card...bet they cant believe its not worked...makes a nice change

"these people"...

[wolf63]

I think that he means working parents who need child care, JNO.

[jno]

oh, I thought he might have meant Scots

[lankeela]

Is that Amy Farrah-Fowler?

[Gromit]

Usha Fowdar.
Is that a native Scottish name? I dunno?

I cannot work out from this story who anyone are or who they represent. They are councillors but for what party, the report doesn’t us. And the nursery owner, is she Persian or summat.
Then there is the Care Inspectorate ?
Are they local authority ? Whose authority, SNP/Labour/Tory ?

Makes absolutely no sense unless I know who all the sides are, and the linked repirt tells me bobbins.

[douglas9401]

He is the Scottish Health Secretary, SNP, she is a local councillor, most likely SNP, for some part of Dundee
Aamer Anwar is the jock equivalent of Johnnie Cochran, always there for the more tanned client, esp if there's TV reporters.

Gromit is lazy/suddenly unable to read or Google.

Not a complete answer but enough to get you going.

[ToraToraTora]

Self entitled, chip on shoulder pair of wallies.

[anneasquith]

Maybe start by not calling the parents ‘ these people’, that’s sure to rattle anyone’s cage .

[youngmafbog]

As TTT says.

Ideas above their station, they need to get over themselves.

[douglas9401]

"these people" has been adopted as a trigger phrase rather than just meaning 'these people, those ones over there' in my humble opinion.

It's been a staple of US dramas for years when folk hear what they want to hear.
