How is it wrong ? He admitted himself that his behaviour was hardly beyond reproach. The civil service had to act to make sure that female members of staff would not work alone with him. Fuxsake. He's a fucking sleazeball. A brilliant political mind that deserves thanks for getting the independence to the point that it reached. But that's it. There's no way back for him in politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he was no angel, not that he was raging sex pest There was no evidence to suggest that women were to be kept away from him, it is one of the parts of the trial that unravelled the fastest. Again, no fan of Salmond but folk need to stick to facts rather than regurgitate lies and half truths 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course separation of powers isn't a thing at westminster either. The Attorney General has exactly the same dual role as the Lord Advocate. Overseeing the Crown Prosecution Service and top Legal Adviser to the Government, and part of the Cabinet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admitted that his behaviour was hardly beyond reproach. He was First Minister of Scotland. I'm afraid that him saying that he was 'no angel' doesn't mean that we should shrug our shoulders and pat him on the back for admitting that 'hey, my behaviour was maybe inappropriate and made women feel uncomfortable, but at least I'm not a rapist'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also repeated a false claim about women being actively kept away from him. His statement was that he broke no laws, that was supported by the highest court in Scotland. The tone of your post suggests that he was like a carry on character, slapping arses and making obscene comments 24/7 You don't like Salmond, cool....but stop making stuff up or repeating lies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I realise this is (allegedly) a politics thread, but there is one important late result: Spoiler Salmond 13 Scottish Govt 0 (Agg. 26-0) Full report to follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Genuine respect to diegomarahenry, tirso, git-intae-them, detournement, and stormzy (apologies to anybody I missed) for managing to watch the game surrounded by a gang of absolute fuckin idiots, who still don’t know anything about what they were watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no evidence of that, just (presumably) rumour. My dad used to work with Salmond back in the day and he was poleaxed when he heard that he'd been charged with all these terrible offenses. My theory is that HM Civil Service went after him with glee, the Polis gathered the evidence and the Crown Office couldn't resist it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
