I don't want to be funny but would any woman trust him! Sorry if you support him but he and his cronies in the law have been shown up for what they are and I'm not meaning anything about the wrongs and rights of what NS was accused of - have met many men like him - already spoke about this somewhere - could have been FB - and no it's not all right to behave to women the way they do! I grew up with men thinking it was ok to pat you/pinch you on the bum etc - one got slapped in middle of a pub but was always a bit scared to protest. I'm sure a lot of gransnetters experienced the same. I seriously can't believe his cheek!!! I'm in the garage as car getting fixed and my Mum (85) has just phoned me to tell me! She is incensed though her main reason was to ask what channel the Scotland/France match was on.

Must have been kept under wraps no-one saw this coming!

Scotland's former first minister has made a sensational return to frontline politics, announcing he is to lead a new pro-Scottish independence party called the Alba Party.

In a press conference at 2pm on Friday, he was unveiled as the new party's frontman for the Holyrood elections ahead of the May 6 vote.

Setting out its aims, the Alba Party said: "National independence for Scotland as an immediate necessity, and overwhelming priority, achieved by democratic means through a vote of people resident in Scotland.

"The promotion of all Scottish interests, and the building of an economically successful, environmentally responsible and socially-just independent country, through the pursuit of a social democratic programme.

"The acceptance by the Scottish people of a written constitution for the newly independent country; defending the rights, liberties and equality of all citizens before the law."
