Well, there’s no doubt that someone was lying, but who?
POLICE have received a formal complaint that witnesses perjured
themselves during the Tommy Sheridan defamation trial, strengthening
the possibility of a criminal investigation.
The complaint, from a member of the public, was lodged with
Lothian and Borders Police on Saturday and has been referred to the
Crown Office for guidance as to whether an inquiry is required. A
second complaint is expected to be lodged by Brian Monteith, an
Independent Member of the Scottish Parliament.
Mr
Sheridan is expected soon to take the first steps to reclaim the
leadership of the Scottish Socialist Party, which he helped to found
ten years ago.
Yesterday the party’s executive committee met in Glasgow to
assess its position after Mr Sheridan’s £200,000 legal victory on
Friday against the News of the World’s allegations. Eleven
senior party figures had testified against him during his court battle
to defend his reputation against newspaper claims that he was an
adulterer who took part in orgies. Last night the committee issued a
statement calling on him to apologise for claiming that his political
enemies had framed him.
Going to be interesting finding out really, isn’t it?
