"Undermining" their credibility, I'm sure you held them all in high regard before anybody leaked anything! Fact of the matter is the committee found her guilty, she had previously said she'd respect the opinion of the committee but did a complete U turn due to Douglass Ross jumping the gun and due to the sheer numbers of followers that couldn't care less what she's done as long as she at least acts like she's partially pro Indy. It's a minor point but one that does speak to their credibility or lack thereof that you and they think it was within the committees remit to "find her guilty" of something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the committee's credibility wasn't particularly helped when at least one of them demanded the FM's resignation before she'd even been up in front of them. The corpulent Jackie Baillie was one of them, possibly also ACH or thon Tory woman who had an absolute meltdown. In any case an independent QC-led inquiry completely cleared the FM shortly afterwards, which was quite amusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A horrid little shit, much like his predecessor but with none of his clowning photo-op charm. Pretty sure Michelle Thomson accused him of harassing her a while back also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I worked with ACH outside of politics. People may be shocked to learn he was arrogant, aggressive and narcissistic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 The tweet unveiling him so few positive interactions it's actually embarrassing, New Hope is also a bizzare slogan when it's going to be 4 years until he can face the voters, when he will almost certainly be met with "who?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 They've always had clowns/nobodies as leaders, but I think the demise of the Lib Dems is more to do with Labour commandeering their "Tories but nicer" pitch. No really any reason for them to exist now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I quite like the ‘I would strongly advise you to vote Lib Dem’ tagline, but I feel it could be too heavy handed for them. I suppose people may vote for them again in the future. Once people forget that they enabled a Tory government which is still with us a decade later. In time they may go back to being the cuddly, inoffensive, middle of the road vote of choice. Give it another 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any dispute I’d happily settle it directly with ACH in lieu of a court hearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
