A hollow argument if Salmond gets convicted. The fella in question is a well respected Scottish journalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s he trying to saying - that the sexual assault/attempted rape charges are invented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny timing though, just as the SNP gear up for Indy 2. I’m away to put my tin foil hat on. I wasn't aware they were gearing up for Ref 2. The insinuation that a government could induce 2 women to make allegations of attempted rape is a bit weird- and frankly offensive. inappropriate behaviour to your PA - dirty comments and the likes are bad enough - but attempted rape is an entirely different ball park. Or is Hollyrood even worse than Westminster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What is attempted rape anyway? That surely means attacking someone? Leaving them with marks, scratches and bruises etc no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving them with marks, scratches and bruises etc no? Not necessarily I wouldn't think. Attempted rape definition according to here - https://www.yourdictionary.com/attempted-rape (law) A crime in which rape was the motive for an assault, although no rape was carried out. So pretty much a more serious form of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. Edited January 28, 2019 by Jambo-Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular the SNP's dictatorial centralisation doesn't sit well. Sure, i'd like more decentralisation from the SNP. That is something they should change direction on. But they do a lot to protect us from Tory policies. Bedroom tax, welfare cuts etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is always one of the problems with these type of cases involving a high profile public figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
