Well done, got the whole constituency. Including the island that appears to be off Gosport... Plus the Forts.

I can't help but wonder whether the rustle of compensatory lucre has inspired some of these reports - you could go in any gay club and see playful flirting which could be construed or explained as 'sexual harassment'

or Mike you want people to come to you because a name and other complaints have been recieved. In the Stuart Hall case this was exactly what happened and in the end he pleaded guilty.

Bill Walker MSP for Dunfermline was in court today and faces 24 counts of assault. Trial hearing July 8th.
Should there be a by-election this will be much more interesting than Donside. The old seat of Dunfermline West was held by the LDs and the new seat was notionally held by them too. Labour were only 600 votes behind in 2011 (2%)

But boogie, didn't you know, anyone blessed by the touch of Saint Salmond can do no wrong. They are perfect creatures, born again in the light of nationalism.

To be fair to the SNP, they've not exactly sought to defend Bill Walker.

In a hypothetical by-election it looks like Labour will win relatively comfortably, right?

In a gay context this sort of thing has a very unpleasant history, though, and I hope we won't be travelling down that road again. I would certainly like to see the removal of financial compensation used as a bait to get people to cough.

so there should be no compensation for victims ? When you are dealing with high profile criminals I am afraid you have to get their name out to get people to come forward.

I know that at Westminster its for a custodial sentance of more than 12 months - although in practice its been any conviction.

Section 15(1)(b) of the Scotland Act 1998 applies the same disqualifications in this regard. As he would be disqualified from being an MP under the RPA 1981, then he would be disqualified from remaining as an MSP.
