Alex Salmond’s duty of care – to tell the truth

Alex Salmond insists that MSPs have a duty of care to their constituents? Since when? Duty of care is a legal term for having specific responsibilities to ensure safety from harm through, just for example, negligence.
However, the law is not a harmful process which people need to be protected from. Quite the opposite. If MSPs have an over-riding duty of care it is to their law-abiding constituents who need protection from dedicated fraudsters and criminals like Ms Sturgeon’s crooked new friend, Mr Rauf.
Obviously, the First Minister would never resort to falsifying the position to help even a beleagured colleague. However, this one requires his full and unequivocal explanation.
