SALMOND IN HIGH COURT ON SEX CHARGES
BBC Scotland is reporting that Alex Salmond appeared in court charged with carrying out a series of sexual offences against 10 women while serving as Scotland’s first minister. Mr Salmond faced a total of 14 charges at the High Court in Edinburgh. He denies all the allegations, which include one attempted rape, one intent to rape, 10 sexual assaults and two indecent assaults. The offences are alleged to have happened between June 2008 and November 2014. His QC, Gordon Jackson, said Mr Salmond was pleading not guilty, and judge Lady Dorrian set the trial date for 9 March next year. The trial is expected to last about four weeks.
Mr Salmond served as first minister between 16 May 2007 and 20 November 2014.
OARDACIOUS TEAM READY TO FACE THE ATLANTIC
The team, who have named themselves “HMS Oardacious”, will be the first official Royal Navy team to participate in the 3,000-mile Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Leaving from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12, they are aiming to row, unaided, to Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, arriving just over a month later. More people have been into space or climbed Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic so it’s an epic endeavour by the Submariners.
