Salmond Alleges Dirty Tricks Campaign Against MacNeil

Alex Salmond has spoken out about the dirty tricks campaign being waged against his SNP colleague Angus MacNeil HERE and HERE. He alleges that MacNeil is being followed, has had strange phone calls to his house and that he has had to have his Westminster office swept for bugs. I cannot possibly think which rival political party would have anything to gain from seeing MacNeil's nose rubbed in it, can you? Bastards.

Smear Campaign Against MacNeil Boomerangs

One day after the Labour supporting Sunday Mail published a salacious story about the SNP MP who started the 'Cash for Peerages' inquiry, things are beginning to look bad for the paper.
The parents of two young women linked to Angus MacNeil have released a statement saying the story was "exaggerated and inaccurate". They go on to say...

"The story, as reported, contained substantial and substantive inaccuracies and
misquotations, and even with such inaccuracies clearly had no basis for the
level of salaciousness which its sensational headline maliciously
suggested."

You can see the revealing stories in the Hebidean Times HERE and Stornoway Today HERE. I wonder if the Sunday Mail and other media will give this updated version of events the same prominence as the racier stories in today's papers?

EXCLUSIVE: Dirty Tricks Details Emerge Against SNP MP

Further inquiries with Inspector McKnacker have confirmed a concerted dirty tricks campaign against "Cash for Peerages" MP Angus MacNeil.

Three forces have been investigating a sustained operation to smear the Scot Nat who has caused consternation at the heart of the Labour government. While the Special Branch in London has been looking into the possible bugging of an SNP office at Westminster, Glasgow CID are investigating a much witnessed following operation against MacNeil and Northern Constabulary have been concerned about suspicious calls to his home on the Western Isles.
All of this comes on the same day as the Labour supporting Sunday Mail newspaper has splashed a two year old "Kiss and Cuddle" story about MacNeil.

Would this be an attempt to undermine the MP who exposed the "Cash for Peerages" morass or does it have anything to do with the latest opinion poll in Scotland which puts the SNP 12 points ahead of Labour?

Labour Dirty Tricks Target SNP MP

On the day of a new poll showing the SNP 12 points clear of Labour, the Labour supporting Sunday Mail newspaper has splashed with a salacious story about Angus MacNeil MP. He is alleged to have been involved in a "Kiss and Cuddle" after a ceilidh some years ago, but nothing more.

In a remarkable coincidence the minor personal indiscretions by the Scot Nat who started the 'Cash for Peerages' inquiry are being used to deflect from the woes of the failing Labour campaign. My police sources confirm that the situation is even murkier, with Angus MacNeil being the target of a concerted dirty tricks campaign. Watch this space.
