Alex Salmond arrested.

It is plain that trial by Unionist Media has already condemned AS as the worst kind of serial sex offender.

Jane10 states that "There are several instances of his behaviour towards women being being unacceptable."

Well no, in reality "there are several alleged instances"

I will be the first to condemn him if any of these allegations are ultimately proved to be true. Not least because if true, he will have personally deceived me and my close female friends (who cannot believe he is capable of this type of behaviour) and caused damage to our Party and the Independence Cause.

Surely Paddyanne doesn’t think Scotland’s courts are corrupt

Paddyann I wont be back on this thread .
Good.

Kalu and why do some old ladies think vulgarity, poorly disguised as plain speaking, is allowable due simply to their advanced years I wonder?

I too have met Alex on many occasions paddyann and have appeared on the same stage as him. I’m not prejudging anything or anyone and I’m certainly not buying into a conspiracy. Unionist bashing theory.

I will await the outcome of due process

Its all very convenient isn't it? Gets him out of the way in case of a second Independence referendum.I have met Alex and a less sleazy man would be hard to come across...and everyone I have asked has said the same.Yes he'll cuddle folk...and that included young and old but there has never, in the long career he has had, been any hint of impropriety .
Of course the Unionists amongst us are rubbing their hands in glee.....can we ask them to find out what happened to the lists of proven sex pests of the tory persuasion LOST by Mrs M....or is she hanging onto to THOSE as a way of manipulating her minions? I wont be back on this thread .

What is it with some men when given a little power think any woman is fair game, unable to resist their charms?
Does their brain suddenly move down to their underpants making them think they are invincible? Yuck!

The police have been investigating him. This was before his case against the Scottish Govt procedure that he took them to court for.
There are several instances of his behaviour towards women being being unacceptable. I'm glad that the women who initially were brave enough to complain about him have been listened to. In another instance the management at Edinburgh airport will not let female staff accompany him in VIP corridors. That says something. #himtoo?!

Sure more information will emerge as day goes on. It looks as if he’s been kept in custody to appear in court later today. Serious stuff

He was accuserd of sexual harassment, the Scottish government investigated him in a way that was illegal. He took them to court and won. This arrest is to do with the actual complaint made against him. It was another of the "Me too" movement of mob rule by husteria, where guilt is presumed through the media and the police, trying to be PC, take action before they investigate.

My feeds are telling me that he has been charged with 'Contempt of Court'

Good!

Just heard it on the news , seems a blackout on the charge/charges ?

Nobody knows what he's been arrested for.
