Nicola Sturgeon deems PM's visit to Scotland - non-essential

If you want to know why Sturgeon is making such a fuss at the moment, take a look at this:
Bare in mind that this is his sworn court evidence, so if he is shown to be lying he will have committed perjury. Salmond is due in front of the Holyrood inquiry team soon (can't remember the exact date) so expect maximum deflection very soon. If the evidence from Craig Murray is true, it shows that there is huge corruption at the heart of the SNP, civil service and crown prosecution team.
As for MacAskill, Sturgeon is throwing him under the bus. He is a Salmond loyalist and is openly criticising Sturgeon, so she has ordered more details of what he has been up to (as reported today). I doubt that she will cut him the same slack as she did with Covid Margaret (Ferrier).

For those who do not wish to take the time to read the link (although I feel you should, it's explosive stuff), it indicates that Salmond was framed in a plot involving several high profile SNP members, the civil service and the CPS. They tried to frame someone on sex charges, and had he been convicted there is every likelihood that he would have spent the rest of his days in prison.

I had a look on social media and a number of followers of that Cabal are dismissing these claims by Craig Murray and Alex Salnond as a Unionist attempt to smear the SNP leadership!
Murray and Salmond, Unionist?
You couldn't make it up.
 
It's very simple - if you want to vote in another Scottish independence referendum - then live in Scotland and be on the electoral roll.
All our elections are based on residency not birth place.
So, is it your position that only people who are Scottish by birth, reside within the UK, but outwith Scotland, who should be allowed to vote, or should anyone born in Scotland but now living anywhere else in the world be allowed to vote.
Also, how long should someone born in Scotland, but no longer resident in Scotland have lived in Scotland before they are allowed to vote in a Scottish referendum
Finally, given your argument, will you return to your birth place for the next census ?

Cheers

On the other side of the fence, apparently Sturgeon is in the pocket of MI5 and has been planted to stop independence ever happening. She is also a unionist, according to those headbangers. I have seen some pretty extreme theories regarding why the mainstream press have not published anything regarding what Craig Murray has said - apparently all of them are also unionists and in the pocket of the British establishment, and they are wanting Sturgeon to remain in place to further harm their dreams of an indy utopia.
Personally I think that it's more likely that they are scared of the legal ramifications of publishing and are waiting until Salmond gives his evidence to the Holyrood inquiry. Craig Murray could publicise his court submission simply because it was a court submission.
 
Yet another example of grievance politics we have had for years up here...... the flag waving morons who cheer for her will lap it up as they haven't the brains to see there is no substance behind the hype. The BBC and STV are so craven to the SNP that this will be repeated endlessly and without question. She's desperate not to talk about what her and her husband knew about Salmond as one or both have been lying to the Holyrood "parliament" about her predecessor, she's also desperate not to talk about the financial mismanagement of the country and the destruction of what used to be a fairly good education system. Sadly her only election ploy is now "I'm not Boris, so I'm much better than him.....".
Agreed - well written post.

Well if Scotland wants to be an independent country they will need to have to face up to what nationality means - and citizenship. It's entirely obvious that to the stereotypical SNP headbanger this is an unwelcomingly difficult idea to grasp, so best denied. However, Scotland would have to conform to international norms in relation to nationality and citizenship - presuming that independent Scotland was planning to be a democracy rather than a pariah dictatorship. Especially if Scotland would want to join the EU, they will find they have to treat the concepts of citizenship and nationality seriously.
Current elections in Scotland are only local elections so and it certainly is NOT true that general elections are based solely on residency.
A normal expectation would be that Scottish nationals - those born in Scotland, long term resident or with Scottish parents, would be eligible for nationality and therefore citizenship. It would certainly be odd for a country with a long emigrant labour tradition to try to disenfranchise a large tranche of its people. Other countries that have tried such stunts are not a group to aspire to.

I am already in my birthplace for the next census. Although you seem to be getting the modern world confused with the Roman Empire. A census has nothing to do with either nationality or citizenship.
 
Wee krank has always said if she wins independence for Scotland the nukes are shut down. Where the Heck is the mad woman going to find 6,500 jobs when all those submarines move to Portsmouth or Chatham?
And I get the feeling when she realises what she's done wrong it will England,s fault for being spiteful 🤪🤪

Easy. The Holywood PR department which will need far more staff than that to explain why the SNP is making such a fukcing abortion, rather than proud success, out of their newly independent country.
 
Anyone else have a problem understanding the meaning Caberfleidh's laughing emojis - It must be me, Or is it just cynicism ?

I wonder why The little woman apparently has it in for the fat man ?
