Veering away from this issue Jim, my main concern is again the timing of this move purely from a selfish Scotindy viewpoint. I don't wanna see any kinda inner fighting going on in the lead up to an important Scot general election. I'll never forgive the lot of them if they f### about during such an important period when the Scotindy movement is still restricted in campaigning properly and effectively although the one "saving grace" is the fact there is no accountable unionist opposition in Scotland - THEY ALL UTTER THE MOST SHAMELESS UNCONSTITUTIONAL BULLSHIT ON BEHALF OF THEIR UNIONIST POLITICAL MASTERS IN LONDON!!
Positive Scotindy support corroborates that fact. Bottom line is I wanna see unity and I don't believe even Salmond would risk fragmenting the movement as his lifelong indy objective is the same as the FM's initiative. All that he will achieve is prise away a certain percentage of the Scotindy support. I still maintain there is a huge number of people in the movement who view this story as "sleaze v a person of high regard who is definitely not sleazy" as well as Salmond being the past face of the SNP push for Scotindy. We shall see how it unfolds. I just wanna emphasise there were a lotta unionist bastards/media out there who savoured the moment when Salmond was gonna be convicted of said offence and it didn't materialise as I predicted with reasonable certainty on another OP. This latest episode is another scenario that neither party wants to see where these desperate c#### try to gain a foothold, albeit a minor one, in the run up to 6 May 2021. You'll gather the bigger prize for me is eventual self-determination and in an ideal world I'd like to see all this kinda infighting "put on the back burner" until the bigger prize is finally obtained. However, one must also mention the huge challenge of dealing with this current COVID crisis as well - can't ignore that and it is a top priority at the mo for obvious reasons.
