Short troos

The career politician Fergus Ewing has held his first meeting with the short trouser brigade.

The group are dedicated to promoting the concept of short trousers or pants as they're known in the US.

STB (short trouser brigade) spokesperson Lord Naetoo Bright stated that short troos emphasise the male physique below the knee and also promote both socks and shoes. 'Years ago both men and boys were always to be seen in this this type of regalia, we hope that it'll make a comeback'.

Fergus himself was a little more cautious and despite vigorous and at times probing questioning wouldn't give a straight answer when asked if he'd be adopting the dress style.

We await the outcome with interest
