"Committee still discussing, with the actual report and confirmed wording to follow in the next few days. As of this evening though there are details emerging that the committee have voted 5-4 that they believe Sturgeon has lied. " Oh dear! The eye aversion at every searching question did her for me. | |||

"I thought the ministerial code said that she must?" The code says 'knowingly'. They have supposedly left that word out of the ruling. Not sure what will happen from here but I doubt she will resign | |||

"I thought the ministerial code said that she must?" That's the majority of the Conservative government ministers and Boris that should also have gone but they haven't so I don't see why Nicola should. | |||

"I thought the ministerial code said that she must?" No. It says she's expected to. If Hamilton finds that she did, she'll have to go. As I've said on the subject before; if she doesn't, she'll be no better than the Tory hypocrites after her blood. If she goes - or not - I'll still vote SNP. I want Scotland to become independent. The only other option is the Scottish Green Party; they're far more limited. If any tories think I'd be a hypocrite to vote for a party with a dodgy leader; well ... really? Lied to HMQ in order to try and prorogue Parliament ... 126,000 dead ... £37 billion of taxpayers money given to their friends - for fuck all in return ... Anyone who supports the shower of cunts responsible for all that, really doesn't get to criticise anyone who disagrees with them. | |||

"I think that there's another inquiry by an indepenent lawyer, looking at whether she specifically broke the Ministerial Code. " There is. If James Hamilton finds she's broken the code, she'll have to go. If her deputy, Keith Brown, is eventually elected leader in her place, that might be a smart move. In that event, the Tories will be attacking someone who isn't a woman, used to be a Royal Marine and served in the Falklands War. I guess we'll see ... | |||

Not sure what will happen from here but I doubt she will resign Because she has no integrity!!" The great thing will be should she be found to have broken the ministerial code, doe she do a Jenrick, or a Patel, Hancock or a Boris and just say fuck it, we’re more important than the little people? I know where my money is. I’d like to hope she sets a precedent and resigns and then Westminster does the same. Be careful what you ask for | |||

"MSPs have found that Nicola Sturgeon misled Parliament over Alex Salmond. Being a lawyer, an MSP, the First Minister, then do we expect her to resign? " No, that’s not totally correct. The vote from the board that heard evidence was along partisan sides. 5-4, the 5 being made up of the opposing parties, the 4 of the SNP. There was no surprise there but in itself broke the rules by reporting anything before the verdict was published. The overall report from the Irish lawyer is still to be published and I believe that that’s the one to watch, rather than the first. | |||

In fact, Andy Wightman, used to stand as a Green (traditional ally of the SNP). That gives the Commitee a sense of balance. Does the fact that the 4 SNP members found for NS, make them as partisan as well? | |||

Agree on the latter point, my initial thought when the first one was leaked was it's probably the SNP getting some deflection in and spin going once they saw how the committee voted against there opponents for the May elections.. | |||

"Looks like she's going to get away with it! " She didn't get away with anything. James Hamilton QC has found - after a thorough inquiry that she herself called for - that she did not breach the ministerial code. I know that you and your kind will not be satisfied by his findings; but since none of you are relevant to the entire issue - since you don't vote up here - your disappointment means nothing. | |||

"You shouldn’t need detail- it’s in the dictionary." Yes go read it! You can't explain how it is because it isn't! You might as well say the thread is racist for attacking a Scottish person lol or perhaps you're trans phobic for throwing it at me? | |||

"Wow! Cummings sturgeon trump... clinton...macron...seems you can say what you like... even Andrew marr caught her out lying on tape! Is there some sort of special grease these fuckers use lol what a fucking circus....lol
I take it you missed out Johnson, Patel, Hancock and Jenrick because they never lie and/or break laws?
I'd be here forever naming every politician that lies! Then if I added fab members I'd be here until eternity lol " | |||

Ok, misogyny is when you treat a woman in a manner you would not treat a man and that demeans her. Referring to her attitude as being simpering and demure and then the opposite is to describe her in terms relative to the man. That man, let us not forget, has been accused of inappropriate behaviour- do not EVER forget -and in suggesting her behaviour towards him as being steely after those accusations is to seriously not understand how obnoxious that view is. The voice of the women accusing him should be the ones shouting for fairness. It is being drowned out by those like you who continue to focus on perceived personalities of politicians. | |||

"alex has got nothing to do with your accusation, but wasnt he found NOT guilty, lets never forget THAT. Think you might suffer Misandry lol. ref misogyny... i didnt call her simpering for starters, but using descriptive text about a woman is not misogyny. You can hate a woman and not hate ALL women. Misogyny is a hatred of women, as in ALL women and a feeling that men are better than women. Not just the one woman! Now do you see the difference? So you are talking shit. | |||

"I think you misunderstand exactly what misogyny means. Your comments about Salmond are misjudged and wrong. It doesn’t really surprise me. I have no wish to engage with this any more. The women who were affected by this whole political charade are the only ones who matter." Im no fan of salmond but he was found innocent and iirc one accuser was found to have made up the allegations yet you think he deserves no sympathy | |||

"I said he was accused of inappropriate behaviour. I was not referring to his trial other than say the voice of the women who accused him have been lost but worse, their anonymity compromised. " Why should a man be named until found guilty ? Mud sticks | |||

I’m sorry you don’t understand misogyny and how you crossed the line. It’s a subtle concept, right enough. As for you not understanding the difference between ‘inappropriate behaviour’ and ‘attempted r..e’, I cannot explain. One he was not tried for, the other he was. However, it is of no consequence because others can read and do understand. | |||
