Is that what it looks like 

 

There are serious questions about conduct of Salmond. If he's not guilty he's not guilty and justice has prevailed 

 

Let's not detract from his general conduct however. He's an odious sneering cretin, and perhaps even worse. His own QC has cast doubt upon his character 

 

He'll retain his Father of the nation status in the eyes of many 

 

Big bad Unionists seeking to bring down poor old Eck. I suspect in reality those who had issue with him was much much closer to those of which he shares political allegiance 


A bit hibs this post too. Why can’t you just accept the verdict and forget about it?

See that just makes you sound exactly like those I was describing. You appear angry that he was found innocent of the criminal charges. It’s really really weird.

 

The thread was about his criminal charges, so discussing his ‘sleaziness’ is actually detracting from the topic, rather than the other way around.

 

I’ve barely read any posts from SNP and Indy supporters claiming his behaviour is okay. Almost to a poster they think he’s a creep because of it. 
 

The unionists on the other hand are all pretending like he was found guilty. As I said, it’s just odd.

This.

I'm not angry at all. Sorry if that's not really really odd or really really weird 

 

He has been found innocent.  I accept that. I suspected that would be the outcome all along 

 

I do however believe in reality he is rather more than a "creep" 

 

I appreciate the nationalists aren't comfortable with any denouncing of the Fuhrer figure

Spencer, read what I posted and digest it. I and no other independence supporters that I can recall on here are suggesting he isn’t a bit sleazy and creepy. Everyone is accepting that to be the case. He is being denounced. You are howling at the moon as though people are behaving differently to how they are... it’s all in your own head. :lol:
 

The unionists on the other hand are suggesting he’s guilty of criminal behaviour.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

 

In any normal country, Salmond would disappear with his 5 pensions and that would be the last of him.

 

Scotland is not normal.

Spencer?? What are you on about? 

 

Imagine the scenario if one or more or his accusers were members of SNP, perhaps even prominent. What would that have to do with Unionists?

We are talking about allegations of attempt to rape here. Allegations that were deemed sufficiently serious to go to trial 

 

I think your remarks are crass. Judging by some of the content of your other posts I'm not surprised

Yet again, he was cleared of these allegations. Why are you persisting that he is guilty? 
 

You should be careful what you post on social media, you’re in danger of finding yourself in the dock next.

You appeared to make light of the allegations made. I think you're aware that's what you did 

 

I accept he's been found innocent.  How many times do I need to state that

Where anywhere on this thread have I done that? I’ve ribbed all the Unionists who were clapping their hands in glee at this trial for months and months.

Look, the allegations were serious. Sufficiently serious for Police Scotland and CPS to believe allegations should be heard in Court under Trial 

 

You've twice now made comments which appear to make light and possibly even mock those he was alleged to have attacked 

 

You're evidently a rabid nationalist.  Nationalism is something that cant be reasoned with. You illustrate that

He was found not guilty. Maybe you can look forward to the evidence AS is going to release after this pandemic is over.

Indeed. But I think to seek to mock those who accused him is beneath contempt 

 

Touching any female in a manner which is unwanted, intrusive, inappropriate or could make them uncomfortable is simply unacceptable.  Particularly in the work place

You actually said Red Rum, yet more evidence that evidence given in court could be fabricated. :)

I have to say, this thread is now becoming borderline libellous.

 

He was found not guilty on all but one charge, which was not proven. The trial is over.

 

Discussions about him, his character and politics belongs in another thread. This should be closed IMO.

You say you accept he is innocent, and then you keep falling back on the fact that it went to trial, as though that should have been enough to assume he was guilty. 
 

See if I was one of you furious unionists who are seething at the verdict for political reasons, I’d be going down the splits in the SNP route, instead of this pathetic attempt to make muck stick.

 

I actually think Salmond will do a fair old bit of damage by attempting to return to politics with the SNP and unfortunately there are those who will back him and turn on Sturgeon.

 

It would do any damage to the independence movement, but it will be damaging to the SNP I reckon.

There are those out there who think people’s desire for independence lives or dies with the SNP. They think that it’s a political decision based on their love of the SNP and that they only want independence because the SNP want it. It’s actually quite ridiculous when you think about it. 🤣

There have been thread closed for less.

There was only one allegation of attempted rape as far as i remember. The basis of the decision to take this to trial will i think reflect badly on the procurator fiscal service as it will with most or maybe all of the other charges. 

The attempted rape allegation was easily countered with the defence clearly demonstrating with the use of witness testimony that the accuser was not in Bute house for the event she claimed to have attended at the time the attempted rape was alleged to have taken place. Salmond had no case to answer since she wasn't there at the time she said she was there. 

  How does that reflect badly on Salmond?

Quite. Their grasp on political reality is miles off.

 

But thats what happens when you succumb to the online Bilbe's of Effie Deans and Historywifie.

I don't like the SNP, I don't particularly like Alex Salmond. He was found not guilty on majority of I charges and not proven on other. Like it or lump it, he is innocent. End of discussion.

Quite a long read, little eye opener as far as the Westminster 4 are concerned.

 

So this is what some of us have known for almost a year now. It's pretty devastating. And it's the truth.

Interesting read. 
It’s certainly got some distance to go too.
