The Alex Salmond I knew
From a lean radical in the early 1980s, he evolved into a political titan.

Well, I could not find my post on that thread, so I salute your indefatigability.
I have no idea of what I am accused of having posted on that thread, so I am unable to comment on it. Perhaps you could re-post it for me.

It wasn't what you posted it was what you didn't post. You didn't complain that it was wrong to be to offensive about the dead, as you feel is the case with Salmond. Now I suppose you can argue that Thatcher is a special case, or that it doesn't matter because more years have elapsed. I just wondered why the inconsistency.

I detested the man, but what is the point in investigating allegations against a corpse?

Getting heard? Potentially, exposing others who might have assisted Salmond?

Aye, there is that.

As an (imperfect) parallel, all the women coming forward after al fayed's death have served to expose all the institutions and individuals who helped him.

I have a cheese grater in the dishwasher.
There was a police inquiry into the crimes after his death too, and as I recall, the scope of it broadened over time.
I’m not suggesting the scope or scale here will be similar, but it’s worth noting that police investigations into allegations against a deceased individual are not novel, and their point is not to secure a conviction of the deceased person.

Thatcher died in 2013, and I joined Urban 75 in 2020. I apologise for not reading things posted seven years before I joined.

Well, you should not accept my apology until I can provide proof that I have read every post on Urban 75 in the seven years between the death of Thatcher and me joining Urban 75. I shall expect you to pledge yourself to reading every post in the seven years before you joined.

Bizarre Coda:
I had a dream last night in which I was on a ferry with Salmond and 2 other people. Details have faded now, but there had been some kind of payout following his apparent death, but there he was right as rain. After getting off the ferry I wanted to explain that he was still with us and so we shouldn't have had the payout, trying to get the explanation in before we got arrested. So I went into a small booth at the port and began to tell my tale to the customs official and then tried to turn round to point him out, saying 'he's still alive'. However, yer man had done a runner and the booth door locked, leaving me to carry the can.
Not sure why my brain, which rarely remembers dreams, coughed that up. Plenty for both the psychological and political scientific community to get their teeth into. Only thing I can think of is that a mate got done on the train recently for misusing a pass.... some weird link to dodginess on a ferry? But Salmond, wtf???
