Nahhhh! Way back when this Salmond news broke in the Scot parliament, Nicola immediately called for a parliamentary enquiry that would scrutinise the roles of various people, including her, who were worthy of being scrutinised up to the point when Ecky was clearly gonna be prosecuted in the High Court. It also looks like Ecky is "keeping his powder dry" re the political ramifications, post trial and COVID-19 crisis. There is more unrevealed damning evidence to follow from him! One huge positive factor from a Scot indy perspective is the fact that Ecky was found NOT GUILTY and that is the "bottom line" in a court case in which the unionist press and usual shit heids already had Ecky guilty before the trial even began and were "lining up" to try and "put the boot" into the Scot indy movement, the SNP and a Scot indy pioneer called Alex Salmond, one of the legendary SNP rebels who campaigned relentlessly for a Scot Parliament and eventual Scottish independence. On a separate note, I'd love to know who took that video of Gordon Jackson on the train!!!?? That does not gel with me at all and how convenient from a unionist media point of view that someone should (covertly) be sitting in front of Jackson and recording his comments!! What a f###### world we live in when this kinda thing is exposed for what it is. And we in this country have the cheek to slag off Russia re stuff like this kinda shit!!! Huhhhhh!!!

He was found 'not proven' on the most serious charge, which is not the same as not guilty as you know. His defence lawyer also said he should have been a 'better man'. He has behaved appallingly, and I speak as someone who admired Salmond greatly.

In my view sturgeon never thought Salmond would take the SG to court, which then put her in a bit of a spot as she could be called to give evidence. Now, I've read the (backdated) procedures which are short, and not for one second do I believe a mistake could be made to allocate the officer who had been in contact with the complainant as the action officer. The procedures are very clear on that.

It's all very convenient. Sturgeon will likely deal with eck out of court, and the civil servants will carry the can. It all leaves a very bad taste.
