Essan Posted January 22, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Weren't there rumours a while back? And didn't they relate to events that supposedly happened a long time ago? As in "oh, I just remember, I was kissed at a Christmas party 35 years ago and I've just realised the bloke who kissed me is now famous. And he never asked my permission for that drunken snog!!!!!! So it must be a serious sexual assault. I'd better call the Daily Mail and sell my story ...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However would 10 women really get together and conspire this? Possible but unlikely in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted March 17, 2021 Author #15 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Alex Salmond complaints were 'encouraged' claims Conservative MP Conservative MP David Davis has used parliamentary privilege to criticise the Scottish government's handling of allegations against Alex Salmond. The former minister told MPs during a Commons debate that there had been a "concerted effort" by SNP officials to encourage complainers to come forward. Mr Davis also suggested Scottish government officials knew earlier than previously acknowledged of the claims. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-56422589 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted March 20, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Nicola Sturgeon “stands by every word of her evidence” to the Holyrood inquiry investigating the Scottish Government’s botched handling of sexual harassment complaints against Alex Salmond. A spokesperson for the First Minister said the committee had “resorted to baseless assertion, supposition and smear” after a leak suggested members found it “hard to believe” she did not previously know about alleged inappropriate behaviour by Salmond news.stv Scotland’s former finance secretary has resigned from the SNP after he was suspended from the party over messages he sent to a teenage boy. Derek Mackay resigned as finance secretary hours before he was due to deliver the Scottish budget on February 6 last year following reports he sent hundreds of messages to a 16-year-old boy on social media. news.stv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see it doing the SNP any good come the election if she is still there. Polling shows a definite down turn for her and an indyref, a relatively small shift in voter intention could remove an SNP hold on Scottish parliament and there is only about 6 weeks to go. Plus Sturgeon still needs to show how joining the EU, who want to kill off scots by stopping their vaccine supply, is a good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted March 24, 2021 Author #25 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Alex Salmond is to take fresh legal action over the conduct of the Scottish government's top civil servant. The former first minister said Permanent Secretary Leslie Evans had failed to take responsibility for the botched handling of harassment complaints against him. He said he had instructed his lawyers to bring proceedings in the Court of Session. Mr Salmond previously won a judicial review case against the government. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-56513358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
