Bishop Briggs Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Eck is on the warpath again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-55593864 Former first minister Alex Salmond has accused Nicola Sturgeon of misleading parliament, calling her evidence to the inquiry into sexual harassment claims made against him "simply untrue". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Salmond’s mindset seems to be “that’s YES consistently over 50% in the polls and a Scottish Parliamentary election on the horizon; this is the perfect time to try to undermine Sturgeon”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find much on it, had a look at Wings and he's decided that Evans is going to jail, Sturgeon will lose a vote of no confidence and possibly also go to jail, and Swinney too for good measure. Below The Line, Campbell is being touted for a Pulitzer and others are decrying a wider conspiracy against men. So.... aye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Again, I can only imagine that's because if Salmond, Sturgeon et al 'told the truth' exactly as the shrieking heads are demanding, it would immediately dismantle the anonymity of at least one of the women who made the original allegations Edited January 13, 2021 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting spin on things. Here's what his legal representative has to say. BTW 1) Salmond isn't a criminal. He was acquitted of all charges in the recent trial, and AFAIK, he had no previous convictions 2) The inquiry isn't into his "criminality" 3) The inquiry relates to the Scottish Government's botched complaint handling procedure But you knew all that already, didn't you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That oath states that he will tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" The prosecution witnesses in his criminal trial have their identities protected by a court order. If he answers any question relating to any actions taken by any of these witnesses and that answer could be considered to aid identification of that witness (including jigsaw investigation), he may commit a criminal act. To give an extreme example, what can he do if the inquiry directly asks him "who is witness Z?" Should he commit contempt by answering the question truthfully, or should he commit contempt by refusing to answer?

That's why I gave it as an extreme example. However, if someone knew or suspected the identities of any of the witnesses, it would not be difficult to frame a question that would be impossible to answer fully without getting into jigsaw identification territory. That's one reason why I gave such an extreme example. I could easily have asked a far more pertinent question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
