SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
1 Attachment(s)
This is long overdue its own topic; to be fair to the independence cause (and I suppose we have to), independence ≠ the SNP and vice versa, so the hatchet job Mr & Mrs Murrell have done on the SNP doesn’t directly address the question ‘will Scotland leave the UK?’
Having said all of that, I may get this framed: https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1686491532 |

Only taken nearly 2 years of investigation.

Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
I literally just created this thread so there was a place to discuss the specific issue of Sturgeon and friends getting arrested *without* it getting conflated with the question of Scottish independence, for which we have a well established topic elsewhere in the current affairs section.
*Please* at least try to stick to the topic. |

Released without charge.

It would have been something momentous had they charged her with anything today. Rotten timing for wee Humza though, all evidence of his big set-piece sit-down with Laura K. has been wiped from the news agenda at a stroke. :rofl:

Good news for Johnson though. Who’d have thought a former Prime Minister resigning as an MP in disgrace and a former First Minister arrested on the same weekend. I might frame both given how unlikely such a set of circumstances must be.
Would be interesting to know if such a similar trend of events has happened anywhere in the world over a single weekend in equivalent federal structures. |

The thought of wee Krankie being clapped in irons is rather satisfying. :D

Nothing will happen to her.

Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
If only she’d eaten a cake, there’s no coming back from that kind of crime.
She’ll probably get away with massive fraud |

It’s worth pointing out that you can’t be arrested for questioning unless the police have reasonable suspicion that you may have committed an arrestable offence. Arresting her wasn’t some procedural nicety, it was deliberately more serious than asking someone to assist voluntarily. Don’t be taken in by the spin Nippy’s press release has tried to put on this - all this talk of her voluntarily attending a police station at a pre-agreed time is designed to draw your attention from the legally significant fact that she was put under arrest when she got there.

Murrell has finally appeared in court for a bail hearing with regard to his embezzlement charge, almost a year later.
And Polis Scotland have - finally - admitted they’re no longer investigating Wee Nicola, or the former SNP party treasurer, Colin Beattie, over these matters. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y2z4qq6zzo Something about this stinks to high heaven - how it can take almost a year from charge to a bail hearing says nothing good about the way justice is handled in Scotland. And the fact that yet another aspect of the Scottish public sector can’t get its act together slightly reduces my level of sympathy for Nicola Sturgeon, who has been kept hanging on seemingly by the same institutional incompetence. Obviously if she is not being charged with anything she - and we - should have been told about it a long time before now. But hey, she and her gang have run the ship aground whilst they were busy with their usual obsessions instead of keeping watch, so :shrug: |

He gave the party a £107,620 loan. Did she not ask where he got the money from? Did she not ask where the £600,000 went to? |
Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
All good questions, but questions we will not get satisfactory answers to now. Some of it will doubtless come out in court when Murrell finally goes on trial. My suspicion is that he has agreed to fall on his own sword for her and will state under oath exactly those things - that he did it in such a way as to shield his party leader (and wife) from blame.
On reflection, there was never much chance of Nicola falling on any swords. She’s just not that sort of person. |
Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
It’s also worth adding that Sturgeon is lying when she says “there was never a scrap of evidence against me.” A file was sent to the Crown Office (the Scottish CPS), which in procedural terms only happens when there is sufficient evidence to do so. Police send off the file, someone else then decides if there is *enough* evidence for a charge.
So, yes, Nicola, there was in fact a whole dossier of evidence against you. Not enough for you to end up in court, but let’s not pretend there was never a reasonable suspicion that you were up to no good. |

Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
If my husband/partner of decades had been accused of embezzling money from the political party I’d dedicated almost my entire adult life to I’d probably not hang around a Glasgow comedy festival and probably be quite visibly angry about it.

Re: SNP: Two Murrells, one motorhome and a shed-load of missing cash
It’s also worth remembering that when Alex Salmond was acquitted, Sturgeon fulminated that just because a jury decided his actions did not amount to criminality, it didn’t mean that he didn’t do the things he’d been accused of. Ironic, really, that she’s demanding a level of understanding that she refused to give her old boss.

Also the complete mishandling of the internal investigation cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of pounds in the process. Her angry wee video telling everyone to stop asking about money should be played in televised obituaries to her. |
