Are YOU Voting for the Alba Party?

In the interests of fairness the complaint against her was not upheld by the Law Society.

Easily found but as I did have some dealings with the law firm I do know that she was not held in high regard.

Anyway, early in her career and she moved on to politics.

End of story.

[alta-pete]

IIRC she resigned from The Law Society before the Complaints Tribunal could reach its conclusion.

Fairly sure Tasmina got involved in some similarly sticky predicament more recently.

Maybe @tamthebam can add some background detail… 

[tamthebam]

If she's a Queen's Counsel (QC) then she's an advocate (although solicitor advocates can become QCs)

Cherry was a lawyer with Brodie's before becoming an advocate. I don't tend to mix with the wiggy twats up the Big House so can't say if she was any good or not.

Brodie's handled the affairs of the descendants of the Usher brewing dynasty who were in the modern parlance, Adults with Incapacity. A distant relative and loonball, Stuart Usher, thought he should have inherited millions of pounds and accused Brodie's of ripping the money off. He started Scotland against Crooked Lawyers with another loonball. They used to produce amusing leaflets naming crooked lawyers but whether Cherry was ever named in one I couldn't tell you

She was, I believe, found negligent by the Law Society regarding the handling of a clients affairs.

No idea about anything to do with this but can now safely assume the opposite very much likely to be the case.

and there you have it. 

And as for the subsequent claim, well you can probably safely file that in the Walter Mitty bin also.

There was some shite about a misconduct investigation at the end of her career but she was cleared. Much like she was cleared of any wrongdoing (except having a really shit memory) recently.

Salmond was cleared of wrongdoing but that doesn’t matter to the Sturgeonites. So nudge nudge wink wink Sturgeons lawyering abilities.

Apologies. Did I get Alba's vote share wrong? 

[Thorongil]

No, it just any challenging fact you don’t like.

Found not guilty and not proven of doing anything illegal.

Wrongdoing is a bit more vague.

 

You know my views on Salmond.

Being acquitted in court is being cleared of wrongdoing. Sturgeon “clearance” of wrongdoing is somewhat more vague. 

I do know your views on Salmond and they have no factual basis.

Interesting*

Sturgeon wasn't even in Court to be acquitted. The only actual independent enquiry cleared her of breaching the ministerial code. Salmond was indeed not convicted of anything. There is however little doubt that he was (and probably still is) somewhat of a lech. And that's your hero

Is this how you engage in discussion? Can only assume you are quite immature. 

Salmond’s acquittal and exoneration must have been a really sore one. 

And you are right. Sturgeon was not acquitted by a court and hence doubt remains as regard to her conduct.

We'll never agree on the facts. That much has been clear so no point going over them again.

I still think Salmond is a creepy b*****d and Sturgeon is a lying b*****d yet I still vote for independence despite disliking and mistrustign the main players.

It gets even worse when you go down to the lower levels because all I see are incompetents (Swinney/Yousaf) or a God botherer (Forbes).

You think there's no doubt about Salmond's conduct. Even from his own QC?

You're clearly at it, or simply mental.

You probably believe the entirety of Scottish Football is engaged in some decades-long dark plot against your football team as well. 

Enjoy your continued howling at the moon

I think that what tiny scrap of public domain evidence there is for “wrongdoing” (highly subjective) gets heavily inflated whereas the mountain of evidence against Sturgeon’s integrity and character is minimised. 

If we are talking about non judicial matters (as these have been settled) then the case against Sturgeon with regard to her conduct is much more severe and compelling. 

Salmond gets lambasted and smeared while Sturgeon gets an absolute free pass.

Day At The Lords gives Sturgeon an absolute free pass no matter what, whereas Salmond is smeared as a lech, beast, rapist etc by those of a certain mindset whenever his name is mentioned, despite being completely cleared and exonerated by the legal system.

Why did he make an official apology to one of his accusers then?
