Former leader Alex Salmond claims that there was a conspiracy to get rid of him, while Nicola Sturgeon attempts to defend her record and the party. In this video we explain the Salmond inquiry, the battle between Sturgeon & Salmond and what this means for Scotland.

Labour party need give SNP second Scotland independence referendum Politically Thomas. After Labour party win UK general election politically with Art Bezukravenko.

In SCOTLAND we expect attacks from another country, by the way are you trying to hold onto Scotland??? OIL! GAS! WHISKY REVENUE! CANNON FODDER FOR ENGLAND,s FORCES. STRANGE THIS TREATY OF UNION IS ONLY BY AGREEMENT!? SCOTS LAW and EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND!! PERMISSION TO LEAVE! SINCE WHEN!!??

This story started when a certain English Civil servant Leslie Evans, who worked for the SCOTTISH OFFICE APPOINTED BY WHOM ???? Into The Scottish government. Leslie Evans had history of fixing results, a strange appointment considering she worked with/for Tory David Mundell at the Scottish office! was she ever vetted for this close association with Nicola Sturgeon????? After the failed court case, and another failed set up by the B.B.C! a trial by television ,in which 3 days of defence was purposely omitted. Alex Salmond interigated for 5 hours and Nicola Sturgeon for 8 hours were thrown out, clearly a case of let us get someone!, in the hope of divide and conquer a speciality of Westminster!! It is sham and a pity when you consider the corruption in Westminster where to begin? Russian money in an election, covid chaos and 200.000 deaths, pushing BREXIT during the pandemic, building tunnels under London, Stealing from the population!! Sending BILLIONS of POUNDS to OFFHORE HAVENS A COMPLETE FAILURE! USELESS, but no money returned to the people, now overcharged for ENERGY. Then we have had Party gate hidden in a war. A cabinet incapable of doing anything. Too slow with Sanctions on Russian Oligarchs, clapping for UKRAINE!??? and ENGENY Meditdev his father KGB in the HOUSE OF LORDS!!

Wee Jimmy Krankie versus "Auld Gropey" – all very unsavoury, isn't it?
@dominicberry5577
December 22, 2023 at 12:40 pm
Most of this is fairly accurate. It's also worth noting the James Wolffe, as Lord advocate was Peter Murrell's boyfriend which. It has to complicates separation of powers between the State and the Executive if they're sleeping together. I think Sturgeon would have been forced to resign if the evidence had reached the Inquiry. As it was, Wolffe was able to withhold anything seriously incriminating, by pretending "it might identify the accusers".

Salmond removed the Lord Advocate from bing a seat in cabinet as he felt it allowed them to be pressured by government.
It was NS that reversed this snd out it back to how Labour had it.

The part about the Civil Service warning about single women being near him was shown in the court case to be a lie and there was never any civil service doctrine.
@Mrfairchap
December 22, 2023 at 12:40 pm
One thing, at least, is certain; this bizarre civil war in the Scottish National Party means that there is now no chance whatsoever that the people of Scotland will support the SNP in their quest for a second referendum on independence. Independence for Scotland is now dead in the water for decades.

Scots know this is a well-timed attempt to discredit Sturgeon in the lead up to our May election and to kill the independence referendum that will happen if the SNP get a majority.
Ain’t gonnae happen. Scots have seen all this lame bullshit before. We stand by Nicola and the SNP, independence is inevitable now after Brexit.

You liked calling Margaret Thatcher the iron lady. A quick witted English persons translation changed a Russian journalists words from "frigid bitch" to "iron lady". I think our Nicola should be known as Joan in as Joan of Arc, because she's put up with some amount of verbal abuse from a foul mouthed as well as a corrupt thinking people. She's as good as a martyr anyway so you don't have to go as far as burning her on a stake..
