Mr Salmond has pled not guilty to charges that he carried out a total 14 sexual assaults on 10 women.

He says he is innocent of all of the charges against him, which are alleged to have happened while he was serving as Scotland's first minister and the leader of the SNP.

The woman previously told the court that she had felt "hunted" by Mr Salmond, who she claimed had "pounced on her" after a dinner at Bute House in June 2014, pulled her clothes off, pushed her onto a bed and then lay naked on top of her despite her protests.

The title is wrong. As the text says, one charge is "not proven", which in Scotland means it stays on file and can be reactivated if new evidence arises.

Wow.

It looked like he was one dead fish.

Wrong! Cannot be reactivated - Not proven means we cannot prove guilt, as good as a not guilty to all intents and purpose cannot be tried again.

The lawyer who acted for Alex Salmond during his sex assault trial is to be investigated after claims he described him as a "sex pest" and a bully.

Gordon Jackson QC was caught on video making comments about the former first minister and two of his accusers.

The Sunday Times said the incident happened on a busy train before the ex-SNP leader's trial concluded.

Mr Jackson said he "deeply regrets the distress and difficu

A new poll on Scottish independence is the first in 22 not to show support in favour of splitting the UK in what may be a response to events surrounding former First Minister Alex Salmond.

The Survation survey for the Sunday Mail shows voter intentions evenly locked at 50/50 once undecided voters had been removed, and showed support for Scottish independence at its lowest for nine months.

It found that 44% would vote No if a referendum was held tomorrow, while 43% said they’d back Yes. When undecided voters were removed it left support for independence at 50%.

The Sunday Mail/Survation also quizzed voters on their thoughts on Alex Salmond’s appearance before Holyrood with 50% stating that Nicola Sturgeon should resign if she was found to have broken the ministerial code of conduct.

Only 33% believed she should remain as First Minister if ministerial code had been broken.

Polling was carried out on Friday with Survation CEO Damian Lyons Lowe telling the Sunday Mail: “This is the first polling since June last year to show that Yes has lost its lead over the No camp.

“Survation also saw only a small two-point lead for Yes in our polling in January, so it is conceivable we’re seeing opinion becoming entirely split over the question of independence.”

The poll also found 44% of voters believe there had been a failure of government over the Alex Salmond Inquiry, with just 32% disagreeing.

Speaking to the paper, Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie said: “Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond are fighting like ferrets in a sack but the divisions run right through the SNP – it’s beyond them and infecting the whole party.

It's good that they are starting to see that Slimey Salmond and the Krankie Karen are the same thing: Egotists hell bound on being the first "El Presidente" of the Banana Republic of Scotland, carnival barking to the catholic pikies to achieve it, and fuck the consequences for true Scots.

From hattie's viewpoint 4,000 miles away...non-Catholics in red, white and blue, sometimes with a dash of orange and a jaunty bowler hat.

Other's opinions do not count, because hattie hath decreed it.

They both come across as truly odious individuals, intent on leading their gullible voters to an end that suits themselves, first and foremost. Surely, at some point, the huddled masses will see through them? Based on the US experience it isn't a certainty.
I feel a little sorry for the people of Scotland who have to live with this divisive rhetoric.

Perhaps if these "Scottish nationalists" waved the flag of their own country, their message might be more believable.

They love Scotland more than a bunch of itinerant pikies do.

Thankfully there were no catholics or catholic priests at my school.

Roman Catholic community

The Roman Catholic community at Eton is like any parish, with regular attendance at Mass and reception of the sacraments keeping the sense of community alive. Each year the Chaplaincy team and divinity department arrange two major lectures, the Lyttelton Lecture and the Bevir Lecture.

In the RIP famous persons thread you posted about the Headmaster of Eton (deceased) being your headmaster.

I may be mistaken, but you can look it up for me and confirm, If I’m right you’ll get six of the best!
