State Secret? Investigation Reveals First Minister & Scottish Government 'Have Much to Hide' Over ‘Dame’ Knighthood for ex-Lord Advocate Elish Angiolini

'Information likely to implicate Scottish Ministers & other figures in the Scottish Government involved in the awarding of ‘Dame’, the female equivalent of a “knighthood” to the Scotland’s former Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini DBE QC (nee McPhilomy), has been angrily withheld from Freedom of Information requests by Scottish Government Civil Servants, after leaks to the media suggested Scottish Ministers were involved “via the backdoor” in ensuring recommendations were made to London that the controversial former Lord Advocate received a knighthood for ‘her services’ to Scots law.

Almost instantaneously after receiving the honour Dame Elish Angiolini was swiftly taken on by the First Minister Alex Salmond as his Ministerial Complaints Adviser in a role seen by most as little more than an exercise to ensure Scottish Ministers are not found guilty of misconduct while in office.'

I don't recognise knighthoods. End of.

She'll always just be plain old Elish to me.

With a few choice adjectives of course.

Why would anyone vote for any politician who sucks upto and protects scumbags?
