Absolute disgrace I just hope this does not disappear and people are held to account for what has happened 

Over £500k of tax payers money wasted and then we find out a further £50k spent on coaching civil servants to give evidence, if your telling the truth why do you need coaching?

An article written by a Labour politician for a Centre-right newspaper....

No risk of bias there then.

 

 

An opinion piece at that.

The Scotsman was once a respected quality broadsheet here, they lost claim to that title a long time ago. 

BBC is also pro-union, I’m surprised that they don’t float the boat of the OP. But getting your news on YouTube....

In this particular instance there is undoubtably a great many questions that stem from the process and the management of that process before even delving into the various allegations.

The fact that Lady Dorian described the committee's and COPFS legal interpretation and judgement in respect to not hearing evidence in this case due to a confidentiality order in a separate case as being "absurd" should be enough to ring alarm bells.

The explanation of Lady Dorian's ruling to be issued on Monday will be pivotal to what happens next and I expect there will be significant discomfort amongst the upper echelons of the SNP.

The wheels are starting to come of the wagon for the ruling elite of the SNP, there is civil war within the party and it is only going to get worse.  A potential 50,000 party members resigning from the SNP in the course of a month such is the level of unhappiness.

The suggestion that it may have been a potential list candidate for an SNP MSP seat, who is himself the partner of a sitting male SNP MP, made a threat on twitter of 'a corrective raping' to another female SNP MP shows the staggering level of discord in that party.  The fact the party leadership have not made a specific statement in support of the female MSP is bewildering.

The reason for the threat of a 'corrective rape'?  The female MSP had the temerity to suggest that sex is an immutable characteristic and women should not lose their protected rights in the face of the extreme trans lobby that is gaining significant influence in the SNP.

Setting aside whether they are left or right leaning, pro independence or against, it staggers me that any woman in Scotland would want to vote for a party that is actively pursuing policies to erode their rights and their very sexual identity.

There are a couple of ongoing court cases in Scotland and likely to be another couple that will really bring into clarity the level of corruption at the top of the SNP, too many people know and the truth will soon break through the increasingly flimsy legal barrier the SNP leadership have built around it.  The evidence is already in the hands of journalists, some of whom are SNP party members and it is only a matter of time until that is made clear to all.

The £500,000 paid to Salmond pales into insignificance in the face of the £24m paid out, so far, as compensation as a result of an admitted malicious prosecution by the COPFS (Scottish Government) in the Rangers takeover debacle.  The potential yet exists for that bill to the tax payer to reach in excess of £100m because the Scottish Government maliciously set out to falsely prosecute private individuals.

The sad thing through all of this, that those who are so fixated on Scottish Independence are entirely content to turn a blind eye to any wrongdoing, they are actively encouraging others to stay silent and not risk any damage to the reputation of the SNP, and specifically the brand of Sturgeon, no matter how corrupt the leadership may be, in case it damages the indy cause.

They genuinely don't care the leader of their party may have been complicit in a scheme that could have seen an innocent man spend the remainder of his life in jail, they do not care that sitting MP's are threatened with a 'corrective rape' and those that make that threat are buoyed and motivated by the words of the First Minister, they do not care that the justice secretary is actively promoting a bill that would see private family discussions around the dinner table subject to police action if someone even disagrees with the notion that a man can be a woman just because he says so.

Appreciate this post is probably very boring and dry to most on here, but i find it quite sickening how so many in Scotland are prepared to sacrifice integrity and decency in not even considering the potential of corruption at the very top of the SNP.  To be so fixated by a single ideology that corruption and malicious prosecution of private individuals by the state is completely ignored!  In some cases the SNAT's are genuinely suggesting it is an MI5 campaign.

Absolutely correct

What we are witnessing is a digrace, the way this government blocks and obstructs any investigation into its dealings is staggering but not unsurprising. You only have to watch the FM's briefings or FMQ's and she will not answer anyone that dares question what she and her government do.

They are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, do as I say not as I do!

It's also interesting the amount of spin fired out to the SNP faithful on Facebook (probably Twitter too but I am not on it) whenever there is something bad happening for the SNP such as the above and it seems to work well as they refuse to see anything other than the perceived end game of independence.

Their core following are blind to the truth and would never dare question their leader

I don't understand that in 2014 the SNP were prepared to take Scotland out of the EU for their own goal to achieve independence but now cite the reason for wanting independence is to get back in the EU which they have no guarantee of anyway

BTW I see the SG have lost a further £50m on the investment in BiFab, incompetent is been generous when describing the SG
