The war or Battle to save Scottish Justice ?
Miss Taken Identity:
Scotland legal system once the envy of the world- apparently- comes under scrutiny as the Scottish government has been accused of a very serious charge of using the Justice system to prevent an enquiry regarding Alex Salmond and his sex abuse case - of which he was cleared by a court of law, and the First minister (NOT the Scottish Prime minister) of unethical and illegal behavior.
Back ground for further reading- if you can be bothered :)

SNP has been likened to North Korea's justice system. What shame they bring on us!

I totally agree but then I'm biased. 8@??)(
Eleanor:
I am not biased. Well, only by ancestry and I am appalled. Not sure how anyone else feels.
The deposition given by Alex Salmond is the most impressive speech, if you can call it that, that I have ever heard. I watched it and then read all of it and understood every word of it. And I believed him.
I want Independence for Scotland, but I shudder to think of what this debacle will do for that. I just don't understand what went wrong between them.
Eleanor:
Is anyone else watching Nichola Sturgeon giving evidence? Oh dearie me. Not very good is she? Waffling and tripping over words and needlessly repeating herself.
Not that this is crucial in itself, but it is obvious to me that her excuses won't do and that she is trying to talk herself out of trouble.

Like all the rest of them, the power has gone to her head and she is finding it hard to relinquish it.
