Alex Salmond - court case concluded

[georgew]

For those who are at all interested in learning the facts about the case (damn few it seems), I recommend this piece from Craig Murray, a former British Ambassador who has monitored the Salmond case.

Murray has an agenda, as much as any pro-unionist commentator, and his agenda includes what is essentially a unilateral declaratio of Scottish independence. With support (or not) for independence so closely poised this would seem to be the rashest of proposals.

Furthermore Murray blamed Israel for the Skripal poisonings in Salisbury. To take Murray at his word is chancey at best.

I'm not sure that this would be a secret to any informed person.

Again......you do understand that this matter concerns two opposing groups....both of which are SNP....right. Both of these support independence so what Murray being "pro-independence" has to do with it I have no idea.

Craig Murray also has personal experience of being smeared by MI5 when he was the UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan and had the temerity to complain of the UK's complicity in torture by that country's authorities.

That was the honourable thing to do of course.......probably followed the examples of all those Ministers in Government when they committed huge cock-ups.......oh....hang-on a minute..........

Cock-up vs professional malpractice is an interesting debate I think.

In the Salmond case...given there are texts and the creation of an Instagram account in order to co-ordinate the accusations by the accusers against the defendant.......a cock-up seems a wee bit unlikely.

I was talking about Ministers who make bad errors in Government vs the Advocate who breached his professional code. I wasn't talking about anything to do with conspiracies real or otherwise against Salmond, as you also weren't in the post I responded to?
