"Not to be disparaging" LOL n/t Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #15

That's nonsense. Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #13

Those in power protect the wealthy and powerful first. Thomas Hurt Feb 2021 #3

Scots are not better than the americans lol at the scots Fullduplexxx Feb 2021 #5

the vote in Holyrood, amended so the power of investigation goes to the Civil Recovery Unit (CRU) Celerity Feb 2021 #6

Thank you................for this turbinetree Feb 2021 #8

here is the full debate on the motions Celerity Feb 2021 #9

I guess we will have to wait for the CRU.........thank you again turbinetree Feb 2021 #10

Are the Torres still the UK version of conservatism? tia uponit7771 Feb 2021 #11

Yes, officially their name is the Conservative and Unionist Party Celerity Feb 2021 #12

I am more persuaded by the following arguments Celerity Feb 2021 #23

Perhaps you'll be persuaded by some explanation of how UWOs fit in to legal proceedings. Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #25

I actually had went and looked at those cases before I replied initially, I stand by my stance Celerity Feb 2021 #26

Then perhaps the Scottish legislation itself may be more persuasive. Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #28

I am not changing my mind, sorry, and it is simply an investigation, it is not like Holyrood is Celerity Feb 2021 #29

The key point is that it would be "simply an investigation" with no current legal basis. Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #31

The power to call for an Unexplained Wealth Order always did rest with the CRU. Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #18

perhaps I should have said remains with, but in this case it could have been triggered by Holyrood Celerity Feb 2021 #27

What bullshit! smirkymonkey Feb 2021 #16

They're not "standing by him". Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #17

Funny, you seem strangely on his side here. smirkymonkey Feb 2021 #19

Read the bloody debate dkhbrit Feb 2021 #20

Yeah, we would expect that here too, don't we? smirkymonkey Feb 2021 #21

that's subjective spin and framing, as I've already pointed out in multiple replies on this thread Celerity Feb 2021 #30

"subjective spin and framing" would be ignoring the need for LEGAL JUSTIFICATION for an UWO Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #32

Not rebutted at all to my satisfaction. We are just going to have to agree to disagree, much like Celerity Feb 2021 #33

Well, I don't think any of us in Scotland are satisfied with Trump's very existence, Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #35

I respect your opinion, and I can see your points. Hopefully the shitehawk eventually sees justice Celerity Feb 2021 #36

"I don't think you quite understand the Scots." Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #24

Ok, I agree. You do understand the issues over there better than I do. smirkymonkey Feb 2021 #37

Oh, we had every reason to have contempt for Trump even before he became President. Denzil_DC Feb 2021 #38
