G-MAN Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Think the naive idiots on twitter need to calm down. Don’t think they realise what can happen with some of their tweets tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/ This is what I get as a front page, I noticed the storyis half way down the page under Scottish News. If he has done wrong then he should be taken to task. If this was a genuine groundbreaking story I'm sure the Record would present it as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This is very strange story. The fact Salmond himself has felt he had to act and therefore bring it into the public domain is interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm interested why the daily record headline is that he's reported to the 'cops' instead of the police. Was the alleged assault in America? Apologies for not taking this seriously if it does turn out to be true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the thing, nae doubt the MSM would go full on Michelle Thomson on it, guilty until proven innocent but even the reaction is just daft. Seems a lot of political semantics. See how it comes out in the wash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Difference here folks is that it’s the Party that has proceeded (years after the event). Politically, words won’t describe how damaging this is for both. Taking politics away, just hope this is not true. [emoji20] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does come across as though the only reason they've got this story is because Eck's made it public. Seems like nobody else is willing to talk about it at all. Wonder what happened in December 2013 that triggered this apparent rampage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Seems odd that the DR is claiming to have known about it for some time yet they could have made the claims during the height of the #metoo movement and probably have done more damage. He must be pretty sure of an exoneration by his statement. The BBC article on it is as you would expect, his statement says he refutes all the allegations, some are ridiculous, the BBC's quote is "on the allegations", Salmond says some are ridiculous. He came across as a bit of a creep during the indyref with his habit of hugging women, cheek to cheek in selfies but I imagine the accusations may be stronger. Like a few famous people that have been accused, I hope it isn't true and like all accused he is innocent until proven guilty, if he is guilty, then he deserves everything he gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that he's "finally brought this process to light." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 As it stands you have to be deeply sceptical. The fact Salmond has brought it to attention himself in full knowledge it may harm the SG in the press is revealing. Why has nothing been said before.? Most importantly if the police were previously informed, they will no doubt have thoroughly investigated..what was the outcome? Something is not right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I would imagine that there's probably something absolutely unrelated to this going on here that will begin to play out in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
