Feb 2021. Alex Salmond Accusations

Alex Salmond has claimed the “inescapable conclusion” is that there was a “malicious and concerted” attempt to see him removed from public life.

The Corruption of Sturgeon Part 3

The First Minister says “As an independent member of the European Union, Scotland would be a partner and a bridge-builder.” The SNP have never been bridge builders. They’ve only ever built one bridge and it can’t even handle the Scottish weather when it gets icy. https://vk.com/video503532632_456240655

Feb 2021. The Salmond Inquiry Part 5

Another odd part of these proceedings is the legal approach taken by James Wolffe, the Lord Advocate. He has appeared in front of the Committee and made the assertion that for anyone to produce the documentary productions (originals or copies) from Salmond’s criminal trial would amount to a crime and they would be prosecuted for… Continue reading Feb 2021.

Feb 2021. The Salmond Inquiry Part 4

The First Minister’s assurance at the outset that her government would do all they could to assist the inquiry has proved to be an empty promise. The all-too-obvious truth is that her government has made Herculean efforts to frustrate it at every turn. To most lawyers, of course, the most absurd aspect has been the claim… Continue reading Feb 2021. The Salmond Inquiry Part 4

Feb 2021. The Salmond Inquiry Part 3

In Glasgow Sheriff Court many of the witnesses would have been locked up for prevarication at best. Some might be facing perjury prosecutions. The fact that people in very senior positions are advancing at best amnesia and at worst idiocy as explanations for questionable aspects of their evidence makes one wonder if we have in Scotland… Continue reading Feb 2021. The Salmond Inquiry Part 3

There never has been a clearer case made out for the utility of law and lawyers than the so-called Salmond Inquiry in the Scottish Parliament. The ‘Committee on the Scottish government handling of harassment complaints’ to give it its correct title, has thus far failed to unearth the truth about the machinations within the Scottish… Continue reading Feb 2021.

The SNP Ain’t Scotland Part 21

If I had wanted my country to become independent, I would have spent the last 14 years making it entirely self reliant. Improved the Schools, Hospitals, Industry and Local Economy. Got on top of the Illicit Drugs and Unemployment problems. I’d have got my country in a position to leave. And then we get Nippy… Continue reading The SNP Ain’t Scotland Part 21
