Really, BBC? Really? Alex Salmond was on Question Time and no one wanted to ask about juryless rape trials?
Hey, ho. It is time for one of Alba's two MPs to name the conspirators against Salmond under parliamentary privilege.
Political prisoner, activist, journalist, hymn-writer, emerging thinktanker, aspiring novelist, "tribal elder", 2019 parliamentary candidate for North West Durham, Shadow Leader of the Opposition, "Speedboat", "The Cockroach", eagerly awaiting the second (or possibly third) attempt to murder me.
According to Iain Macwhirter, "Last month it emerged that the Crown Office has launched a perjury inquiry into what was said at the trial after representations from Salmond’s legal team. His accusers were senior figures in both the Scottish National party and her government. Nicola Sturgeon cannot therefore claim to be a disiniterested observer in the move to hold trials of judge-only trials for sexual offences. Indeed, you could argue that she should recuse herself: she has a direct and very personal interest."

How is that not jigsaw identification? Oh, of course, there is a different law for "proper" journalists.
