The lengths to which the Poison Pixie’s Praetorian Guard have been prepared to go to silence Alex Salmon very much suggest that she is guilty as charged by him.
Who knows precisely how complicit she was in the attempt to have her political rival imprisoned on trumped-up attempted rape charges? But her hands did not look clean. Further, it seems clear that she has since been complicit, if not the lead player, in the attempted cover-up.
She should resign. But she will not, of course any more than would the leader of any other Banana Republic who has been caught misbehaving.
By and large, it seems that the people of Scotland don’t much care. Indeed, they seem to quite like a bit of what Bill McLaren used to call, “a bit of argy-bargy in the scrum”. And besides, Alex Salmon is not an entirely attractive character, and they think that the Poison Pixie is doing quite a good job of hating the English.
