It has been revealed today that Levy McRae, acting for the Sheriff, sent letters to one of the publications which recently reported on the Hollie Greig case, the “UK Column”, informing the newspaper’s editors ….[Emphasis added] and I don’t agree with your interpretation.<br /><br />The letter in question begins “Dear Sirs ELISH ANGIOLINI QC We act on behalf of Elish Angiolini QC, the Lord Advocate for Scotland.” <br /><br />After summarising the terms of the injunction granted against Robert Green which prevents anyone making defamatory statements against Graeme Buchanan the letter goes on to say that the UK Column website: “contains defamatory material of our client and Graeme Buchanan.” [Emphasis added]<br /><br />The Levy McRae reference to the letter is PW/CA/AN/ANG009/1; all of which suggests to me that the letter from Peter Watson was one written when he was acting for Elish Angiolini, and not “acting for the Sheriff” as your commentary indicates.<br /><br />If, however you are correct in your understanding of whom Peter Watson was acting for, he must be doing an inordinate amount of “name dropping” or perhaps “sabre rattling” to use the name of our Lord Advocate so often.<br /><br />Are you sure this letter is genuine? It contains one glaring error in the penultimate paragraph where it repeats the words “in question”. This is not a dodgy dossier is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20855066.post-14540189676189866642010-02-18T13:50:15.183+00:002010-02-18T13:50:15.183+00:00wonder what Emslie thought about it all ? cant he ...wonder what Emslie thought about it all ? cant he spell either ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20855066.post-83248064580863283072010-02-17T22:47:41.674+00:002010-02-17T22:47:41.674+00:00If someone covers up ,are they also involved???

Not so. Sometimes these interviews are for the purpose of finding out what the allegations are, the better to cover it up.<br /><br />No, it won't, for one of two reasons. Either the interviewing police are in on it, or they will get orders from above to backpedal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20855066.post-84961893015120740182010-02-16T20:00:59.559+00:002010-02-16T20:00:59.559+00:00appropriate to this story I feel :
