Shouldn't this topic be renamed... King Alex of Scotland is in very deep st.

Isn't that a different offence?

Aha. The 'some of my best friends are...' defence.

Fair and balanced news is RT. Corbyn said so.

I used to watch "the Kaiser", quite enjoyed that. Is it still on?

“The Scottish government has paid out more than £500,000 in legal expenses to Alex Salmond over its flawed inquiry into sexual harassment claims.

The government admitted breaching its own guidelines after the former first minister challenged how allegations against him were handled.

He still faces multiple charges of attempted rape and sexual assault, which are separate to this review.”

I though it was the SNP that mucked up the internal investigation rather than the Scottish government.

I'm guessing someone has already used the 'Salmond doesn't like the word NO' gag?

[CAPP0]

Blimey, that's some list to try and wriggle your way out of.

[anonymous-user]

Similar modus operandi as well.

[Macron]

"Speaking outside court after the brief hearing, Mr Salmond said he was innocent of the charges against him, and would defend himself "vigorously" during the trial"

Sounds like there's been enough vigour!

His crimes sound like a 1970s BBC TV star.

Except that it's all in relatively recent history, not stuff having to be dredged up from the 60s-80s like the BBC misbehaviour

[Ayahuasca]

I wonder if the charges coming out now will damage the SNP in the election ?


In one way it is all old news, so it shouldn’t, in another way it is not want the SNP want associated with their name at this time.

14!! against 10 fking women!!!

Jesus wept!!

[marksx]

Some of the charges sound a bit tenuous don't they?

Not even put down to specific dates. Year a or b etc.

[technodup]

Far be it from me to defend the guy, but touching an arm or leg over clothing = sexual assault? Really?

It's not a good look is it. One or two, you could create doubt. 10! He's in the cactus.

Guess you missed the "attempting to kiss" that's in nearly all of them then
