It is really difficult to work out who is the goodie and who the baddie in all this, for a social Democratic Party, the SNP are very keen on censorship. Alex Salmond was cleared of all allegations of sexual misconduct, yet the SNP supposedly wants to keep evidence secret to protect the identity of those who made the complaints. Seems fair enough, until you learn the alleged connections between the complainants. Disregard for legal advice that they would lose, leading to a bill of over £700K to the taxpayer.
Personally, I am hoping this blows the SNP apart. Whilst Ms Sturgeon has been front and centre with all the news, good and bad, in Scotland though the epidemic, their record on education, drugs, all the things they control, rather than Whitehall, is dire. Those of you whom have read a few of my posts may be surprised that I think Ruth Davidson would make a much better FM.
I'm not convinced they are a social democratic party. Far too keen on state control over people's lives.It is really difficult to work out who is the goodie and who the baddie in all this, for a social Democratic Party, the SNP are very keen on censorship.

The cynic in me thinks that finding any goodies here might just be a very testing task even for someone with your admirable faith in human nature TM.It is really difficult to work out who is the goodie and who the baddie in all this

Correct about the SNP and correct about Davidson. Johnson's a fool for causing her to resign from the leadership of the Scottish Tories.It is really difficult to work out who is the goodie and who the baddie in all this, for a social Democratic Party, the SNP are very keen on censorship.

There is a lot of factionalism in the SNP. With little credible opposition in Scotland at present there is no external opponent to unite against. Add into the mix the overweening ambition of Sturgeon and the bullying manner of Salmond and there will be blood on the floor. Whether the average Scottish voter takes any notice is moot, given the prevailing “Braveheart” attitudes against the English. But when the money runs out after independence, they will turn on the SNP.What’s that saying? Nature abhors a vacuum. And in the absence of any credible opposition in Scotland the SNP is fighting a civil war.
You want to understand Scottish politics??What I don't understand about Scotland and the SNP is the fact that they have a man at Westminster, Ian Blackford, who is also a pro-nationalist, yet on the other hand, is asking the Chancellor for £98billion, whilst also being criticised for re-publishing a picture of the Scottish Border with a sign saying F--- Off we're closed. Language not befitting his position and for which he is refusing to apologise. Meanwhile, the two disputants in Scotland slug it out in court, yet the Scottish people, on the whole, seem to love them and if they do achieve independence will then live under a dictatorship.
They are definitely not loved by all the Scottish people.What I don't understand about Scotland and the SNP is the fact that they have a man at Westminster, Ian Blackford, who is also a pro-nationalist, yet on the other hand, is asking the Chancellor for £98billion, whilst also being criticised for re-publishing a picture of the Scottish Border with a sign saying F--- Off we're closed.

I see as Salmond's evidence was published as agreed, then redacted as not agreed, he is now no longer appearing tomorrow. He has asked to brief MSPs, if that doesn't happen, I think he will go the Press Conference route. For those of you who have not followed this, if evidence isn't published, it cannot be used in the report, so he has basically been censored.
There's a bit of me that think today's Scottish Lockdown dogs breakfast was designed to take focus off the inquiry, and I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories.
