Move along! Nothing to see here!

Mar 23, 2021 ~ Peter A Bell

Nicola Sturgeon has been exonerated. She has been absolved of any wrongdoing. She has been exculpated. She has been vindicated. She has been cleared of having breached the Ministerial Code. She has been acquitted. Allegations that Nicola Sturgeon behaved improperly have been declared to be unfounded.

Nicola Sturgeon is innocent.

So is Alex Salmond.

The endless trial

Hahaha, yip, and we all know how innocent Nicola thinks Alex is because she stills says he is guilty, quite often, on national TV even. I expect it’s one rule for him and another for her. The difference being of course that all the evidence in his case was heard by 12 totally independent people who decided he was not guilty. In Nicola’s case, oh yeah, not so independent people and lots of redactions and withheld information, all totally equal.

      It’s an easy mistake to make. We are constantly bombarded with the idea of 12-person juries.

      I wasn’t aware of that. Either I never read it anywhere or I did and totally forgot.

“Just because Alex Salmond was found innocent doesn’t mean he didn’t do it”
Bet you now regret saying that Nocola because we will remember your words.

    I hadn’t thought of that but you’re probably right.

  I had nothing more to say (that wouldn’t have got me into trouble).

I’m angry at the crowing of Sturgeon and her apparatchiks. There’s a scurrilous article in the Guardian this evening. I hope Alex Salmond sues that paper!
