She is really going "all in" on this now. Tomorrow should be interesting.....

She really is laying herself open to a libel/slander case given the outcome of the criminal trial...

Lim: seriously were you watching a repeat from some earlier FMQs?
She refused to answer anything, falling back on the committee and essentially punched back hard on any questions stating they were motivated either by party political motivation or by the true criminal of the piece, Salmond.

Absolutely shameful display.

It’s not mutually exclusive. Didn’t see any punches land.

The rose tinted spectacles are strong in this one.

Look a squirrel.

That has nothing to do with whether Sturgeon lied.

Do keep up... we know it is hard for you - and we try to make allowances....

[Lim]

Do keep up. Nobody cares if she lied about the exact manner she dealt with salmond.

12.30.

Assuming there isn't a mysterious internet outage where he lives.

There are plenty of people who have no time at all for Alex Salmond but care very much about whether the first minister used the police to discredit a political opponent and the crown office to cover it up. If she lied that's a resignation issue in itself, but even those who don't care whether she lied would be a bit curious as to why she lied.

I can see why

As TRUE scots love their government and would NEVER question the leader

And the TRUE scots fully accept that people should be jailed for questioning dear leader

As nothing is more important than dear leader

freedom?

Surely that would be malfeasance in a public office which certainly in the rest of the U.K. is a criminal offence that can attract serious jail time !

It’s somewhat beyond misremembering

I see Deadslow's cup of wit & charm runneth over as usual.




Anyway, this raised a chuckle.

Full wording of Jim Sillar's complaint worth reading.

https://yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com/2021/02/...

Breach of ministerial code by using public health briefing for spouting forth on Salmond where previously she declined to take questions on the subject.

Secondly casting doubt on the verdict of a jury.

I was wish it was George Galloway going into battle. Anyway chance he could get in in the action would be great
