Book Review: Gregor Gall, Tommy Sheridan – From Hero to Zero? Welsh Academic Press, 376 pps, £25, By Charlie Cook

Gall’s core argument that Sheridan was the sole author of his downfall as justice took its course is disingenuous. 22 Suing The News of the World was indeed a serious misjudgement but SSP member Duncan Rowan gave the paper the Katrine Trolle story, the SSP EC secured its ‘confession’ by unsavoury means, an unknown SSP member leaked it to the press and a known SSP leader handed it to the court. SSP member George McNeilage made and sold the entrapment tape, SSP member Alan McCombes gave The Herald his secret affidavit and SSP member Barbara Scott went to the police. Over twenty SSP members testified for Digger and Crown alike. 23
In short, though many sought the conviction, SSP members secured it. They didn’t have to, they chose to. The pertinent question is why. With Diggerati now facing their own trials, the story needs to be told properly.
Gall doesn’t even begin.
