So why didn’t the Inquiry follow the correct procedure in the first place, leading to claims that the information was being withheld by the SG?

Cover up! Conspiracy! Something about a campervan.

Widna be like him..
Is r/Scotland just a platform for anti Scottish propaganda? I’ve lived abroad for decades, came here to feel at home but the abject negativity, Scotland bad/ Scotland bashing/ SNP crooks is absolutely sickening. The plethora of spammy bots and Anglo propagandists is laughable.
