“If you want to know how utterly bereft of truth the whole political process now is in Scotland you need look no further than the Fabiani Whitewash – aka the “Report of the Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints”.
“[…] This was in the clearest possible breach of the Scottish Government’s own procedure. It’s just one of the many scandals in the process that ended up costing the Scottish taxpayer well over a million pounds and counting but it’s self-evidently an important one. It’s one that should have been investigated with great rigour by the Fabiani inquiry so that clear findings could have been made and responsibility apportioned.
“Instead, they’ve found the most contemptible way of avoiding any contact with the truth. […] This is Orwellian doublethink hiding in plain sight. […] We desperately need a judicial inquiry into what was done to Alex Salmond and why.”
