Feb 2021. Salmond Sturgeon and Scotland Part 7

Bernard Ponsonby is a veteran reporter in Scotland, well respected. He asks about the submission being hauled back by the Crown Office and having to be redacted and then republished after it had already been published in the public domain. I have a copy of the unredacted document, I’m no lawyer, but after my third time of reading, I see no problem. And this thing about protecting who have gave evidence in a trial that is now finished and done. It is done, it can’t be re-opened! Obviously names need protected, but if the Crown are trying to hold back, there is little point. What has been in the public domain cannot be removed from the public domain. Don’t these twats know that?
