And therefore could never stand again? Of course he could stand again, but even if he is found not guilty then I think he is forever tainted with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Boris Johnson conspired to beat up a reporter and is now our Prime Minister. Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. But surely as you despise Westminster and its practices, you fully expect our Parliament to be wholly above that?Not to mirror what goes on down there. To do so would negate the need for independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Surely if Salmond is found not guilty he's...not guilty?The problem is though that so much shit has been thrown at him since his initial arrest that some of it has stuck.That might not be fair but it happens in ever high profile case like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of women I work next to have already made their minds up that he's guilty. They will always believe he's guilty because 'you can just imagine him behaving like that' and something to do with his wife being about 80. It's not even worth arguing that he deserves a fair trial and that people should keep an open mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Salmond was pretty much winding down his political career (As in attempting to become an MP, MSP or MEP) anyways before all this came out. If he's not guilty, he'll likely just continue with his RT programme until he's too irrelevant to draw any sort of audience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawWatchin Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A big statue of a smirking Sir Alex Salmond with "unproven" printed under it. Anywhere in the southern region of Scotland will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 How many charges of sexual impropriety? Yet people think hes innocent? Do people really think mi5 have infiltrated the SNP and got staffers into such a level that multiple numbers of them can make accusations with enough corroboration to prove a charge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people really think mi5 have infiltrated the SNP and got staffers into such a level that multiple numbers of them can make accusations with enough corroboration to prove a charge? It’s a deep state, MI5 and SNP (along the Tories and the MSN) conspiracy aimed at preventing SNP internet users from promoting their feminist agenda.
