So this simply occurred.
Which even within the hopelessly politically-debased world of the trendy Scottish judiciary could be one of the crucial extraordinary miscarriages of justice within the nation’s historical past.
As a result of what Dave Llewelyn really did was quote George Galloway’s personal phrases.
He didn’t simply say it as soon as, both.
He then went on to discovered “Alliance For Unity” (later “All For Unity”), a political social gathering which noticed Galloway ally himself actively and immediately with the Tories, to the extent that he personally voted for them.
However discovering examples of George Galloway doing political U-turns is about as arduous as – nicely, we higher not say “capturing fish in a barrel”, eh? We don’t need to be accused of hate crimes towards fish, particularly because the First Minister shares a reputation with one. Let’s say “recognizing Protestants at Ibrox”.
The truth that Galloway subsequently DID the very factor he mentioned individuals ought to shoot him for isn’t even the purpose. The purpose is that Dave Llewelyn was merely quoting his personal phrases again at him when he did it.
The trial decide knew that full nicely, but astoundingly nonetheless handed down a responsible verdict (there was no jury to snicker on the absurdity of all of it, which can clarify the alacrity with which the Scottish Authorities is attempting to dispose of them).
Dave Llewelyn might now face imprisonment as some kind of harmful terrorist, and if declaring that George Galloway is a ridiculous buffoon makes you a terrorist then just about everybody in Britain is in plenty of hassle.
So no matter you do, don’t inform him to poke his personal eyes out
or he’ll grass you proper as much as the rozzers after which challenge prolonged statements to the media about how horrified and frightened George Galloway was by the horrible issues George Galloway mentioned.
We’ll be sincere, readers – this morning we had been certain that this might be probably the most embarrassing and ludicrous story about Scottish justice we’d see as we speak:
However our nation is now such a banana-republic joke that in the long run it wasn’t even a detailed second.
Dave Llewelyn’s card was marked, in fact, as quickly as he drew the ire of the SNP’s inheritor obvious and his aromatic spouse.
Mrs Robertson is the chief of a PR firm with a strikingly giant catalogue of awards in its quick historical past and 13 full-time workers (principally identical-looking younger ladies) regardless of having belongings of simply £15,000.
And we’re certain these occasions are unconnected to the inexplicable presence of Crown Agent David Harvie at Llewelyn’s listening to. Maybe Mr Harvie simply actually enjoys trial, since he additionally confirmed up for Craig Murray’s.
However for those who’re not fearful of the path Scotland’s heading in underneath the rule of Nicola Sturgeon, readers, we’d recommend that you just’re actually not paying consideration.
