the Scottish government have paid out over £500,000 for the flawed inquiry into sexual harassment.But the public inquiry wont begin until the criminal case against him has run its course which will begin in 2020.Very convenient for nicola sturgeon.

It's normal for brexiters. See defects in others but not at home and their choice.

Not really. The next election is 2021.

I honestly don't think the outcome of the Salmond case will push the political needle in any direction.

It's about the character of an individual, not the course of a country.

Why equate the costly mistake by the Scottish Government with Brexit?

The two aren't linked in anyway.

They're linked in two ways.

1. Both wastes of money for the UK.

2. Brexiteers seem to have strong opinions on one, relatively small waste of money, but don't care about a much larger waste of money.

It was just an observation based on the people who posted on the tread.

Worse still with Brexit, apart from the £billions spent on it, are the opportunity costs.

So postings based on opinions on people rather than actual facts?

We all agree that Brexit is costly, that's without any doubt. But this situation with Alex Salmond and the Scottish Government has occurred, has nothing to do with Brexit and has occurred Brexit or no Brexit.

There appears to be plenty of people, many of which are on this every forum, that still believe brexit will be beneficial to the uk and that there is no cost.

Government screw-ups are nothing new.

£500k for getting disciplinary process wrong?

A few weeks ago the UK Government paid out £10m to Serco in compensation for getting a procurement badly wrong.

I recall a US firm, Energy Solutions, collecting £100m in compensation after unfairly losing a Government tender.

Government, all government, has a habit of making mistakes and paying a hefty price.

In July, a right-wing think-tank called Freer published a report by the Tory MP Lee Rowley, who sits on the Public Accounts Committee.

It concluded, based on work by the PAC and NAO, the UK Government had wasted £7.5 billion on useless projects or crap project management.

£7.5 billion.

Half million quid seems lose change compared to £600 million a day .Which is one estimated cost so far for 3 years for brexit.

But maybe for some £50 billion or £100 billion is a small price to pay for an ideologue .

No one said it's a "justification". Just pointing out inconsistencies in the level of outrage.

Brexit costs 12,000 times this amount per week.

How on earth do you come to the conclusion that sexual harassment isn't important to me?

Which is a weird way to phrase your weird conclusion.

That's pretty left field thinking, even for someone who believes that water boils at 23 degrees centigrade.

I don't recall you starting a thread about the waste of £100m of your money on Energy Solutions, or £10m on Serco, because of public sector incompetence. But £500k has you frothing at the mouth. How peculiar.

In the time it has taken me to write this, a lot more than 500k has been wasted on interest to service the national debt.

The national debt is rising at a rate of £310,000 per minute.
