Salmond v Sturgeon Round 3 — Comment along with Sturgeon

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Previous thread here.

@GirlLovesWorld @Amortentia my point is the same. The bigger cause, however you define it, shouldn't be dependent on one person or party. But a lot of people are mixing them up.

I'm way behind. Been trying to watch and work at the same time

The answer reflects the question.
What is she going on about?

@Bytheloch

Margaret Mitchell speaks for so many of us.

Fabiani not so much.

She's supposed to be asking questions under the remit of the committee. She's now having a rant about the structure of institutions and the balance of power. She's gone off topic.

@sessell I think that's been their failing from the days of AS onwards.

What he should have done was advance the indy cause, but step away from it in terms of the party. His point should have been 'we support indy, even if we don't win your support to govern it after indy is won'.

But I don't think his ego would allow it.

I've moved from watching it on my laptop to now watching it from my sofa, I can't look away!!

😂😂😂

I think I hit this point about 2/3 hours ago 😂

I think the retrospective issue is dodgy if historic complaints are dealt with by a previous employer rather than the police. It would be like someone I worked for years ago writing to me to face an internal disciplinary for allegedly saying someone had a nice bum in 1989, rather than reporting it to the police. That’s the take I had on the questioning of it.

It was very much on topic.

Jeeeeeepers...

The Convenor and Depute got rather heated 🤣

This is from the tweet 😂

I've just been chucked out of the parliament tv - I was about 15 mins behind.

Is it finished?

Thank goodness that’s over.

I think the point re prison for the rest of his life is that he's a tubby male in his 60s and therefore he may not have survived prison.

I'm finding it hilarious that there appears to be a lawyer on this thread who thinks the FM or SG have somehow found a way to put in place a LAW without going through any of the normal processes.

I mean, I only took law to fill up my timetable in 2nd year so no expert but.. really?!

The Convenor is good - hard job she has there but the kind of person Scotland needs more of

I paused it on Sky News and now they're on a break! How long did they break for? I really want to watch the end before leaving the office...

Yes but it's on youtube - search "committee on the scottish government handling of harrassment complaints - 3 march 2021"

same happened to me

@Bytheloch

It was very much on topic.

I disagree. She was veering in to an area beyond the committee. You could have a fascinating discussion about the structures of Scottish institutions but that was not the place or the fault of the current Scottish gov.

So I missed the last bit but my takeaway is the tactic of poor recall & quite repetitive & often monotonous rambling answers passes for evidence.

I don't think she's accounted for much that went wrong, denies their decisions were wrong, thinks their assessment at every stage was correct & has no opinion of whether the competence of those she is ultimately responsible for is worthy of disciplinary action/resignation etc.

I can imagine sturgeon loyalists think she did well. I disagree.

@Coquohvan

Not - oh last week, sexual offences were ok , now we're making them wrong. That's what you're saying from your comparison with speed limits. 🙈

Please retract this. I have never in my life said sexual offences were ok. We’re is your proof of this? It was an explaining someone gave on here to explain how a retrospective law would work in any situation.

Have you found your link to corroborate your earlier statement, that the Brazilian variant was found in uk schools yet?

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know I had an order from a stranger on the Internet that I must fulfill.(!)

No I don't have a 'link' as it came directly from a teacher working in the school.

I agree @TheShadowyFeminist. I've heard a lot of filler sentences, a lot of "I don't exactly remember but" and similar. It felt to me like she was often unwilling to commit to her answers.

Corroborate

Starry isn't in court for goodness' sake!

Yes overall weak really but I don’t think they landed many punches.

What it will do is damage her. It already has done.
