No, exactly the opposite. If they can't prove he was there then the case collapses. I think that type of thing might have been checked though by now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 There are some interesting charges in this case. I’m assuming some of the charges are just there to show an ongoing gropey tendency. The charge about touching arms and hips in a nightclub. Is that not just dancing? The bigger crime there is that a man in his 50s is hanging about in a nightclub. That screams trouble. He seems to like touching arses in public - Stirling Castle and a chippy. Going on the charges i’d have him down as a Dave Lee Travis more than a Jimmy Savile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 No, I did. Seriously though, have none of you guys ever had your arse felt by a burd in a club ? I always took it as a compliment rather than something that made me think of "sexual assault". Thankfully Eastern Europe is still pretty normal so it's not the whole world that's gone mad............. ^^^ Yer Da'rmageddon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think having a slightly better taste in music will be much of a defence tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how the authorities classify sexual offenders just now, but DJ Scale would add perspictive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think Salmond would see himself between Jo Whiley and Sara Cox using that scale ! You're on to something.

Donathan Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 What a fucking car crash of a thread this is.I’m basically seeing a few hardcore loonatic Nats claiming it’s a big conspiracy to slander the SNP and a few hardcore Yoons wetting themselves over the potential outcome, whilst the majority of sensible posters understand that you can think Salmond, if guilty, should have the book thrown at him without that undermining your personal support for the SNP/Yes.Ultimately there are two main questions:1) What has Salmond actually done? If the alleged rape attempt actually took place then he should be looking at several years behind bars. If his crime was more along the lines of being “a bit handsy” then simply being “cancelled” from public life may suffice.2) Did Sturgeon attempt to cover the whole thing up? If so then she should resign, but that still wouldn’t stop me backing the next SNP leader 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The failure yesterday of the Greater Manchester Police to provide a submission to the Ariana Grande concert terrorist attack inquiry, whilst every other agency was able to comply, may give you a steer on that one. If the attempted rape allegation was officially made in January 2018 then there is some explaining to do as to why Salmond wasn't interviewed under police caution for 12 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 If you ever wanted to check whether someone is a crank or not: They might as well add Michael Stewart and Peter Martin and make it the most painful TV programme in History. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 A prediction for 2020 - If Salmond is acquitted, he will attempt to re-enter politics by starting his own party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, even if he's acquitted I still think that's unlikely. It would take both an acquittal and his accusers being exposed as liars or something for him to come back from that to the extent of being remotely electable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he’s electable is one thing, but I don’t think he’d be able to bare staying out the limelight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 If Salmond is guilty his political career is rightly finished. If he's innocent unfortunately it's wrongfully finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 If Salmond is guilty his political career is rightly finished. If he's innocent unfortunately it's wrongfully finished.

Baxter Parp Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 His career was already finished, he got voted out in 2015. And therefore could never stand again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
