ICTJohnboy Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Nicola's going to come through this completely unscathed. That married man, of whom his defence team admitted during his trial, behaved inappropriately, will probably come out of this with about as much credibility as Tony Blair did, after his war with Iraq. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't going to happen. Nobody can have as little credibility as Tony Blair over Iraq. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Not sure there are going to be any winners in this sorry tale. The independence fight is the only possible loser and that's the also only thing I care about. I have no time for either of the sides in this shitstorm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirso Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The civil service and the crown office have come out of this looking decidedly dodgy and unaccountable. One manages to botch probably the most important harassment case in modern Scottish history and the other brought a case with a litany of flimsy material. The legacy of this is women will not feel confident complaining or feel in power of their complaints. It's a stain on Scotland however this pans out now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I’m not sure women will be confident either that their anonymity will be respected given there’s people doing their bit to nudge and wink people’s identity out into the open and others who think a not guilty verdict should be open season to go hog wild on the people making the complaints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, especially regarding the civil service and crown office. Both far too close and under the influence of the SNP government. Seems odd that the Lord Advocate is in the cabinet? Both the AS and the Rangers affairs are shocking and the police also look decidedly dodgy. Part of the problem is that the SNP have been in power far too long, just like Labour before them to the extent that Scotland resembles a one party state. The nationalist academic, James Mitchell Is correct when he says that the SNP needs a spell in opposition to regroup and settle policy differences. This current affair is going to end badly and I can see the emergence of a new nationalist party. Obviously, from a unionist point of view, some wishful thinking, but Scottish politics definitely needs a root and branch shakeup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best (only) way to get rid of the SNP is to have an independent Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
