UKC

We all know it's a "bunch of wankers" but what is the collective noun for scumbags?

As it's UKC, I'm going to suggest a 'Johnson of Scumbags'.

A skein of scumbags.

A 'cabinet of scumbags'?

It’s “Parliament”, surely?

That's already taken by Owls.

What kind of scumbag are you referring to here?

If it's a druggy robbing type then I'd say a

 "junkie of scumbags".

If you want to keep the scumbag definition vague then I'd say a 

"Vile of scumbags"

80 seat parliamentary majorities. 

a snatch

If you are in polite company and referring to the financial sector, the phrase "a wunch of bankers" can be useful.

I know, I know. Just seemed far too apt..

Ahhh, if you want to direct the collective noun at MPs scumbags, then may I suggest:

"a Marxist if scumbags"

or

"a Socialist of Scumbags"

or my personal favorite,

"a woke of scumbags"

but if you'r hell bent on including the Tories in this noun and not making it party specific then maybe it should be

"an authoritarian of scumbags"

A "politburo"

I like alliteration, so a "scourge of scumbags" works well for me!

I'll see your alliteration and raise you an anagram:

A bumscag of scumbags

I think on reflection it's got to be "a portfolio of scumbags"...

Ahhh, a "wit of montyjohns"...

No no no, there's only one montyjohn

The PM feels quite personal to us, he’s on telly every day. Scumbag is a term generally used to describe unknowns i.e “…them there scumbags smoking them drugs on the park”

Boris is more of a shitbag than scumbag, sorry for muddying the waters 

Uh-huh.

A scrotum of scumbags seems about right.

T.

How about a cabinet of sycophants?

Dave

a froth?

A party of scumbags? 

Election and referendum results over the past 6 years indicate that there are a great many of you.

I think that should be "sullying" the waters, if we are going to get technical...

no, Sullying the waters is now a very positive thing.

I  agree with a "party" of scumbags but there is also the alternative "Stinkheap" which could be adjoined with the heretofore mentioned "party".

I believe the word "Entitlement" can also be used for a multiplicity of scumbags, again perhaps in combination with "party".

Ah.  Half a wit then, at best.

Now that's just being mean.

But I don't blame you, I'm guessing you're from Yorkshire, if so it's just your Yorkshire induced anti-Maggie feelings clouding your judgment. We can work on that.

A collective of bankers is a wunch.

Not everyone from Yorkshire hated Maggie. Jimmy Saville and William Hague spring to mind

A murder of Blairs
