[The SNP is facing fresh claims that senior
party figures conspired against its former
leader Alex Salmond.
One of its own MPs has told Sky News
that high-ranking members
of the party shared dozens
of messages about the former
first minister in a social media group chat,
calling themselves the "Vietnam" group.


In text exchanges before last year's
criminal trial of Mr Salmond,
which resulted in his acquittal,
it's claimed they discussed the reluctance
of an alleged victim to give evidence
and efforts they could take to give her encouragement.

The new claims are made by Kenny MacAskill,
the SNP MP for East Lothian and Scotland's
former justice secretary.

He has told Sky News that content
of the digital communications has long
been a subject of open discussion within
SNP circles, and he has backed calls for
Scotland's Crown Office to release
the text messages as written proof.
Of the unpublished messages,
Mr MacAskill told Sky News:
"There has been long-standing talk in SNP circles
about WhatsApp and text messages
and I've been in correspondence
with the Crown (office) about it.
There's a WhatsApp group that
was called the 'Vietnam' group that i
ncluded SNP staffers and even members of government."]

What? A bunch of disorganised nationalists also have back-stabby tendencies? Who could predict such a thing!

[Cherie]

Nicola will surely be keen to release the messages

[Alex Salmond may pull out of Holyrood committee
hearing after evidence removed from
Scottish parliament website
The former first minister's lawyer says the removal
of evidence could have a "material bearing" on his
committee appearance.]

[Some 474 words appear to have been removed
from the former first minister's evidence,
which was published on Monday evening.
Mr McKie said he needed clarification in order
to "properly advise our client and make
further representations".
He added: "These could have a material bearing
on whether he is able to attend tomorrow."]

Her husbands evidence contradicted hers in the original trial, it would be nice to get to the truth, if she did conspire to have an innocent man imprisoned that would attract a jail sentence for her in itself I would have thought? and if she didn't let the evidence be heard so it can be put to bed

i think whichever way you look at it its really bad, Wee Nic's husband is chief exec and he was happy to stick Salmond in jail. If they fabricated stuff to try and put him away, they are the ones who should go to prison

just shows how powerful they are that this story is not headline news everywhere!

The narrative that "poor Alex is innocent" is straight from the same mouths and mindsets as anti-masking, Trump-supporting and Q conspiracies to be honest.

What is the reason for the suppression of evidence do you know?

I am not saying he is innocent or not innocent but I don't understand the conflicting accounts given by Nic and her hubby or why this is not being allowed to go foward?

I'm not saying there isn't also political-shenanigans... isn't there always... but it's been used by certain groups to paint this narrative of pawsy-Salmond as the victim (or even some sort of hero), his accusers as liars, etc. and it's pretty disgusting.

The whole thing is muddied with Unionist agenda, which makes the media reporting difficult to wade through, and Social Media ramblings pretty much worthless. In short, this is internal politics and has absolutely nothing to do with Scottish Independence - however it is being deliberately used as an anti-Independence vehicle by Unionists on both sides of the border, which makes it at this point a complete cluster**** of misinformation. I personally have no real idea what's gone on. What I've mentioned in this thread is all that I'm relatively sure of.

1) Salmond's poor-me-I'm-persecuted act is absolute nonsense, I very much believe the claims that he is a misogynist **** with wandering hands.

2) The reporting is more about unrelated political agendas than the facts on either side.

Probably. They all are. I'd still rather be under a corrupt SNP in Edinburgh making Scotland-centric decisions than a corrupt Tory government in Westminster ****ing over everywhere other than London & The South.

Of course ideally, none of them would be corrupt, but that's dreaming the impossible dream I sadly suspect.

To clear up what's gone on there needs to be transparency and Nicola has done everything she can to subvert that. I've never liked Salmond, i've never liked Nicola and each is playing games right now and it's not a good look for either of them. If unionists take advantage of their mess, why shouldn't they. The SNP have been quick as lighting to stick the boot in when they saw the slightest opportunity
