Pride of Scotland
Pride of Scotland
Alex Salmond is in Edinburgh High Court this morning for the preliminary hearing of his impending trial. Following some sort of misunderstanding he is facing a total of 14 charges including one of attempted rape, 11 charges of sexual and indecent assault, some of which allegedly occurred numerous times, and two common law charges of indecent assault dating to 2008. Salmond has repeatedly denied the charges.
In a further alleged sexual assault charge, Salmond is accused of kissing and groping another woman at Bute House in December 2013, and pinning her to a bed. The indictment says “this you did with the intent to rape her”.
This travesty of justice, no doubt created by the Westminster Elite, will soon be dismissed after a vigorous defence, or so we are told, if not someone may soon have rather a lot of time on his hands.

Perhaps something was lost in translation? - or were the victims Weegies?

Re: Pride of Scotland
I found the detail of pushing her against a wall, undressing her, undressing himself, then lying on top of her before attempting rape as improbable if not impossible. It may be missing some detail.

Re: Pride of Scotland
Here he is, the reference to the election doesn't make any sense, it looks like we shall be furnished with detail (or "circumstances" ) during the forthcoming trial.

It's the against the wall bit.

Some good puns about this on TOP. OK, I confess, I go slumming there now and then.

Re: Pride of Scotland
Hopefully for him, just like Indyref1, this will be a “once in a lifetime event”?
The thought of him even trying some of these manoeuvres with an unwilling female really puts me off my breakfast cereal !
Pity they couldn’t just get on with the trial during the General Election as it might have damaged the campaign of the Wee Krankie.

Re: Pride of Scotland
This may well turn out to be proven, but I doubt it.
Salmond has his faults, but if being a perv was one of them, why did he marry his much older wife?
Not exactly the behaviour of Jeffrey Epstein is it?
Still, in the fullness of time we shall know the verdict.
My money is on 'not proven'.

Re: Pride of Scotland
“Why did he marry his....wife?”.
Standard cover used by gays through history to disguise their proclivities so why not use to cover up an interest in the younger prey?

Re: Pride of Scotland
There are two facts that people find surprising about Moira Salmond, the wife of Scotland’s First Minister.
The first is that she is 17 years older than he is – now 82, she was 43 to his 26 when they married in 1981. The second is that she exists at all.
As a civil servant, she met her future husband when they were both working for the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries in Scotland.
He was a junior economist; she was a senior administrator, and his boss.
At the time he was still living with his parents and their marriage on 6 May 1981 proved the catalyst for him to finally move out. At that point, she gave up her job to concentrate on running their home, and taught him to drive.

Re: Pride of Scotland
I admit I didn't realise she was 82!
I can see how that might turn into a problem for him, at work.
Oh dear.

Re: Pride of Scotland
I read a more detailed account of the charges against Salmond, mainly groping and being a pest, it looks like the right on leftie establishment in Scotland have decided to impose a bit of PC and Metoo and make a big deal out of it.
This will be hugely embarrassing (and hugely expensive) for Salmond, even a thick skinned oaf like him will find this difficult, but I bet his lawyer chews up the witness's and I bet that at the end he walks away.
This will be damaging for the SNP (good) and excellent entertainment for the rest of us, but I suspect the money could be better spent on teaching parents in Scotland the correct way to smack naughty children.

I thought Salmond was a part of the right on, leftie establishment?
Could it be, that same is a crock of *****?
I think we should be told!

Re: Pride of Scotland
Yes, but he let them down and didn't achieve independence, if he had gained independence and was Prime Minister of Scotland none of this would have happened. Same with Bercow, I expect there will be a surge of women complaining about his bullying and swearing now that he has resigned.I thought Salmond was a part of the right on, leftie establishment?
Most of this grubby behaviour was tolerated because of who he was, now he isn't who he was it isn't tolerated. The details will be most enjoyable, but I bet that he walks away and carries on being the Voice of Russia or whatever it is he is doing now, one thing for sure, he will be skint after all this.

As a Scot, and one who'd prefer to see an independent Scotland.....I have some sympathy for what you wrote, sadly.
Had he cracked the vote back in 2014, putting his hand up his secretary's skirt would definitely be less of an issue.
So, he pays the price of failure.
It was ever thus.
