I see the Yoons after getting themselves in a fankle over accusing Sturgeon of simultaneously plotting against & on behalf of Salmond have at last plumped for one view.
The only "traitors" are the useful idiots that provide succour to Putin. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, members of ERG, Boris Johnson, Liam Fox and friend, Jeremy Corbyn,... to The Fletcher Memorial Home For Incurable Wasters of other peoples' futures".
The National Union of Students has confirmed it has cut 54 jobs in response to its "financial issues". The union also said it employs "roughly half the number of staff it did this time last year", although it didn't reveal the exact size of its workforce. The NUS said it offered voluntary redundancy to reduce staffing costs "in a way that provided a positive exit" for those involved
Give it 10 years and those responsible will more than likely be MPs.
Is "not proven" still an available verdict in Scotland?
Yes. Indeed I have heard the argument that we should get rid of not guilty instead and keep it. It focuses the question on the real issue: have the Crown proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt?
I will be interested to see how the police / CPS handle the Salmond case.
Our former Lib Dem candidate here was hung out to dry by the Police / CPS for two and a half years before they stood up in court on Day 1 of the trial and "offered no evidence".
The clinching evidence was that the vehicle in which the crimes were alleged to have taken placed had not been in his ownership until 1-2 years after the alleged date of the offences. I fail to see why they could not have discovered this 2 years earlier.

I guess if it all goes belly up for Nicola she can fall back on her pension and the possibility of being a stunt double for Janette Krankie
It is a view and it is a correct one. These idiots are trying to close down debate in the same way as Momentum do, and a not too well disguised attempt to incite others to spread vile abuse. If you think that is acceptable then shame on you

"Close down debate" - by having members of a political party express their views ?

Quite the opposite.
If you don't realise what they are attempting to incite then you are even more naive and gullible than most Brexit supporters.

Indeed. I missed out other hypocrites such as James Dyson for one, and Nigel "I'm keeping my MEP pension" Farage.
I’d just like to thank Mr Salmond for providing the first domestic news, in the last 400 years, which might actually drown out Brexit. Just for a bit. Thanks, Eck.
He opposed it because it “entrenched free market capitalism” but it has “evolved” and there were “now substantial progressive European forces”.
What EU is he talking about? The one where Macron is trying to liberalise France, where Salvini is running Italy, where Kurtz is in charge of Austria and Orban in Hungary and Poland’s government is hardly progressive and the Danes are getting very tough with their immigrants etc? The one where Greece has had to endure austerity the likes of which we have no idea about it to preserve the euro or where Ireland had to do the same to save bondholders in German banks? The EU where far right, nationalist and fascist parties are gaining votes and influence on government in a way unimaginable 20 years ago?
Either he hasn’t a clue or he told you what you wanted to hear. Or he’s fooling himself.
Someone unkinder than me might call you naive about the clever way your party’s leader uses words to make his audience believe what they would like to be true.
I think that is a little unfair. I am not a Corbyn fan and I don't think his performance on Brexit, or anything much else since the general election, has been up to much, but I do not think he is playing a complicated game of deception about his true views on Brexit. Because Brexit is an issue of such talismanic importance to most people in politics, and especially most Tories, it is impossible for them to conceive of a politician who does not see it in that way. But before the referendum EU membership was a complete non issue in Labour circles, it was hardly ever discussed at meetings, EU related pressure groups, both for and against, had tiny followings and were well outside the main political discourse.
Many Tories have spent their whole career campaigning for Brexit, it is the very essence of their political being, and, as we have seen, they are prepared to sacrifice everything, including the country, to get the UK out of the EU. They cannot imagine any politician being indifferent to the subject and they see Corbyns past opposition as similar to their own, he is, they think, a committed Brexiteer who will stop at nothing to ensure the UK leaves. But this is a false picture, many, many Labour figures have changed their views inmates eUrope over the years, I give you Neil Kinnock, David Blunkett and Robin Cook as examples but there are many more. Corbyn is following a well trodden path and I think Nick Ps description of his position is an accurate one.
Also, the conversation was before the referendum, a couple of years ago, when most of the developments cited by Cyclefree hadn't occurred. But on balance I think it's still true.

Mr P, this may help in your assessment of Jeremy Corbyn. It doesn't cover all techniques to spot liars, but does look at some of the main ones. It also raises questions about others that are in the news :
You mean everything is not going splendidly in the marxist playground of Venezuela?
Corbyn standing alongside Russia, China, Turkey, Mexico and Bolivia there in backing Maduro and opposing attempts to topple him, while the USA, the UK, Canada, 6 South American nations and for the most part the EU back the Opposition.
Shows what a sea change a Corbyn government would produce in UK foreign policy
Doing it three times evokes the three denials of Jesus? Beats me.
It's a pretty farcical situation we've got. Clearly the government does not want to see the vote pass, nor should it because it is preposterous, but it will have to allow it given these threats, in which case they look no less weak.
Stefan Molyneux has just hit 900k subscribers on YouTube. I think he could become very big indeed in the next few years. It's not exactly easy to build up a large following by posting videos on philosophy.

The eternal hegemony and supremacy of the Nats, forever ascendant over Scotland, had to encounter the force of gravity at some point. I think might be it.
Can I just take back everything I previously said about William Glenn posting tweets? That one pays for 100 of your previous ones.
Much as I loath the fat little oaf, innocent until proven guilty. We will have to wait to see if he will be shouting "you'll never take our freedom" as they lead him to the cells!
Indeed. As someone once falsely accused of rape, I know how important it is to remember that a charge means nothing. A jury must convict.
That said, it is impossible to ignore the optics. We already know there is a scandal about a potential cover up, re Salmond. Now this? Sturgeon will be lucky to survive, I think. She suddenly looks very imperiled. The Nats should want a complete clear out, and a new, untainted generation of leaders.
There is a strong case to be answered for Sturgeon. That said, there are all sorts of cases to be answered from a lot of politicians at the moment, and few have the decency to do the decent thing. The Nats will probably blame the English and the Tories and say it is all a conspiracy. As most of them are not that bright she will be safe.
Her problem is that she is so closely linked to Salmond. She was his protege. The anointed successor. I fail to see how she can escape this without damage, likewise her party. It was always a faintly unhealthy situation, one party in total control of every aspect of a small nation’s life, from police to education to rape.
LOL, given the comic singers in Westminster, that is a hoot. You do realise there are six parties in the parliament just like Wastemonster.

To be honest it is a bit bloody stupid. Targeting MPs who are voting for Brexit because they are not pure enough is exactly why we are in this mess right now.

I see the rightwing fruitcakes on here are wetting their pants over the Salmond case.
As I said earlier Malc, no comment is the best response
No comment is wise. However, it is also fair to note this is a huge deal. I can’t recall holder of high office has not been accused of something like this. How will they find a jury?

Innocent until proven guilty. Amusing to hear someone who is a nationalist calling others "rightwing fruitcakes". Nationalism is, other than its close cousin fascism, the nuttiest and nastiest of fruitcake ideology there is..... cue demented insults and ranting and lots of words none of us have ever heard of lol
Seeing as I believe that the leavers and pro-EU people fundamentally do not understand each others views, I think this article sums up how leavers are feeling about the shenanigans that our political class are playing. They need to be careful what they do or the UK yellow vests will be on the streets.
