Taxi Driver Online

For what it's worth, Craig Murray has posted a shedload of stuff on his blog about his medical conditions and how that relates to the appeal regarding his prison sentence. Here's some of the more important stuff, but link to his full post below for anyone interested:



https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives ... l-records/

Seeing his medical symptoms some one should be hauled over the coals for granting him a licence, he is definitely not medically fit to hold a licence.

Er, he's not a cab driver, he's a political activisist and friend of the driver jailed over the organisation of a political march, who was featured in the article at the start of the thread.

Craig Murray's only other link with the trade (at least that I'm aware of) is his friendship with one of Dundee's former long-term absentee taxi operators, who as far as I know has since sold his plate. That's an interesting wee story in itself, but

Poorly people get sent to jail.

Don't do the crime, and well you know the rest.

Indeed, but the punishment should fit the crime

I'm no fan of Murray's, but he's 60-something and in poor health.

He never actually named any of the complainants, and anyone who really wants to know their identities can find out easily enough. So the degree to which he put the women in danger must be limited.

Maybe it's an 'exemplary sentence', ie to provide a wider deterrent?

I mean, it's all a bit of a charade anyway. Anyone ever considered the fact that Nicola Sturgeon might be one of the complainants against Salmond?

Probably not, but all this could have gone on - the civil case, the criminal case, the various enquiries - and even if Sturgeon had been one of the complainants she could never have been named publicly as such.

In fact one of the complainants whose identity I'm pretty sure about is often named in all of this as if not directly involved, but because she can't be named any casual reader wouldn't be aware that she was one of Salmond's alleged victims.

Another thing too is that the women seem to be exploiting their anonymity to continue to retry Salmond via the press, with the subtext that he's guilty as hell, effectively second guessing the verdict of the jury in the criminal trial.

Anyway, Murray has apparently raised well over £100k and is appealing both his conviction and sentence to the Supreme Court.

So it's all part of some kind of proxy war, but now the fact that it's a *UK/London* court will just add another dimension to it all, so it'll be another couple of years at least until it's all yesterday's news.

It's the fact he broke a court order, and those wearing the white wigs really don't like that.

And the orders aren't just not to name certain individuals, they state that you should not publish any information that may lead to those individuals being named.

The fella knew what he was doing and I doubt he will be sent to custody. However if he is he only has one person to blame for it.

Yes, that was the 'jigsaw identification' thing that's been done to death up here over the past year or so.

But, again, maybe better not say too much about that in case I end up alongside Craig Murray

Some saying the clear out was all about the Salmond case, and that the brown stuff is really about to hit the extractor device

And that Sturgeon's resignation had nothing to do with the trans stuff at all, nor the police investigation into missing party funds, nor the direct cause of the fall of cards since then.

Make of this below what you will. Obviously an insider who knows what they're talking about, but huge conspiracy theory?

Incidentally, of the people mentioned, all of whom have recently resigned:

- Peter Murrell is Mr Sturgeon, and was SNP chief executive;
- Murray Foote was the SNP's media chief;
- Liz Lloyd was Sturgeon's chief of staff, and also very close to Alex Salmond when he was in charge;
- Sir Iain Livingstone is Police Scotland's chief constable, who announced his resignation a couple of weeks ago.

I await further revelations with added glee.

Should a fraction of it be true.

If its true or even near the truth the Scottish press have been caught out aswell, im sure they know a great deal than what they actually print. The SNP have or had them in their pocket for years .

To be fair to the Scottish press, there are plenty of journalists who will put the boot in to the SNP when they have the evidence.

Of course, problem is that they have to have irrefutable evidence of dodgy doings and the like, or they'll end up in court.

The wilder fringes of the bloggers and social media don't have quite the same constraints. So there's plenty of stuff there that you won't read in the press. Of course, a lot of it will have an element of truth to it, but a lot of it is just nonsense.

I mean, all that stuff about Sturgeon being a closet lesbian with the secret partner in Portugal, and that the marriage to Peter Murrell is a sham, and the incident in the Waverley Hotel in Edinburgh, and all these super-injunctions that mean it'll never be reported in the press

Here's a thing, though - Sturgeon could have been one of the complainants against Salmond, yet we'd never be allowed to know because of the restrictions etc. After all, Craig Murray spent months in jail for identifying some of the complainants without even naming them

Haven't a clue myself

Those years and years of blaming Boris and Westminster are starting to wear very thin now.

All the SNP's problems lay at the feet of the SNP, and thankfully those Scots that voted SNP are now seeing just that.
