Alan Stubbs Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Insisting everyone is delusional for not buying into their extremely strained interpretation of events. Telling people to go and find the evidence that is ‘out there’ on Google, without presenting it. This is all pretty routine conspiracy theory type stuff. If Alex Salmond isn’t rinsing these people on Patreon at some point this year, I’ll be amazed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Time to give it a rest pal eh. The man was found innocent.The only roasters I see are you and Bawatchin. It's perfectly possible for someone to be found not guilty but still have a tarnished reputation. I said during the trial proceedings that I didn't think there was sufficient evidence for there to be a successful criminal prosecution but that Salmond still came across as a pervy old b*****d. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are entitled to your opinion. That is all it is. The man was found innocent....but throw enough mud and it sticks eh. Well that is no way to conduct politics. Its deeply worrying that there are folk, whose opinion otherwise I respect, that given the circumstances, think this matter should be swept under the carpet. Indeed....think that it even could be swept under the carpet. It does need properly investigated. For the good of the SNP, but more importantly, for the cause of independence. 2 hours ago, Alan Stubbs said: Insisting everyone is delusional for not buying into their extremely strained interpretation of events.

Lol wot......stating the matter requires to be properly investigated is hardly the action of someone who has a delusional interpretation of events. Like many, I simply want to see the truth. That requires proper investigation. As I said above. I will leave it here. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 “That politics is showbusiness for ugly people is well known – what’s less understood is that it is high society for the socially awkward. People who otherwise would be left off the invite list get to dance all night. And Alex loved that.“ That quote from the article is fantastic and absolutely spot on in my experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does make you think if he has that opinion why he spoke in his defence as you say Friends & Enemies . So say he then goes on to win the next fight what happens then with 3 victories under his belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that Bell has struggled with being remote from the centre and is reduced to churning out pieces for the likes of the P&J and Courier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only skill now is that he was in SNP and hates them. That seems to be enough for most papers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
