Sturgeon Inquiry Your Thoughts

[fender62]

watched a bit of it and she seems to be loosing it at times, what are aber's thoughts on her statements so far.

[Bobbisox1]

She could talk 'under watter' :0)

[fender62]

seems defensive, err to the best of my knowledge mmm ok then

[MONEILL45]

A good honest politician being cruxified by a jealous and vindictive man.

[New Judge]

//A good honest politician...//

With one or two honourable exceptions (into which category Ms Sturgeon does not fit), a contradiction in terms.

[gulliver1]

There is no such person as a good honest politician , just look at the shower of waste we have in the uk present government Boris has not got an honest bone in his body.

[Bobbisox1]

///// we have in the uk present /////
Is that not a contradiction in terms Gulliver?
The use of the word 'we' ?

[DTCwordfan]

I love oxymorons as in 'good, honest politician'.

Your comment would be better written as 'A dedicated politician being crucified by a jealous and vindictive woman' - a woman that one shouldn't cross swords with.

"There is no such person as a good honest politician"

Manny Shinwell
Tony Benn
Dennis Skinner

Et al.

[Sunk]

Not at all convincing.
The Inquiry members are still very cheesed off that they have been denied several key documents.
NS played a good defensive game, but Salmond scored a double hatrick last week.

[Peter Pedant]

also a bit here

Gawd Are The News Channels Going To Inflict Scottageddon On Us All Day?

which not surprisingly you missed

Beeb coverage very pro Sturgeon - she answered every question clearly and forthrightly. yeah right.

I cited the docs released last night in the other thread. Mind boggling. The barristers had lied to the court and other side and were less than pleased.

[Peter Pedant]

// The Inquiry members are still very cheesed off that they have been denied several key documents.//

if you read the docs that HAVE been disclosed yesterday - you can see why. The politicians who are failed lawyers are much given to saying they dont understand legal documents. And they are in charge except when they are not in charge which is most of the time.

The big points were : the investigating officer who must not have contact with the complainants until the whistle goes .... had.
oops

Nicola S has a short memory

The investigating officer who was told NOT to interview the complainants/victims - did. ( the police wanted to do the initial disclosure interview with trained personnel which is certainly consistent with the different child protection cases. )

the govt 'won' on six out of the 7 points - the docs in fact show the whole thing is such a disaster than the govt concede on one and do not persist with the losing case. - a lot of la-dee-la and hand wringing about two victims have had their cases screwed - three years ago and nothing was done.

But the Beeb were quite upbeat about it

Alex salmond has put the right and proper case for Scottish independence back ten years with his selfish petty vendetta against decent people for his personal ends a vicious vindictive man.

[Bobbisox1]

^^^ don't you think being wrongly accused of committing sexual crimes would make him want retribution for this?

[Peter Pedant]

yes no I thought Sturgeon rather convincingly showed no one north of the border was able to run a small country ...

[ToraToraTora]

MONEILL45: "Alex salmond has put the right and proper case for Scottish independence back ten years with his selfish petty vendetta against decent people for his personal ends a vicious vindictive man. " - so you think this will change a lot of minds away from wanting to leave the UK then?

[murraymints]

been fixed to telly watching this..she is on the run..very uncomfortable, being tied in knots..the committee members are simply not letting her get away with her loose and vague responses...particularly jackie Baillie and Margaret Mitchell... the end is nigh

[ToraToraTora]

PP: "yes no I thought Sturgeon rather convincingly showed no one north of the border was able to run a small country ... " - good job they are not planning to then, after "independence" the wee un intends to prostrate herself at the feet of the EUSSR junta.

[Jackdaw33]

I haven't been following it but by all accounts she does appear to be on a very sticky wicket.

[Peter Pedant]

// after "independence" the wee un intends to prostrate herself at the feet of the EUSSR junta.// - - - what?

[Peter Pedant]

// .particularly jackie Baillie and Margaret Mitchell... the end is nigh//

both were really very good - - I munched popcorn and knitted five or six string dishcloths.... ( tricoteuses - knitters beneath the guillotine in case anyone misses the reference )
