If Wings Over Scotland closes tonight and doesn't come back, speculation will increase that the Hate Crime Act was designed to target him.
If that sounds wildly unrealistic and smacks of conspiracy, so be it. But there is a precedent.
With the benefit of hindsight we can now see that the harassment claims process instigated by the Scottish Government, allowing (nay, encouraging) retrospective accusations of inappropriate behaviour against former ministers was designed to 'Get Salmond'.
Many of us were late to accepting the true nature of the people running Scotland's government and civil service. Some still refuse to accept the awful truth. The tweet below, posted by Wings well over a year ago, passed us by at the time, possibly because we couldn't/wouldn't process the implications.

This week we saw the tweet retweeted with the following response:

That tweet, in turn, was responding to this thread by Andy McColl:

Another unpleasant truth is that the mainstream media in Scotland is not going to treat us all to a Scooby-Doo-type resolution where a mask is whipped off and the dastardly mastermind is uncovered. Had they any interest in doing so they had the opportunity when Lady Dorrian imposed her gagging order on anything liable to compromise the anonymity of the so-called 'Alphabetties'. Craig Murray's conviction and imprisonment acted as a further warning, just to be sure that editors and broadcasters got the message.
But the establishment of the truth doesn't rely upon sensational revelations. It's more to do with the nailing of details, many of which have been in the public domain for years and cannot be concealed. It also requires dealing with conspicuous gaps, omissions, inexplicable spaces. Why, for example, were there no major 'Yes' gatherings/marches in those final months leading up to the referendum? How can it be that Peter Murrell has vanished off the face of the earth? Are journalists (i.e. 'real' journalists as defined by Dorrian) forbidden to raise such questions?
The truth is staring us in the face, and even if we are forbidden from stating what we can see, that doesn't make it any less true. The picture is almost complete. And when it is, no amount of protection for The Murrells, Alphabetties and their powerful backers will be able to conceal the gravity of their crimes against the Scottish people.
