@bellaforindy@believeinscot@iain_00 He's not really a man of action though. He's more a man of Devolution and the sooner people see it , the sooner we will be free of Pishminster
@believeinscot@hannada39 And our MSPs of all colours allow it . Shower of shysters the lot of them . We will never be free until the devolutionists in the SNP are ousted

It is blatantly clear that the complainers in the Alex Salmond case (the same ones who complained against me) have weaponized the anonymity orders established to protect actual victims of sexual assault, for politically driven reasons.
WHAT IS 'CONTEMPT'?
"It is not a "crime" and not an "offence". Contempt is an administrative fiat of the judiciary. There is no crime, no trial, no defence, and no appeal. It is judicial despotism that has no place in a genuine democracy." Dr John O'Dowd
PALESTINE - UPDATE
Sexual abuse being used by settlers and IDF as coercion on Palestinians to leave the west Bank
Israeli soldiers and settlers are using gendered violence and sexual assault and harassment to force Palestinians from their homes in the occupied West Bank, human rights and legal experts say.
Palestinian women, men and children have reported attacks, forced nudity, invasive and painful body cavity searches, Israelis exposing their genitals, including to minors, and threats of sexual violence.
Sixteen cases of conflict-related sexual violence were recorded by researchers for the West Bank Protection Consortium over the last three years, a figure that is likely an under-reporting because of the shame and stigma faced by survivors.
“Sexualised violence is used to pressure communities, shape decisions about remaining or leaving their homes and land, and alter patterns of daily life,” the group of international humanitarian organisations said in a report.
The study, “Sexual violence and forcible transfer in the West Bank”, details accounts of escalating sexualised attacks and humiliation of Palestinians in their communities and inside their homes since 2023.
Other forms of reported violence include urinating on Palestinians, taking and distributing humiliating photographs of bound and stripped individuals, stalking women who are using latrines, and threatening sexual violence against women. The case studies are anonymised because of the stigma surrounding sexual violence.
Sexualised attacks were hastening the displacement of Palestinians, according to the report. More than two-thirds of households surveyed identified rising violence against women and children, including sexual harassment targeting girls, as a tipping point in their decision to leave, the consortium said.
“Participants described sexualised harassment as the moment when fear shifted from chronic to unbearable. They spoke of watching women and girls endure humiliation and of calculating what might happen next,” the report said.
Israeli soldiers present during abuse had repeatedly failed to prevent it or prosecute those responsible. One woman was subjected to a painful internal search by two female soldiers who entered her home with settlers then ordered her to remove her clothes for a full body search.
Men and boys were also targets of sexual assault and harassment. Last month, Israeli settlers stripped 29-year old Qusai Abu al-Kebash, from the northern Jordan valley community of Khirbet Humsa, put a zip tie on his genitals and beat him in front of his community and international activists, witnesses said.
In October 2023 settlers and soldiers stripped, handcuffed and beat Palestinians from the village of Wadi as-Seeq, urinated on them, attempted to rape one with a broom handle, and took photographs of them naked which they then distributed publicly.
A recent decision to drop charges against soldiers for the filmed rape of an inmate at the Sde Teiman centre sent a particularly clear message.
“Israeli officials are effectively green-lighting the use of sexual violence, when they decide not to prosecute the most high-profile case, which is extremely well documented,” Ansari said. “There is a culture of accepting sexualised assault against Palestinians.

The destruction by the snp, of the Guardian of Scotland (as I’m sure one day he will be named), Alex Salmond, is and will remain, a running sore in Scotland, which will not be cleaned out without a wire brush; disinfectant and a court trial where the guilty do time for their lies and slow murder of that man! Of that I’m sure
Netanyahu: "Iran planned another Holocaust. It plotted to destroy us with nuclear bombs."
Iran has no nuclear bombs. Israel has 200+. The only "another Holocaust" happening is in Gaza, with Israeli bombs.
Too many Scots assimilated and effectively owned. Us ‘separatists’ have seen through the nonsense . Indy is normal . Send the ‘too wee, too poor’ home to think again. 🏴#Salvo
