Quote Andy Anokye, 32, who performs as Solo 45, denies 31 charges against him. They include 22 allegations of rape, five counts of false imprisonment, two of assault by penetration and two of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand you are suggesting a conspiracy to ruin Salmond on the other you say it's 10 women who hate him, which is it? You did say you had evidence of his innocence, didn't you? The trial evidence isn't public knowledge yet, it might support either side. Unless you know better. Well that is a conspiracy isn't it? What evidence could there possibly be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does a group of people getting together and claiming something happened decades ago serve as "proof" that it actually did? I mean... what's to stop a group of people "who hate that salmon and wee jimmy krankie" getting together and fabricating a story together at their own leisure? There is literally nothing to stop people with a political agenda from doing that. It's one of the easiest things in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with them on the night, people who might have saw him go in the room, people who heard something from a neighbouring room, people who spoke to them afterwards or observed their behaviour afterwards. This list is not exhaustive. Remind me about your Sturgeon allegation. Edited November 21, 2019 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is literally nothing to stop people with a political agenda from doing that. It's one of the easiest things in the world. Nothing stops them, except it's going to trial to establish if the allegations are true. If you make a complaint to the police, they investigate, refer to the PF who will decide if a viable case exists. Otherwise if they accuse you without going to the police you could sue. There are relevant laws to discourage what you describe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Some people, especially on social media, need to take the tinfoil hats off. This is not a "unionist conspiracy" as some are making out - he, like any other person needs to face justice if there is the evidence available. That being said Unionists also need to remember that anyone on trial is innocent until proven guilty - and that it is the individual that is on trial not the political party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand you are suggesting a conspiracy to ruin Salmond The court of session has already found that the Scottish Government acted illegally in their handling of complaints against Salmond. Salmond being charged delayed an investigation which would have cost the jobs of Evans and MacKinnon. The role the two of them played in their interactions with the accusers in the months before they made formal statements will no doubt become clear during the trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting they should have accused Nicola Sturgeon of sexual assault instead? Alex Salmond is an easy target. He is viewed as an old school dinosaur by many. It also isn't clear exactly when the allogations started taking place. He may well have been FM when all of this started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Government launched an investigation in January 2018 which they later admitted was Quote In a humiliating climbdown, the Scottish government admitted in court on Tuesday that an inquiry it launched last January into harassment allegations against the former Scottish first minister was unlawful and “tainted by apparent bias”. And there seems to have been an unofficial investigation which started prior to that. Quote The Scottish government claimed last August the complaints were first made in January 2018. But Clancy told Pentland that MacKinnon and three other civil servants, including Evans, had become aware of the allegations from Miss A and Miss B in November 2017, two months before their formal complaints were lodged. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/08/scottish-government-acted-unlawfully-over-alex-salmond-claims-court-rules Edited November 21, 2019 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the power to convict someone based on words alone is wrong in my opinion and one of the failing aspects of modern democracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not Sergeant Wilson's first attempt to take the life of Scotland's First Minister , nor would it be his last ...
