Then there's the biggest threat to independence itself ( Stuart Campbell) who Alex Salmond went to visit pouring petrol on anything and everything to do with the FM.   I suspect when Stuart was paid to appear on the Alex Salmond show the cheque was bigger than normal in return for his daily ad nauseam articles attacking Nicola Sturgeon.    

I can't take any issue with that.  What a fucking state of affairs when Sleepy Cuddles Salmond, Whinge over Scotland and Brillo Pad Neil are keeping the light on for the union in Scotland.

Looks the twittterati are after Fabiani now.

On the face of it (I've not dug too deep yet) she seems to have not declared an interest in a company that she's director of.

 

 

Can anyone on here shed some light on this?

It is a non-profit company limited by guarantee with no share capital.  Highly unlikely that no pecuniary interests or financial benefits for the directors.  Probably does not need to be declared under the rules.

Why don’t you just stfu, seeing as you’ve got absolutely nothing to say (and seeing as that’s what you did last time when offered the chance to put your money where your mouth is)?
I thought the Granny man had won the zoomer of the week/year/decade prize for his comment about ‘party discipline’, but your idea that Salmond and his proxies are ‘drip-dripping’ stuff is on a whole different level of stupid...
Literally THE WHOLE FUCKIN POINT is that Salmond has been legally prevented form stating his position, before, during, and after the trial.
Time to choose, brainy boy: either Salmond has decided to make the biggest c**t of himself in the history of Scotland, Europe, the world (cos ‘ego’, ‘revenge’, ‘he’s bitter’)... or the process of government in Scotland has been corrupted at every level.
We’ll know soon enough, eh?
Of course there's proxies - where do you think the rags are getting their stories from?

Instead of leaking stuff to the papers he really needs to appear without any preconditions.

That's the real fucking issue - Salmond wants to appear on his terms only.

You’ve got to love the seethe from zoomers like Ghostie.   Sitting battering away in tears on a keyboard because the world won’t agree with you.

He/she/they will be apoplectic come the results of the Holyrood elections.

Cheers.

Still looks dodgy when she's talking about it in questions but not highlighting the fact she's a director.

Maybe, but I wonder if the Mark Hirst guy will point out it’s a non-profit, or maybe he knew this when he did his initial tweet.

If that is the case then the Union is in a terminal  condition.

Salmond's ratings in Scotland are lower than Johnson 's now and his are through the floor.  The problem for Salmond is that he  is tainted by accusations and attacking a generally popular First Minister doesn't go down well as it just looks like a raging rant from a man with an ego the size of the planet.. As for Wings he had his uses a few years ago. His ability to call bullshit on the MSM was welcome but he's said the most atrocious things on Twitter towards the LGBT community which were unforgiveable and he was rightly banned.

Brillo is another Murdoch poodle. with a rampaging ego. His new Gammon news channel because the MSM and dribbling shite like Talk Radio are obviously not right wing enough will hopefully die miserably on its arse.

Andrew Neil has had absolutely no connection with Murdoch or his companies for more than 20 years.

Please check your facts.

If I am classed as one of your zoomers, then you are right.  I am in tears because Scotland is so close to becoming Independent and we are about to f**k it up.  
As for the rest of your post, I will be celebrating that win. 
 
He is insisting that all his evidence be published in full.

That's entirely different from presenting his evidence.

It seems now there may be a compromise position from the Spectator legal challenge.

Redacting the evidence so that the principle of protecting the anonymity of the complainants is clearly the best route.

If Salmond cannot accept that then clearly the enquiry will collapse.

This is not an enquiry into the actions is Mr Salmond.....it is the enquiry into the unlawful actions of scotgov and it's civil servants that has cost us all (and continues to cost us) a shed load of money. Needless to say their behaviour nearly cost Salmond a whole lot more. 

He wants his evidence heard in full. I don't blame him.

The civil service legal teams action to prevent Salmonds evidence has caused Lady Dorrian to step in and ammend her definition of what would constitute a contempt. His evidence should now be able to be heard.

This whole thing just makes scotgov and it's civil service look obstructive and a bit shady tbh.

There is actually a technical point here regarding his submission in that if it is not published by the committee then it cannot be taken into account in the final report.

If it is redacted as the revised court order is suggesting then it can be published.

You would assume that redaction would be up to the committee itself (following legal advice) so it does not reveal the identity of the complainants.
