Walker began: "Nicola Sturgeon under a bit of pressure, that inquiry she will be giving her evidence today from 9am. Do you agree that she's fighting for her political life today?"
All in a day's work in #scottishparliament !!

"No I don't," Blackford replied. "I think what you're saying is the worse kind of politicking from the Conservatives."
You might even think they don't want #ScottishIndependence 🏴 !

"This has been a much-postponed appearance from the First Minister at the committee she's been very much looking forward to coming in front of them, she'll of course answer all the questions they put to her."
WHY did #Salmond repeatedly refuse to attend to give 'evidence' if it existed?
#Salmond himself said, when giving evidence, that 'just because someone says something, doesn't make it true.'
Has #Aberdein been questioned by committee or was his written response deemed adequate?

"This is a situation that will be drawing to a close on the back of the parliamentary investigation and indeed investigation of the standards commissioner."
#Dross, #Fraser, #Mitchell & #Davidson, perhaps ALL Tories presume to impose THEIR conclusion without assessing evidence!

One might conclude that Tories demonstrate more than a little political bias!
Were #Dross, #Fraser, #Mitchell & #Davidson or any other Tories actually present or in position to provide 'first hand' evidence?
Whatever happened to the legal dictum, 'innocent until proven guilty'?

"You say @Ianblackford_MP there's some playing politics going on, the Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross in calling for that vote of no confidence, yes she hasn't given evidence yet," Walker said.
#Dross's calls for resignations, without hearing evidence are politically motivated bias & demonstrate poor judgement!
I might add, that #Dross's actions and comments evidently demonstrate that he is unfit for high office and would be advised to reflect on his conduct and tone!

"But he said, 'No evidence she could give will counter the claims of numerous witnesses or refute that her Government ignored the legal advice for months and lost more than £500,000 of taxpayers money in the process.'"

How often have we heard the expression, 'It was a matter of judgement', or 'it was a judgement call'?
Each individual is unique and therefore, their decisions and judgements reflect this.
Context is everything and will define the parameters of decision making & judgements made.

Context is everything and will define the parameters of decision making & judgements made.
Often, individuals may differ on decisions or judgements but will work together, when required, to reach a final decision or judgement within the terms of a remit and predetermined standards and criteria that must be met.
A general standard is that of the "reasonable man", i.e.
"the standard demanded is thus not of perfection but of reasonableness".
The nature of judgements rest upon a consideration and weighing up of all factors in the matter requiring a judgement.
That includes evidence!

"Yes the problem with that is the narrative that the Conservatives are putting around is not true," Blackford argued.
Tories have a proven track record for lies and duping the public, in order to impose their flawed and damaging ideology on UK.
But, NOT Scotland!

"It's a bit rich that the Conservatives haven't waited for that scrutiny of the First Minister before they've rushed a judgement I thought we worked on the premise of justice applying in our politics."
😀👍

Blackford replied: "I think at the end of the day what's important is the women that came forward."
"We mustn't lose sight of that and it is absolutely crucial that if they are any allegations of harassment or sexual misconduct that they will be treated seriously."

"BBC Breakfast viewers weren't impressed with the broadcaster's coverage of the inquiry and took to Twitter to comment."
"The BBC are obsessed with unproven claims about the SNP but totally unperturbed about Tories behaving unlawfully and bunging their mates billions in taxpayer money. One might be forgiven for thinking they're caving in to pressure from the cabinet or simply biased #BBCBreakfast."
"So suddenly when it's a Scottish internal political issue that's nothing to do with the Tories, @BBCBreakfast suddenly becomes interested in interrogating politicians. Utterly corrupt by the BBC," another remarked.
"@BBCBreakfast @BBCNews Can you tell me why you are having so much coverage of the politics of Scotland and nothing about the lies and deceit of the Westminster government?"
Scotland is on the map!!
Now, let's have a meaningful discussion on #ScottishIndependence 🏴
