Alex Salmond

Another Harvey Weinstein in the wings waiting perhaps?

Re: Alex Salmond

A good way to get rid of a politician you don't like....Sexual misconduct is the 'Kiss of Death' to any bloke in the public eye...It doesn't matter if the accusation is true or not....I do feel sorry for him though....

I don't. I see he's crowdfunding his court case with the Scottish Government.

Re: Alex Salmond

Although I loathe the man, I certainly won't judge him.
I still believe in innocent until proven guilty.
I feel sorry for any man in the public eye, I feel sorry for Salmond. All it takes is one female with a beef against them, it doesn't matter how long ago it allegedly happened. it could be perhaps that he treated them badly, sacked them, ignored them, it could be some female who wants her 15 minutes of fame, who knows? but it is so easy now to accuse a public figure and they are finished! Even He who must obey here is saying "there's no smoke without fire". so what chance does a man have of ever being able to prove the accusations are completely made up!. Imagine what Cliff Richards went through with even worse accusations.

If he is guilty, so be it, chuck the ruddy book at him, but sometimes I feel there is a bit of a witch-hunt from the Me Too brigade, where everyone wants in on the act.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me if I am.

Sexual harassment and abuse has NEVER been acceptable.

Yes, why can't he pay for it himself?

Yet another example of giving out the name of the alleged abuser and not the accuser.
