good to see the fair minded english posters taking notice of a scottish based story.

they usually show no interest at all what goes on north of harrogate , what pricks their interest i wonder ?

Just seeing what's happening with all that English extra funding that goes up there. £1500 per head more than the UK as a whole, was it?

Doesn't seem like very good VFM

Let’s hope there is a question about as Salmond whenever Sturgeon is interviewed in this campaign.

And as Prince Andrew is being hung out to rot over his association with a sex offender, should the same treatment not be dished out to Sturgeon? What did she know and when?

If you are looking a few moves ahead, I think this is the key issue.

TV mews last night had him making a statement about winning the civil case. That was about the application of procedure. Nothing about where he may or may not have been putting his hands.

ome blokes pretty much can. I used to manage a team with several attractive young women in it. We also had a pot bellied, glasses wearing, awful dresser guy of a few years older. They'd complain to me when he got too touchy feely, hugs etc. I guarantee this was primarily because they didn't find him attractive, not because of the hug per se. On a regular basis I'd see exactly the same thing involving better looking, younger guys and there'd be no complaint, and no 'offence'.

Obviously there are other factors at play in Salmond's case, seniority and persistence to name two, but it remains that if he was 30 years younger and good looking it would be a source of excitement at the water cooler, not a court case. Women don't generally get offended at good looking guys trying it on, and certainly wouldn't call it sexual assault (not at the touch on leg/attempted kiss stage anyway). Fat old men are different. I'm just not sure a law which essentially says 'if you're not in my league stay away' is the right way to go.

The attempted rape, pulling a dress up etc is clearly another level. I'm only talking about the stuff which happens every day, in every country forever, yet we now consider it beyond the pale. But only for ugly s.

Wow..!!!!

If we're not careful we'll be giving them the vote soon too.....

Is it 1635 again?

Jeez, techno.

Are you left on your own unsupervised?

I really don't understand what the issue is tbh, but equally I don't really care, so...

If you use that logic...if you want to call it that...then ugly fat bds should know their station and not get above it.

Problem is that there are court proceedings active so they won't comment. Something mentioned on the radio yesterday was the Scots law relating to commenting on court cases is even stronger than English law so no one will say anything. More's the pity.

There was a lady stood beside him outside the court smiling. Was this his wife?

I asked my wife what her reaction would be if I was charged with attempted rape and an assortment of sexual offences on numerous women. Let us just say, there wouldn't be much smiling involved.

He was flanked by two of his sisters.
That is not a euphemism.

Thanks. Still fairly odd though.

He is actually despised by the majority up here!

Do not believe the spin that Krankie puts on anything whatsoever, she is just a grievance monkey. As despised as him now!

His sister's husband is a transvestite. We've seen him about town dressed in women's clothes. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

Nobody has ever asked me whether I ‘despise’ either of them. Can you share the poll that said that?

He's an ex-British politician and past leader of a British political party. What's the problem?

I think that's a bit more odd than a man's sisters supporting him for a court appearance as his wife is not a public person .

Oh! Surely not?

He doesn't look the type, does he?
