If you recall: Alex Salmond was accused of 14 offences, including two counts of attempted rape, nine of sexual assault, two of indecent assault, and one of breach of the peace; it ended his association with the SNP (the court case and media "circus" was overshadowing party matters, so he quit) and what was the result of the trial?
One charge of sexual assault withdrawn (before it got to court); twelve not guilty; one not proven (insufficient evidence). Salmond was awarded £500,000 (costs); it damaged the party and the prosecution had already been advised not to proceed, as the action was likely to fail. Odd that, isn't it?
Still it was the season to be smeared, see Jeremy Corbyn: over half of the bullying allegations came from one person; Hodge and her millionaire buddy using the Jewish press to claim they were victims and the right-wing press (just like now) saturating the news (likely as a useful distraction from: PM Johnson; the fragile UK economy; remaining in the EU (best of three? etc).
Now I've not seen anything worth voting for in some time; I'm becoming increasing suspicious of the media trying to lead people by the nose; I do not trust the Tory/ Tory light Westminster government and if Nicola Sturgeon has a lot to explain (although no charges have been made) it would be to a Scottish court and not the "Daily Telegraph" or the "Glasgow Herald".
I've been encouraged not to deal in "whataboutism"; but compared to Westminster, don't you find potential financial scandals in Holyrood to be "small beer": currently there are legal matters surrounding the third last PM; plus millions and billions diverted to: an America/Russia proxy war; a Garden Bridge (never happened); HS2 cost over-run (something the Tories will likely sell off); an incredibly long list of financial "errors", proposed unfunded tax cuts for millionaires (nearly blew the pension funds), while bets against the pound paid handsomely.
So while UKplc continues to get asset stripped, by real companies, is this Scottish scandal really about a £110,000 motor home?
In other words, the UK (Pentagon leaks) is involved in a direct war with a nuclear superpower; people in an oil rich country can't afford to turn on the heating; food inflation is going "through the roof"; civil unrest (across Europe) and yet the far-right media wants us to focus on a court case that might happen (or not); the financial "health" of a political rival (while banks; hotel and catering; small businesses close)........ ever feel you are being diverted?....... and when it comes to charitable contributions of "lethal aid", charity begins at home, does it not?
It's characters like Blair that should be in court; this is another "side-show" and the courts take ages, so see you same time next year. Now that Stormy lass...
