Vinnie Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Is this actually linked to the sexual harrassment investigation, or is this something new? Are the Guardian using the sexual harassment investigation as a filler until more info is known? ETA - no confirmation of actual charge as yet. Looks like media are indeed using the sexual harrassment case as a filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hes been working with the Russians. Im going out on a limb and saying he's a spy. And that he's also on the payroll of Leeds United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguinePar Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think it's worth saying that since this is a live criminal case, we should all be careful not to speculate too much on here. If I goes to trial it should be a fair one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think the mishandling of the internal Holyrood investigation might affect any fairness of any trial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wouldn't have thought so, surprised given the seriousness of the charges involved that it has taken so long to offer an arrest warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not be the same complainants. But even if it is, didn't the Holyrood investigation fall apart because the person leading it had a prior professional relationship with the two complainants? If so, then that wouldn't impact on a criminal trial I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im simply thinking that if Im his lawyer, the whole "witch-hunt", "mishandled investigation", "trial by media" cards will be played at every turn. Youll be hard pressed to find folk who havent already decided whether he's guilty or not, because of the media coverage so far. I think the disappointing thing about this for a lot of people, is that folk have delighted in their ire of Westminster sleaze, while Holyrood was forgotten about. Now Holyrood has its own sleazy story. How many other secrets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Two different cases Vinnie. One isn’t attributable to the other, although I can understand why the public think they are. Also altho he won his civil case , this is now a criminal case and won’t even necessarily mean he has the same solicitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon has had a number of private meetings with him over this according to various media outlets. She's potentially going to be dragged right into this. Surely makes her position as First Minister a little shoogly pegged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartshaft Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 100% fabricated evidence by the British state. They have history with this kind of thing. I feel sorry for him having to go through this. It may actually have the opposite affect from what the Brotish state want and galvanise Scot's desire for Indy. Who wants to be part of this horrible corrupt country the call Great Britain anymore. It's horrible. See beloe link for their previous with things like this.https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/01/the-uk-government-manufacture-of-false-sexual-allegations/?fbclid=IwAR2dUozimatzy9ihETFxdOTrnRlblQ7fLF2jAxEIXvoxXrkGRez0R3fp4aA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
