Salmond v Sturgeon Round 2.

[Cismyfatarse]

As the conversation is interesting and the thread is nearly full. Does it matter if Sturgeon is guilty - do you know or care? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/scotsnet/4153007-Does-it-matter-if-Sturgeon-is-guilty-do-you-know-or-care

Her grandstanding on what women have to deal with while her government have long grassed including 'misogyny' in the HCB & has excluded sex as a PC in the Bill? Utterly disingenuous.

She doesn't give a damn how hypocritical or disingenuous she is cos she thinks her base will lap it up & she can brazen it out without resigning.

Agree ShadowyFeminist. I often see politicians lauded and accorded additional respect because "they're a lawyer dontcha know." The very real danger is that people defer to them unduly and they don't treat practising professionals with respect. This looks like a classic example of both.

Sturgeon is coming across as somewhat confused about the difference between being a Law Maker and being The Law.

Also slight stench of jilted / why didn't he fancy me? cos the alternative is that he was using her in order to get closer to others and she was too dumb to see and they were too cowed to point it out. It all stinks and stinks some more. If we are to believe her story that it isn't a complete confection out of nothing more than an unwisely overfamiliar working environment.

This commentary is helping as I'm in training sessions for work.

Sounds like it's deflection!

When are we getting to Fraser & Bailey?

She needs to be properly challenged. This is way too easy for her to waffle her way out of these Qs.

I think those of us who think NS’s stock in trade is cheap headmistress stuff would not be surprised. First it’s the English. Then it’s people who oppose her views, then Scots and finally Salmond. The irony that she claims to unite Scotland while fighting and blaming is a very good sign of the public life to come in Scotland. Who is going to fix any of that?

No one in Parliament - they benefit. Gives them power.

People who voted for the SNP since 2014 should wonder why they thought a nationalist party wouldn’t work to divide. That’s what has happened and it was obviously going to come.

'if I could find legitimate ways I would' what does she mean by that?

As a general rule, non-retroactivity is the basis upon which all laws should be formulated.

Imagine getting a call from a former employer who said you were being investigated about the events of 10 years ago with reference to a policy that was created yesterday.

It's complete nonsense. If the conduct is criminal - call the police. If a civil wrong has occurred - leave it to those courts.

Sturgeon is bonkers

Stats, thanks

Alec - totally agree. How do they let her get away with it?

Sturgeon is bonkers

That is "The Tea".

Is this bawbag still talking? Can we have some proper questions please rather than burning up her limited time

Trying to control control control the whole way along. 'That's not what we discussed we'd do' is how it comes across
I hope she gets wound up tighter and tighter so when she's tired and emotional she snaps

stats saw yesterday session changed to "as long as it takes". The more she says the worse it gets. Can't believe she isn't sticking rigidly to the actual pertinent subject for damage limitation. Even Humza mostly managed that last night (except for a wee lapse tacitly admitting knowledge of legal correspondence as yet undisclosed).

Wow baillie. Just

Wait why do they have no questions?

@IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021

Wait why do they have no questions?

Cos they want to get to the good stuff. They're done with this section!

Yes

Ah right ok! Thank you near on fell off the couch there!

Can't bear to watch several hours of this, even if they are making her squirm.

Will watch the highlights (lowlights?) later.

Smearing salmond again.

Convener let question go ahead and told him off after

Just recording it now and will look at highlights later. Can't listen to this all day.

Again with the behaviour of Salmond - repeating these cleared 'offences' to remind us all. Fabiani only now steps in.

The toddler has been droned to sleep by this

That’s a plus
