“… a sad day for Scottish justice”
Not just Scottish justice but the whole of the UK. The Supreme Court ruled there was not point of law that could be the subject of an appeal. A brazen cowardly injustice.

Clearly (to my mind), this prison sentence is opportunistic punishment for Craig’s unwavering support for Julian Assange. But, it also extends beyond that. It drives home the idea that independent reporters like Assange and Murray should not be considered or accepted as “real” journalists or publishers, and exempts such independent actors in the journalism space from any of the protections or considerations afforded to members of the “free press”. Slippery slope.
The MOCKINGBIRDS,
being cuckoo in the nest,
have now gained ownership of ‘the law’ protecting hard fought rights to Truth and Beauty.
Assange. Now Murray.

A protection racket of deepstate.

Given the state of the tabloid journalism, it is extraordinary that “reporters” at the Mirror or the Daily Mail who manufacture gossip and soccer rumours (something I read all the time) are given a pass, but an independent journalist is being punished with jail time for reporting on a serious political trial. Disgusting!
If Alex Salmond was acquitted, how can Murray be convicted about even hinting at the identities of the accusers when no crime was committed? Did he publish during the trial or after the trial?
Julian Assange seems to have fallen off the radar. Now we have a new boy in town.
The suggestion that the legacy media is staffed by ‘real journalists’ is risible. Black Rock and Vanguard (who own controlling shares in almost every industry) control the mainstream media, who ‘investigate’ as they are instructed to investigate and ‘report’ as they are instructed to report. The Supreme Court doesn’t consider this to be an important enough case to consider (freedom of the press … meh) .. in much the same way that the United States Supreme Court didn’t consider the evidence for nationwide electoral fraud to be important enough to consider. We have our very own swamp.
The point is, the legacy media would NOT say whatever they want about an important case (such as that of Alex Salmond) because the legacy media is a completely controlled instrument of state propaganda and the official narrative. This is why they have immunity; they are ‘safe hands’ under the instruction of the Home Office. Independent journalists are much more difficult to control so must be ruthlessly squashed. This is a mirror image of the USA, where every mainstream channel spouts an official narrative (most often using the exact same words). In this respect what is the difference between life… Read more »
