    Even during the trial (where he was acquitted !) he stated while giving evidence that he had made inappropriate sexual moves on two civil servants! How the crown couldn't make a case on any of it was almost mind boggling.

    Seeking sex with an adult woman isn’t a crime though, is it? 

    He was found not guilty on all criminal charges and the government findings against him were quashed by the highest civil court in the land. 

    Do you wish a crime had been committed?

    No one is blaming Unionists for this.  We are talking about the Unionist reaction and how much they appear to be cuck losers.

    But what else do you expect and why even care? We have bigger fish to fry than worrying about unionists right now. 

    The damage that has been done to independence by Sturgeon, Murrell and their followers is an absolute disaster. Focus needs to be on resolving this and getting away from it.

    Those two clowns, their acolytes and all those who have ignored to destruction of the party over the last 7 years are a disgrace.

    Absolute fucking cucks.  Getting hard/wet over being governed by another country who sees us as a millstone. 

    It’s hard to blame Unionists for this one. This is all entirely self inflicted and the people to blame are Sturgeon, Murrell and all their supporters who would not listen to concerns from within the party and instead mercilessly trampled on what they saw as dissent.

    I havent paid a huge amount of attention to this guy for a couple of years, but had another look this week.

    The guy has got - if anything - even worse.

    His tweets are bad enough, but the people who follow him are absolute bampots. Its actually quite difficult to take any of it seriously.

    Campbells scattergun tendency to tag people as "bad yins" then claim he is itk when one of his many crackpot theories comes true is hilarious.

    He is dangerous as well - he tweeted yesterday about his "list of journalists he told about the Murrell story" . Some of the stuff his followers tweeted in response would be scary if you happened to be one of those named journalists.

    Got any examples of these scary tweets?

    Missing? You clearly haven't followed UK politics for long. The rate parties (ALL political parties) get through cash at is eye watering. You also now appear to be inventing a completely new financial "scandal" when the reality is political parties have always spunked cash as if it grew on trees. I suspect if there was a grain of substance to your allegation the gutter press would have been all over it for years. 

    Yes, because the media were very keen to get on board with the missing £600k.

    There there. We’ll see.

    There's been a few but not those numbers. 

    You're confusing yourself with posts that pointed out that Salmond could be innocent yet his behaviour could be seen to be creepy and inappropriate.

    They are not mutually exclusive positions.

    I’m not. And neither set of people were in court, with much of the evidence heard secret to this day. Salmond was acquitted by a majority female jury in front of a female judge. 

    The cries of “innocent until proven guilty!” from these people this time around are going to be a hoot.

    Salmond was acquitted because of staggering levels of incompetence in the crown office.

    The suggestion that he was in some way the innocent victim (when there were about 12 complainants who put their careers on the line) is ludicrous in the extreme.

    See?

    I don't think I would have been too upset if I'd donated to the fund and they blew it on the 2019 GE campaign, given the result. No idea what the legal framework of this was, but as usual, the major legal jeopardy likely concerns a cover up rather than the allocation of funds, unless the allegations involve actual theft or breaking electoral spending rules.

    The real question is what has happened to the £30m of membership fees that came in between 2014 and 2019.
     

    For an organisation with as few employees and overheads as the SNP that’s quite the windfall when their membership rose from 25000 to 125,000. 

    Employee Headcount didn’t increase. MPs, MSPs their staff and cooncilors get their pay elsewhere. 
     

    so where did the £30m windfall go?

  10. The thing I’m really looking forward to most of all is the cry of “innocent until proven guilty” from the people who found Salmond guilty before his trial and even still found him guilty after he was actually acquitted. 

    That’s going to be some cheek. Chortlesville, Wisconsin.
