Tony Blair was very similar in this regard… and he was a wrong’un. And clearly heard from inside Bute House Bravo..post of the day! not as complainers in the case of HMA v AEA Salmond? The Court later took great care to confine Prince to a narrow scope in Sherbert v. Verner, when it stated: I’m not advising you, but someone could get legal advice on this. I will try and find an article stating it wasn’t under oath. The Spectator’s application to the High Court for a variation of the anonymity order in HM Advocate vs Alexander Salmond has just finished. The Gore campaign called for manual recounts in several counties. http://www.ihi.org/regions/Europe/Pages/OurWork.aspx, Jason Leitch From 2005 to 2006 he was a Quality Improvement Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, in Boston, sponsored by the Health Foundation. 11 February, 2021 at 3:15 pm I find it utterly repugnant we have a system whereby were forced to walk on eggshells to protect the identity of false accusers, liars & perjurers. It beggars belief though, that the complainers, are in the eyes of the law still seen as victims when they are not, none of their spurious accusations were upheld in a court of law, yet this charade revolves around their anonymity. Craig Murray’s article indicates the Inquiry intend to ignore the court ruling. I couldn’t see his face as it was completely covered,” he added. I wonder who from today’s youth will be Scotland’s “elder states people” in 30 or 40 years time? The individual and their selfish wants is woven into the systems of power. I know, because I emailed Rev Stu months ago, that it is OK to link to what is already in the public domain, eg archived web pages. I’m sure they’d be *all* over this. Committee aren’t going to do it. After-school worker heard shots and found murder victim David Douglas, court hears Witness said he instructed co-workers to lock the door and get the children ‘out of the way’ Then it makes perfect sense to apply such an ‘absurd’ interpretation. (I can dream.). If they do not, further serious questions will be raised about their integrity. I had already worked out two of them and had a suspicion that the actor was whom you named but couln’t find out any reference via Google. I ask because IIRC the whole sexual harrassment saga kicked off with a complaint to Ian McCann of the SNP on November 5th, the one he said “we’ll bank this until we need it”. Craig Murray What’s to stop Salmond now appearing and saying what he likes other than the names of the complainers which of course are not relevant to this evidence and hardly his focus here? And anyone who thinks any SNP leader of a devolved parliament has the power to pull this off and drag in all those people.organisations is a bit soft in the head, imo. Republicofscotland says: After all, the tight group of collaborators in Sturgeon’s kinky cabinet is a small one. She has also been playing evasionary, stalling and steering tactics regarding witnesses and evidence to the current inquiry, as well as silencing committee members lines of questioning under her role as chairperson of the haraasment procedure inquiry. It’s called Trident. “No don’t have that detail, will endeavour to find out BUT my guess will be post the election.”. “I have no idea, but is there a way we can use it to suit our purposes?” Why wouldn’t she just come out and say she got the date wrong though.’. Failing that they have to collapse the inquiry citing corruption by members and obfuscation of crucial evidence via majority votes by members. Whit’s ‘e faird o’? What this says to me is that AS really, really wants to give evidence. The US Government’s only role is to issue entry visas to the successful candidates. Cath @4:57 This was NEVER initiated by one woman. Prentice, QC for the Crown, accepted the amendment so won’t be appeal. As Craig Murray said, the only thing that’s clear is that the SNP never were looking for truth or a fair outcome. Gordon Dangerfield’s blog and the commenters btl there have gone through the procedure methodically and painstakingly and Evans broke her own procedure. If nothing else this is a fascinating example of how far people will go for personal ambition. I’d imagine if that was her attitude and the inquiry ignore it, that won’t dissipate her anger if it ends up back with her at any later point. The American connections are curious. Nicola Sturgeon truly is Tony Blair with tits. Surely the snp could have found legal help in Scotland if not Britain, it begs the question as to why go so faraway to a different country. @Cath chatted to a good SNP bod recently and Dennis is doing fine and still working away behind the scenes. I guess Trump might have had a hand in stirring it up for Salmond but it would not have been at a government level. He might have added to that list national governments, increasingly existentially distanced from the people who chose them. Keep raising these points, there are others out there who haven’t quite joined the dots. But I bet that’s pretty close to what’s been said Ha Ha. The case continues tomorrow at the non-jury court before Mr Justice Michael MacGrath, presiding, sitting with Ms Justice Sinead Ní Chálacháin and Mr Justice Dermot Dempsey. “It pulled off instantly before he had closed the door,” she said. Fabiani has more things in her closet than at first appearance; Mark Hirst dug up information the other day which is published on the Scottish Parliament’s website and Companies House about her lobbying for Government funding on behalf of an NGO of which she has been a named director of since 2019, which is still an undeclared item in her register of interests 2 years later. Liason – doubt it-Night of dinner in Bute House he described as Woman H wearing jeans – Woman H said skirt – Samantha Barber said Woman H wasn’t there! Geoff Aberdein just popped his head round the door? “Let us know as soon as”.. 11 February, 2021 at 3:28 pm. Wightman seems determined to interpret the (predicted) wording of Lady Dorrian’s ruling in a way that will support his original decision. If a newspaper talks about the role of one of someone in a context that corroborates the claim that someone lied, for example, that’s now fine, regardless of whether they were complainers or not. If you happen to be scrolling down the court lists for the day, be aware also, that generally they are listed alphabetically, but if they get a late addition, it can be added in right at the end. Trying to follow this, the impeachment trial and doing the odd tax return on the side does tend to dull the brain cells after a while.”, Can understand that. What happens if the inquiry refuses to publish Salmond’s and Aberdein’s info, regardless of what amendments Lady Dorrian added. The witness said she then saw another man who was dressed in black, hurry around the corner and jump into the passenger seat of the parked car. Lawyers descended on Florida. It would have been fair to say that it had “slipped her mind” if this was brought up a month or two after she took that position, but 2 years after she took the position of a director of an NGO she has been actively lobbying for should not pass any scrutiny. ALISON – Did you read Craig Murray’s article “that this specific “absurd” advice actually comes at source from a large US commercial law firm”. SADIQ KHAN has lost a High Court challenge over Transport for London's lockdown cycle scheme after it was deemed 'seriously flawed' by a judge. It is not about who they are, it is not about when they made a complaint. In a puerile attempt to prevent the name of the person who cannot be named, being mentioned at all, they have unwittingly provided that person’s name. @Mac, 3.21, I see STV is reporting that AS’ legal team says he will resubmit his evidence once Lady Dorrian releases the reasons for her decision, with a view to him appearing next week. If Mr Salmond’s full statement is now published then comparing it to the redacted version will clearly allow the identification of one or more complainants? It didn’t end well for Nicolae Ceau?escu. Absolutely nothing to do with either the Spectator or the latest poll dropping… sheer coincidence…, Jeezo what an end to a career and how memorable – “The Fabriani Farce”. Agree Teetering – but Wightman growing a pair? Re. In other words, you simply couldn’t safely mention this person’s name in ANY context without putting yourself at risk of prosecution. We have to define ourselves what sort of country we want to be. Every man and his dog is accused of being an MI5 agent or a CIA spy or a secret Yoon taking orders from Downing Street. Because of the cover up, we cannot now uncover the cover-up as that would blow the cover-up even more uncovered than it would have done had we not covered it up to start with. If that isn’t ground’s for a charge of an alleged attempt to subvert justice, I’m not sure what is. We will be able to tell more seeing who rewards Sturgeon after leaving office. @ Ross re, ‘To me this has been clear for some time and it should have been recorded better. He even took out full page adverts in the Scottish press against him. But in a way which just happened to mean the Crown Office could suppress all the evidence of a plot to stitch-up Alex Salmond. “When Salmond’s former chief of staff Geoff Aberdein took the stand he added fuel to the political firestorm. And there we go, the American connection once again. cirsium says: She said she saw somebody coming from the shops on Bridgefoot Street and get into the passenger side of the Mercedes. If anticipated events do not overtake I may indeed find time over the next few days to take the suggested route. Most notably, I was getting a sense of tetchiness around ‘Why are you even brining this here? In short – and remember, WINGS OVER SCOTLAND IS NOT A LAWYER – the order as it previously stood appeared to prohibit a person who was a complainer in the case from being identified even in ways totally unrelated to their being a complainer. Value of the contract I hope he changes tack with this news. The ruling is clear. Fishy Wullie says: With the amended version of the order (which we assume will take effect more or less immediately, although we don’t know if it’s also retrospective), you would now be able to say that safely, UNLESS it had also been published somewhere that (say) “one of the complainers was Nicola Sturgeon’s bank manager” – because those two pieces of information together would form a jigsaw identifying Jane Doe as the complainer. If it was SNP business, it shouldn’t have taken place within the Holyrood building. “It reversed into the van as I noticed that the van did a little jump,” said the student. 11 February, 2021 at 5:07 pm https://web.archive.org/web/20200727103535/https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/17358648.alex-salmond-took-lawyer-to-sex-probe-meeting-with-nicola-sturgeon/. If it was SNP business, it shouldn’t have taken place within the Holyrood building.”. NS did in fact come out and admit she ‘just forgot about the meeting’ to parliament, when she stated that Geoff Aberdein was an off the cuff, popped his head round the door thing. Craig Murray hints that Fabiani is taking legal advice from a huge American law firm. It’s not about the timing of the meeting, its about covering up who was there. @sylvia My view they, the ”celeb”, were between spouses, as it were, in 2014, eh they may have had eh a liaison with the complainant. Well, Brexit threw a spanner in that and while they’d probably be happier if the UK stayed together it wouldn’t exactly freak them out if the union dissolved. @holymacmoses ‘Disabled’ woo woo probably. Could this new ruling affect the paper evidence that has been already submitted to the inquiry and that in some instances is so heavily redacted that entire pages have been rendered blank? John Martini at 2:22 pm the new court order) prevents a name to be published under the new court order, but I feel it be about par for the course for the Crown & parly lawyers…, Eileen Carson says: Ross. (think I read it on wings – but google also found this): Lee Canavan (31), of Edenbrook, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Douglas (55), who was shot six times with injuries to his chest, neck, back, torso, elbow and jaw at Shoestown, Bridgefoot Street, Dublin 1, on July 1st, 2016. Surely this means the Crown Office and the Sturgeon cabal have actually identified at least one of the complainers by their ridiculous legal manoeuvres? 11 February, 2021 at 3:12 pm It is now nakedly clear that Fabiani is excluding the evidence of Aberdein and Salmond (presumably on oder) because these make it clear that Sturgeon is lying now, has lied to Parliament and is unfit for office (and I am still a member of the SNP – I hope for better). Gets confusing for us to piece things together Stuart because we’re not lawyers you see. stuart mctavish says: Even though Mr Hamilton will have had the documentary evidence that the meeting had actually been set up at the behest of the FM’s office, 3 weeks earlier, specifically to discuss the issue? It would be interesting to find out more about this American law firm and from where they’re from. I’m suddenly having a smidgeon of sympathy for some of the sad alphabetties who were duped into this criminal venetta. Vraiment. Public opinion and news from our columnists and guest editorials. By Walter Geiger The date rape drug GHB may have been involved in the death of 35-year-old Meagan Nichole McNair who died after being left in the cab of a pickup truck for an extended period by a man, originally described as her boyfriend, who has now been arrested. Can documents already subjected to redactions that have been published and currently available in the public domain now be updated in accordance with this change? I recall reading that the secret services will get around domestic legislation forbidding them from doing XYZ by farming it out to another secret service in another country. 11 February, 2021 at 8:49 pm, Wings Over Scotland is a (mainly) Scottish political media digest and monitor, which also offers its own commentary. the ‘record’ leaker should be sacked & jailed Now everyone knows that the women named in the submissions are indeed complainers, even though the submissions don’t say so. If they were capable they’d already have done so. It’s called Trident. Earlier, the judges spent an hour being talked through some crime scene maps and photographs. Today’s ruling is unequivocally good for one very important reason – forget the whitewash Inquiry and all other constitutional crap. The Crown Office did not dispute the word change. “serious questions will be asked about their integrity”-And what integrity would that be? Thdy needed a trigger to use it. That should be Rev. Wee Chid says: Meghan Markle has won her High Court privacy claim against the Mail on Sunday over the publication of a “personal and private” handwritten letter to her estranged father. The State Department and the US government in general love stability in Europe. Mr Shaw said he looked into Shoestown and saw Mr Douglas lying on the floor. The idea that this name is not known is a legal fiction. Mr Shaw said he knew nothing could be done for the deceased so he rang 999. The motto of Scotland, or to be correct the motto of the King/Queen of Scots, is IN MY DEFENS GOD ME DEFEND, usually abbreviated to IN DEFENS; appearing as the Slughorn (slogan) above the helmet on the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom as used in Scotland, and all other versions used in Scotland prior to the advent of the UK. Cath @4:57 This was NEVER initiated by one woman. 11 February, 2021 at 8:25 pm He makes a good living as an advocate though. I haven’t read Craig’s blog yet (having enough trouble keeping up with Wings) but if he’s referring to an international law firm such as Baker & McKenzie these firms have offices in countries all over the world staffed by local lawyers at partner level and below. Just had a swatch at the Herald and Daily Record’s websites nada evident about today’s ruling. The company involved in two construction accident fatalities in downtown Boston Wednesday and its owner have lengthy histories of workplace violations and legal disputes in recent years, records show. It is, I think, the most shameless cover-up that could possibly be imagined. Andrew Neil has done democracy a huge favour today, regardless of his political stance. Nope. Silver darling, he is taking the piss, he has been punting the same line for weeks now. Could it be that if, when the findings of the Hamilton inquiry are passed to the FM and Deputy FM, before, of course, any publication, the FM will attempt to force Mr Hamilton only to refer to the ‘trivial’ breach that the April 28 meeting was a few days earlier than the earliest date at which the FM first asserted that she knew about the acusations? I can’t vote for her. That like the rest is probably just collateral to those « new opportunities  ». Promoted at IHI https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ecpe/faculty/derek-feeley/ Stupidity? Mr Fraser and his other minority colleagues on the Committee do themselves and their reputations no favours in remaining to die in that particular ditch and provide cover for the other charletans on that body. Could the committee on the basis of this new ruling go back to the government and demand the redactions made on the basis of the old ruling not the new one to be eliminated? He was one of the stars of the yes campaign. It is times like this that I wished I graduated in Law. to the between 2012-2018 = £2,243,921.43 https://archive.is/STI3i, Glasgow Caledonian Uni NY – https://www.gcnyc.com/. Plenty of comments here queering the pitch. It’s then said before Fabiani can intervene. @Sylvia, ah no had not, bloody hell, has he cited the proof? It would not only draw more attention to the case generally, and that’s something a lot of people don’t want, but it would draw attention to those mentioned in the story in particular, and doing that (more so than the story in itself) might assist towards jigsaw identification. Well of course but he’s smart and there are ways round this including just dropping what you want to say into an unrelated answer. Ross: It matters, as I understand it, because of who was at the earlier meeting, the purpose for which it was arranged, and what was discussed at it. “If the 29th March meeting was Scottish Government business, it should have been minuted. And they know it. “Double doon, don’t kneel doon” advice is as effective for dishonest orgs as it is normal folks. This is potentially very significant, because it clarifies an interpretation Lady Dorrian described in court as “absurd”, but nonetheless appeared to be the interpretation being applied by the Crown Office and the Fabiani committee in respect of the order. I do think that if those now stymied lines of questioning were allowed to continue then there would be a lot more truth coming out of this inquiry than there has been to date. The Spectator’s application to the High Court for a variation of the anonymity order in HM Advocate vs Alexander Salmond has just finished. “… it clarifies an interpretation that Lady Dorrian described in court as “absurd”, but which nonetheless appeared to be the interpretation being applied by the Crown Office and the Fabiani committee in respect of the order.”. IOW ‘For want of a nail’ logic. This has been going on from the start. get brought up all the time. Seems clear cut they need to know pieces of evidence of when the FM knew. As a legal point of order – although I AM NOT A LAWYER – that isn’t the case. What i don’t understand is why one of the complainers has not been charged with perjury as she stated she was assalted by AS at a venue she wasn’t even at according to a witness. I am only pointing out which courts, might be utilised, for the upcoming appearance of the accused who threatened JC. who gets the credit. It doesn’t have to be one “conspiracy” where everyone’s in a room together. I think that will be importance for plenty of readers to understand given the context and magnitude of court proceedings today. Term Contract Dates OK, let’s…”. The committee should’ve been an independent one made up of no party affiliations, all that’s happened is that another huge chunk of taxpayers cash, (and God knows the COPFS are burning through our cash like it was firewood) has gone down the drain with virtually nothing to show for it. And if, if, someone was on the investigation team, into the allegations against AS, and then went on to become a complainer – into the same collective allegations – that person bears a huge responsibility for the case collapsing. As she sat in heavy traffic on Bridgefoot Street, Ms Farrelly noticed a dark grey Mercedes backing into a parking spot beside a van. It takes a particular kind of mind set to threaten a female with ‘corrective rape’, it’s not like calling losing your temper and calling them a bitch. The me me me too generation have come of age. If she actively allowed a complainer to be involved in the investigation that’s different but I don’t see that the meetings farce proves that. A fair process – no. Equally good question to ask why Salmond’s side think it’s so important. I assume this is referring to the Boston Consulting Group which is a well-known international management consulting firm which has practices in most major countries. Fraser cannot independently set conditions. Ross suggest you read Craig Murray’s article today. “In 1999, two pipe bands and a small but enthusiastic group of Scottish Americans marched from the British Consulate to the UN—our first Parade”, Susan Stewart partner of Jeane Freeman -“Diplomat” 2001-2005 responsible for setting up and establishing the first Scottish office in the UK Embassy in Washington DS https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-stewart-85753b4/?originalSubdomain=uk, IHI Boston – In 2007, the Scottish Government and Quality Improvement Scotland selected IHI as its partner to co-design and implement the Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP). No. Imagine the Police arrested you on trumped up charges – you complain and they allow the same Police to investigate the complaint against them! At last I now know who was involved, how, and why, it was planned very carefully prior to being put into action. 11 February, 2021 at 5:08 pm Yes i am sure that is what they will argue but it is absurd. But, on the face of it, it does not appear to make a material change”, @Skip_NC says: Regardless of the voting on the Committee the minority, by continuing to be associated with its untenable position, make themselves complicit in the Committee’s contempt actions. Exactly. 11 February, 2021 at 4:39 pm American influence or “American university postmodernistic bollocks” = #MeToo, GRA, cancel culture etc. It’s a homegrown conspiracy, no outside help required. What will be left when the whole house of cards comes tumbling down? Fair doos hadn’t really thought about it that way. Trying to follow this, the impeachment trial and doing the odd tax return on the side does tend to dull the brain cells after a while. But ultimately ‘their’ party and even their nation’s ambition may be destroyed. Wonder if Lady Dorian underlining that the nine women cannot be identified as complainers in the trial is because we now know that the civil service made the complaint(s) on their behalf. This happened after Trump came to power. Indeed, in any due process procedure, if anyone involved deliberately tampers with evidence in such a way as to detract from achieving the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth – as is clearly happening here – their feet would not touch the ground in terms of acting in a way which is considered contemptuous of the process and the body charged with responsibility for that process. I had no idea that people or organisations were choosing to interpret the anonymity order in such a bizarre fashion. I’ve posted it around three or four times since. it is: To consider and report on the actions of the First Minister, Scottish Government officials and special advisers in dealing with complaints about Alex Salmond, former First Minister, considered under the Scottish Government’s “Handling of harassment complaints involving current or former ministers” procedure and actions in relation to the Scottish Ministerial Code.At its meeting on 22 June 2020, the Committee agreed its approach to the inquiry and a written statement on handling of information and evidence. in that it provides sufficient ‘jigsaw’ info to do a Google search. I think the first time I posted the Shropshire Star one was 5th August last year, where I was commenting on Kirsty Wark giving out jigsaw information in her documentary. 11 February, 2021 at 2:26 pm The Special Criminal Court heard evidence on Tuesday from a number of people who were in the vicinity of Bridgefoot Street on the afternoon of the fatal shooting. Being the recipient of a scholarship and studying at Harvard doesn’t make DH a CIA spy. I’ll see yer quote and raise you a. I’ve never previously seen those articles on this site. Still none the wiser why it really matters if Sturgeon knew 3 days before she originally submitted. William O. Douglas, in full William Orville Douglas, (born October 16, 1898, Maine, Minnesota, U.S.—died January 19, 1980, Washington, D.C.), public official, legal educator, and associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, best known for his consistent and outspoken defense of civil liberties.His 36 1 / 2 years of service on the Supreme Court constituted the longest tenure in U.S. … “Fabiani is taking legal advice from a huge American law firm”. The wee bugger. But the Spectator magazine published what the committee voted against publishing in full, yet today in court they (Spectator magazine reps/legal team) were found not to have broken the law. Clearly I cannot but when it comes out FUCK. A question to the Harassment Inquiry. ISP I want to vote for you, but front and foremost it has to be Plebiscite Indy for Scotland as your manifesto… and you are running out of time. I have appreciated Andy W’s stance and action on wildlife issues, I own his book, I supported his legal fund appeal. 321 U.S. at 321 U. S. 169-170. Will this help Craig Murray? Ms H? She will just follow up next week confirming the order and setting out her reasoning. He claimed his decision was taken so An utter gent NOTHING was a problem, and the scale of his multiple personal grief, FUCK. FOI are redacted all the time when just about anybodies name or personal details are mentioned. There is only one redaction and it could simply be left as is. He makes clear that there was another meeting 3 weeks earlier and hints at months earlier involvement by FM. God how he must regret it now. Once it comes out that Ms Sturgeon had the earlier meeting, it will emerge that the earlier meeting had been organised some 3 weeks before by Ms Sturgeon and it’s likely that she won’t be able to lie about when that ‘call’ was made and why it was made and it will probably reveal a whole pattern of inevitability of events should her purpose not be achieved at the first or second hurdle . Isn’t it just possible that this was initiated by an insecure, jealous woman and then the monster grew arms, legs and everything else before rampaging out of control. Nothing in the order actually says that…take it up with the committee”. And given Lady Dorian’s really, really slow ability to produce a verdict on his case, anyone want to bet that she will not publish her written conclusions for todays case, until well past lousin time next Tuesday? Incompetence on this level (and I’m being very generous with the term) is actually better described as Negligent. Mac @3.21 You are very warm – almost boiling in fact. It would therefore seem reasonable to anticipate, as others have already articulated, that sooner rather than later that minority will withdraw their participation from the Committee even if only to protect what remains of their reputations (if any) from the contempt being displayed by the majority on that Committee which is dragging them down with it. Anyone with even a tiny amount of civil and legal training, knows that you cannot do that – it compromises the integrity of each and every other complainers evidence. Price: 51150, .8 —-. Therefore as the Socttish Government inquiry is about failed government policy, i.e. not directly related to the criminal trial, that the committee and witnesses in the Scottish Government trial are now free to state and publish information in so long as those statements and that evidence does not mention the criminal trial. The name is now out there and I can just see what the defence will be. #Justsayin. If you do not already know the name – you are living on another planet. #Justsayin. ‘ But it doesn’t say anything about her being a complainer!’ Returns to UK – https://www.expressandstar.com/news/uk-news/2020/09/01/sturgeon-announces-plan-for-national-care-servihttps://www.elft.nhs.uk/News/ELFT-Scoop-Quality-Improvement-Leader-as-Advisor-ce/, The Scottish Government has a strategic partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) based in the USA.Paid America has a *great big* interest in Scottish politics. In its Feb. 8 reply to Waterbury’s denial of all allegations, the federal government claims, “the undisputed evidence shows that the defendants (Douglas and Carol Waterbury) have continuously, knowingly, and willfully violated the terms of the consent decree entered by this court, and that these violations have persisted despite repeated demands for compliance.
