Detournement Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 11 minutes ago, Ludo*1 said: Yep, nothing is being cleared up either way here. Salmond & Sturgeon are brilliant operators whilst the MSPs asking questions are utterly dreadful and not made a single breakthrough. All that's been proven is that Salmond & Sturgeon are the two most effective and impactful politicians this country has seen IMO. I'd take Robin Cook over either of them. Brown as well. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Don Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Did she start a 9am and how longer are they going to go on? Just wondering given that this level of scrutiny in a 'Bannana Republic' is a bit unusual. Edited March 3, 2021 by Angus_Don 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Fraser again spewing shite about 29th March. If Hamilton and Pringle were not present at the meeting, they can not 'corroborate' what Aberdein is claiming was said in the meeting. They can only testify as to what Aberdein said happened in the meeting, and this is 'hearsay', not 'corroboration'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a deliberate misrepresentation NS's opponents are continuing to pursue in order to try and claim she has something to hide. Sturgeon has admitted that it was clear to her on 29th March that 'something was afoot', but she only became aware of the actual specifics of the allegations on 2nd April There's a difference between being aware something was up, and being fully aware of exactly what. This is a stooshie over absolutely nothing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'd like to see Sturgeon asked if she believes Woman H was at Bute House the night of the alleged attempted rape. She's gave enough comments today about Salmond's actions that it shouldn't be out of bounds. That's basically what everything boils down considering H's role in organising the other complainers. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, but who is going to report that? Good point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was saying to someone else but if you're Salmond or whoever then you're surely spewing at this line of questioning given it's so easily swatted away (as it has been by Sturgeon) as confusing hearsay with corroboration. This is rank amateur stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Genuine question do people genuinely believe she just completely forgot about a meeting she had where these allegations were briefed to her I take it you have watched none of the evidence and are lifting your take from twitter etc ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she's been quite emphatic at her absolute horror when the details of the allegations, and Salmond's explanation of one in particular, were laid bare to her on 2nd April, thanks to speaking to Salmond himself, and seeing the letter he brought with him. If that was her reaction, I'm sure it would have been the same had this been relayed to her on 29th March, and she would have no issue recalling it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
