It's all about Alex being in control and he's playing the victim card for all it's worth. The fact that it's making a mockery of the whole system is neither here nor there as far as he's concerned.

I wouldn't be attending in these circumstances either. Looks like a total stitch up.

I've read through all the Salmond evidence and I'm really struggling to see where the supposed danger of jigsaw identification is coming from, it just isn't there. Lots of mentions of Nicolas meeting with Aberdein (the one she forgot about) thats what this is really about. As I've said before I don't buy nicola and her husbands story one iota. I reckon sturgeon knew about the allegations weeks before she told parliament.

Which of course should be a resigning matter.

Little doubt Salmond is a bit of a sleaze but he has been treated appallingly here, and could have ended up in prison on charges that looked like they were 'cooked up' with retrospective rule changes clearly designed to target him.
