Janey Godley hilariously reimagined Nicola Sturgeon’s comments to the MSP who asked about croquet

Oonagh Keating. Updated May 22nd, 2020

During a session of the Scottish Parliament, the Conservative MSP for North East Scotland, Tom Mason, had an important question – via video link – about *checks notes* croquet.

Imagine getting the opportunity to question the First Minister on the exit from lockdown – on behalf of your constituents – and the best you can come up with is…
Will I be allowed to play croquet?

Mate – just hit your golf balls with a mallet. Job done.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon gave an admirably restrained response, but not when the wonderful Janey Godley got her hands – or rather, her voice – on it.

Best of all, however, was this comment from the First Minister herself.

I just knew that today’s croquet moment wouldn’t escape the famous @JaneyGodley treatment (posted with my usual disclaimer about the language 😉) https://t.co/k44bGCmzVQ

We look forward to the day she goes full Janey Godley after a stupid question.
