If I was a civil servant I'd tell them to GTF unless they have specific criminal allegations against me, and then leave it to neutral actors like the Procurator Fiscal's department. If there's a concern about Linda Fabiani's bias then I agree. A full judge led enquiry seems reasonable. Like it or not, whatsapp messages may be of interest if a convenor/judge/investigator deems it to be so. I believe it is more than whatsapp messages that are being witheld. However whatsapp messages which are about live investigations are not personal messages. Government has a duty to be transparent, it's business is not conducted in secret. Salmond's legaacy is upto him (and his conduct leaves a lot to be desired) but I expect better from government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 1 hour ago, John Lambies Doos said: He really needs to move aside. He is in danger of jeopardising the independence march, something that he claimed was not about him. Thank you for your service Alex, you are a free innocent man, now please do your country a service by enjoying your well earned retirement. Correct but the thing is that this and Farrier is all the unionists and the anti SNP lot have to go on and and on and on and on until they see it's getting them nowhere. They are trying to discredit a government which is in the midst of battling an ever increasing pandemic. You can bet your house on the Blurt ignoring the crisis we are in and again, as she did last week, ask questions over Salmond during FMQ's. We all know the tory Blurt has no shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted a laughable story about the FM lying and you've changed the subject about Dominic Cummings... way to hold your leaders to account and scrutiny, why bother doing that when you can just talk about Tories... https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/nicola-sturgeon-phone-signal-cutting-out-due-train-travel-reason-behind-delayed-withdrawal-whip-margaret-ferrier-3000862 -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current pandemic has no bearing on the government's accountability for its previous actions. It's like saying that the UK government should not be getting questioned on their Brexit strategy, what with them having a pandemic to deal with. Utter nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) You'd have thought high up civil servants would have to keep diaries to note stuff like this. I think this political trial is a bad idea though, should have been judge led and not opposition MPs trawling for dirt. Most of these tweets from the inquiry seem to be from rabid yoons, I'm reserving judgement. P.S. One of them, Jane Lax, retweeted Katie Hopkins in between tweets about the enquiry.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There would be a terrible irony if Salmonds beasty behaviour and pig headedness caused Sturgeon to be ousted and killed independence for a long time. But he clearly cares not a jot about how he is viewed taking the kremlins money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
