The Peter Murrell case will still attract a lot of press interest, but now that he's left the SNP, and now that he's separated from Ms Sturgeon, and now that Ms Sturgeon is leaving the Scottish Parliament anyway, a firewall of sorts is in place and we're getting a lot closer to the point where we can look to the future for the independence cause without the constant dark whispers that the Branchform monster is going to turn up at any moment and destroy everything in sight. That's a good thing, not a bad thing.

Nicola Sturgeon cleared
Doubtless there's someone in Bath that will be devastated by this news, but most sensible people in the independence movement, both inside and outside the SNP, will be extremely relieved. None of us know exactly what has gone on, but the idea that anything good (from an independence point of view) would have come out of the former SNP leader being faced with prolonged legal action is obviously for the birds.

Excellent news for SNP leadership.
ReplyDeleteAll news is good news in Oceania. And we have always been at war with Eurasia.
DeleteGenuine question: up to now has Stuart Campbell EVER admitted a single specific mistake? Struggling to think of one.
ReplyDeleteIf only this was all about him.
DeleteThe trouble is, someone stole that £600k from the Yes movement and even worse she squandered a whole decade.
Where are we now? Languishing in the polls and tired of being lied to.
Indeed. And one of the people who has been lying to us is Stu Campbell.
DeleteAbout what? Make a list.
DeleteThe reverend has no comment to make.
DeleteIt is a matter of great regret to all of us in the Alba Party that Chris McEleny has chosen to personalise this.
ReplyDeletePoll after poll shows that McEleny is a mad dog who must be tamed.
ReplyDeleteAnnounced the week after Nicola said she is leaving formal politics? A coincidence? Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteWill be interested to see the actual charges against Peter, embezzlement covers a range of things from very serious to quite minor.
The only way that they can prove the money is actually missing from a going concern who has the liability on the books is to issue a section 30 and see if the SNP can muster the £600k. Well Mr Starmer, Are you feeling lucky?
I feel your pain IFS.
DeleteThe actual charge is embezzlement. He has actually been charged.
DeleteYes, but of what and of how much? Is it even pertinent to the original investigation? At this stage we know little and the defence may be robust and it all ends in an acquittal.
Delete
DeleteHand and shrimp
Where is the missing money. Is over £600k petty cash to you?
You don’t really understand any of this do you? Disappointed? Aw diddums.
Delete"Doubtless there's someone in Bath that will be devastated by this news" That'll be the wee Rev, the same wee guy Big Kezia Dugdale smashed to bits in court.
ReplyDeleteWee Revs and powerful woman must be the ultimate mismatches.
I blame his beard and his desire to wear a pinafore skirt - with pleats!!
DeleteI'm hoping the conspiracy theories on both sides can now end.
ReplyDeleteOne side has been claiming the whole affair has been a British stitch-up since the start designed to damage the cause of independence (if that was the case wouldn't Nicola Sturgeon's fate be left unknown until the Holyrood elections to cause the maximum amount of damage?).
Whilst the other side has been claiming that Sturgeon and her allies in the Scottish Government have the police in their back pocket and have used their influence to ensure that she will never be held accountable for her actions (Likely they'll now claim that Peter Murrell is the fall guy).
Murrell's trial will be the acid test for this. I've got my own thoughts on the matter but not for one second did I believe either Nicola Sturgeon or Colin Beattie would end up facing charges. I will be interested to hear what evidence us presented in a trial in Peter Murrell's case - if one actually does go ahead.
DeleteAfter Holyrood election I suppose we could hear that it is not in the national interest to continue….
DeleteWe need to be careful with regard to what is said on here to avoid anyone landing in trouble. All I will say on the matter is that I think that the decision by the PF yesterday not to prosecute either Nicola Sturgeon or Colin Beattie was a bit more than a bit significant in forming my own opinion how this will eventually end up.
DeleteShe stole £600,000 of ring-fenced funds from the party accounts.
DeleteShe told us on video that the money was still there and anyone saying otherwise was a liar.
She's guilty a Million times over.
Have you forgotten that she had an actual alphabetty in her cabinet and another being her chief of staff but denied knowing anything about them?
As I posted on the previous thread, it came as no great surprise to me that neither Sturgeon or Beattie have been charged with any crime/offence.
ReplyDeleteI would have anticipated that they would have been charged at the same time as Murrell, had the available evidence warranted it.
The fact that they were not, strongly suggested today's outcome was the most likely.
Murrell has been charged with a singular offence and it will be very informative to discover the exact amount of monies (or value of goods) actually involved.
Main thing is.......Branchform's shadow has now completely been removed from Swinney's SNP and, given that Murrell has now no longer anything to do with the Party, that particular line of attack for the Yoon Parties and their tame MSM has pretty much evaporated.
Of course, the Bath Balloon and his small band of demented followers will probably explode with the usual conspiracy crap they are so fond of, but to absolutely no avail outside their tiny putrid 'Hate Sturgeon' bubble.
The Branchform outcome will also give Sturgeon a relatively clean bill of health, if she wishes to play a prominent part in the run-up to next year's Election.
Interesting times ahead.
The Britnat hack pack will carry on with a "no smoke without fire" narrative. From their perspective, Sturgeon is still a dangerous enemy and casting suspicion on her is a powerful tool.
DeleteIf they did they would be in contempt of court.
DeleteLike the SNP was about Salmond—INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES—until his dying day, and even after?
DeleteOnwards and downwards with the Great Redactor
ReplyDeletePoor IFS - Cant say he was wrong over the former FM.
Deleteyip and SNP lead in the polls. " Things can only get better!"
DeleteThey’d better if you boys want to return to the glory days of 2021. You’re still way down.
DeleteSomething quite disturbing about the way Campbell is publicly monstering the prosecution authorities over their considered decision *not* to charge someone. This is a guy who would clearly prefer mob rule to the rule of law.
ReplyDeleteIs it much different than up until today people saying the prosecution authorities are entirely corrupt and being used by the British State for a political purpose?
DeleteIt’s only “whataboutery” when the other side is doing it. 😉
DeleteThe Scottish Police Service collected enough evidence to charge her but the woman that nicola murrell appointed as lord advocate decided not to prosecute.
DeleteWhat are you not understanding here?
Today marks a vindication of Nicola Sturgeon.
ReplyDeleteIt is great news for the SNP leadership.
Nicola can now walk with her head held high.
DeleteShe can now work effectively as an ambassador for the SNP on the world stage.
Using her excellent communication skills.
A cloud has now cleared from the SNP's leadership.
3.50, yes that's my hope too but it was always going to be difficult if Branchform had been left hanging over her forever. It's gone now. Do the book release, promote it all over TV etc, earn some money, have a rest then start engaging with the international community about recognition of a potential independent Scotland. That's a really positive outcome.
DeleteKeep an eye on her approval polling. I doubt she’s rising up again. Nicola’s as damaged goods as Salmond was (thanks to her) and Sir Keir (thanks to himself).
DeleteHer international reputation won't have been affected by Branchform at all. But domestically, she'll struggle to convince some people and the gender politics stuff has made her a polarizing figure.
DeleteNicola Sturgeon's sister says she '100% supports' Peter Murrell after court appearance.
ReplyDeleteGillian Sturgeon said she "always will" support her "brother in law" in a post on TikTok on Thursday afternoon.
She said her sister "is free from this mess" after the former first minister was cleared as part of Operation Branchform.
Gillian added that she "Can't wait" until her sister "leaves Holyrood for the last time".
It comes after Murrell appeared in court charged with embezzlement in connection with the police investigation into the SNP's finances.
Innocent until proven guily
DeleteGillian Sturgeon has been a very loyal sister to Nicola and sister in law to Peter.
DeleteHer comments deomonstrate the strength and resilience of the Sturgeon family.
That strength has served Nicola well when things were tough.
Hopefully it is all uphill from here on in and I trust Peter will receive the full support he needs.
Nicola Sturgeon has once again emerged triumphant. She has once more shown her resilience and integrity. Her strategic and communication skills have been demonstrated and her position vindicated. She has navigated scrutiny with composure.
ReplyDeleteHer ability to command trust is second to none. Same for her ability to articulate her position with precision.
This exoneration reaffirms her credibility and strength and repositions her as a political leader the like of which Scotland has never seen before and will never see again.
Stop with yer 'AI Pish', pal.
DeleteMakes you look like an incompetent Dummy.
Ta.
There's some pretty shite AI here, it look like an S1 project gone badly wrong.
DeleteDavid Francis: Nicola Sturgeon is completely in the clear.
DeleteJohn Swinney has praised her.
I don't need some very obvious 'AI Guff' to tell me that.
DeleteDavid:
DeleteNicola Sturgeon's exoneration points to her innocence.
She has shown resilience, has great strategic ability and unmatched communication skills.
A true leader and an asset for the SNP in the years ahead.
David Francis you sound the same as that AI guff.
Deletehaving consulted my T-leaves I know AS will be pleased. I know IFS will be beeling!
ReplyDeleteJust to remind everyone: "Contempt of court warning after Peter Murrell court appearance"
ReplyDeleteor sometime https://archive.is/wip/d8B5r
With Colin Beattie no longer under investigation, I suppose the pool of people responsible for removing 600,000 quid from a bank account controlled by the SNP gets smaller. Whether said removal is a criminal or civil matter remains to be seen and it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
ReplyDeleteI would doubt whether anything like that amount of money will form any part of the case againsf Murrell.
DeleteIf it had criminally 'disappeared' from the official accounts, the Treasurer would have been charged accordingly.
He wasn't, so very much looks like it didn't.
The Court case will shine some proper, evidence-led light on that process.
Whaf a half-wit in Bath thinks, is completely irrelevant.
anon- you missed out the word Allegedly.
DeleteAnon @ 5:32pm, there is nothing alleged about 600,000 quid being removed from a bank account controlled by the SNP. Straightforward mathematics tells us that it happened. The precise detail of what happened may (or may not) come out if the case against Peter Murrell goes to trial. However, I will not comment on that so as to avoid any risk of contempt of court.
DeleteHopefully we can get a full apology from IFS for the abuse he gave sturgeon over this case.
ReplyDeleteIf you can pull it out your hole, Declan, it’s all yours.
DeleteNicola Sturgeon deserves credit for the way she has conducted herself in all of this. She is an amazing person. She deserves praise for all she has done. She has done nothing wrong.
ReplyDeleteWho said what amount? Speculation.
ReplyDeleteWonder how many wee 'Niki-Haters' on here will have the backbone to admit they were wrong about her implied criminality and now post retractions and apologies?
ReplyDeleteNot many, I would guess.................
Lol.
ReplyDeleteJust read the latest temper tantrum from Wanks over Scotland.
Campbell has completely exploded and rolled-out the good old 'Banana Republic/North Korea' tropes about Scotland 😂😂😂
Hilarious to watch that wee wean in full flight.......
Aye and he has links on his blog from the Daily Heil. If you support WoS you support a british nationalist and unionists.
DeleteNothing to see here, move along.
ReplyDeleteA lot of wives don't know what their husbands are up to.
Also, just because you are in charge of something and a control freak micromanager, does not mean you know everything that is going on, especially to do with money.
Poor Nikki is such a scatterbrain, I mean at that enquiry it was quite clear the poor lass couldn't maintain a diary. Bless. Her personal assistant has to do her credit cards for her, and the direct debits.
Anyway, time to move on and concentrate on the real issues facing Scotland - book deals and comedy festivals.
- and that Alex Salmond, I still don't buy it, no smoke without fire, I mean it's not like a gang of women to ever get together and tell lies for personal gain.
And you think both Police Scotland and COPFS spent all those years investigating and assessing with that attitude?
DeleteI suggest you button it and start living in the real World where neither Sturgeon or Beattie are 'guilty' of anything - or, alternatively, just order a new snorkel so you can breathe way down in yer own wee conspiracy rabbit-hole which you seem to share with that non-entity in Bath.
I wouldnt bother with these people.
DeleteThey are the Scottish equivalent of MAGA voters.....y'know...Trumps ding-a-lings.
Anon - “A lot of wives don't know what their husbands are up to”. I’m sure with ex PM Johnson they probably have a suspicion.
DeleteMurdo the misogynist there @ 5-49pm
ReplyDeleteOn a personal level, I’m happy for NS.
ReplyDeleteBeyond simply not standing for HR next time, she should take this as her best available full exit opportunity from Scottish politics.
She'll linger around like a bad smell yet. Any progress we make towards independence, she'll be there for the British media to put a negative spin on it. Besides, she needs an income beyond that book of hers. The state pays for one point of view, not the other.
DeleteI think the smell eminates closer to yourself.
DeleteIn or around his mouth possibly?
DeleteSTV still desperate to make some mud stick so they throw some more.
ReplyDeletePathetic.
... and not to be outdone ... BBC issue their very own edited highlights.
DeleteFlags at Pacific Quay currently at half past.
DeleteA sad day for Wings, IfS, Peter A. Bell, Kevin McKenna. Bawheid Boy, Grousebeater.....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure ALBA had a few more supporters? Didn't Regan say it was because of her the ex FM resigned? Does Regan have the capacity to remove her foot from her mouth.
DeleteSo do we agree the huge Police Scotland tent in the garden, the press warned beforehand, tv cameras primed for the news bulletin that this was in the interest of justice or something else?
ReplyDeleteI hope the British authorities choose their next target more wisely and prepare the ground properly by constructing the necessary evidence. A very shoddy performance by the United Kingdom. Maybe they should practise on a lower profile person next time to hone their skills. Plaid Cymru had better watch out in case their vote share increases dramatically.
ReplyDeleteI suggest Nigels pals update their plans pronto!
DeletePolice Scotland to charge itself with wasting police time ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe charge the Great British authorities with forcing them to waste police time.
DeleteWas never in doubt.
ReplyDeleteFucking disgrace. I hope she goes after Police Scotland.
Sturgeon I’m not a crook just a daftie.
ReplyDeleteBeattie I’m not a crook just a daftie.
Anon 7.02 - "I'm just a daftie".
Delete7.34pm are you Nicola or Colin? I know you are both dafties but you could at least say which one you are.
Delete746- I am Ifs, no! I am IFS, Your all wrong and IFS and I stay in Giffnock not baurheid!
DeleteSome folk are not taking this at all well 😁😁😁
ReplyDeleteBack from your crypt David. It was nice without you on SGP.
DeleteNot a word of apology over the last 4 years to the people who donated the missing money from Sturgeon, Swinney, Beattie or any of the SNP leadership. Incredible how some people think it is a success that Murrell is being charged.
ReplyDeleteOkay Stu
DeleteWell 7.31pm is it a success story that the ex Chief Exec of the SNP is being prosecuted for embezzlement of monies donated for IR2. And no I am not Stu. Stop your pointless deflecting.
DeleteI donated and I am ok with the SNP to act on the donation as they see fit.
DeleteSure you're not Stu 😉
Delete9.44pm sure you are not a balloon. So you cannot say if Murrell being prosecuted is a success story for the SNP. What a balloon you are.
Delete8.31pm it does not matter what you think. Raising money on false pretences is neither a good thing or legal it’s normally called a scam. If you enjoy being scammed then good for you.
DeleteAnon8:31, I also donated to a 'ring fenced' referendum fund and NOT to the Murrell Motorhome Fund. What makes your acceptance of the misuse of funds any more relevant than my annoyance at it?
DeleteI may as well post this here, with a slight addition.
ReplyDeleteCOPFS spokesperson:
“Where allegations are made against people or institutions in which the public have placed trust, it is the responsibility of the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to determine if there is evidence that criminal conduct has occurred.
We understand public curiosity about this investigation. However, the Crown does not publicly share details of confidential inquiries where there are no proceedings in court. This protects the rights of the individuals concerned who are entitled to a presumption of innocence.”
Nicola Sturgeon was the FM of Scotland – the foremost politician of Scotland at the time. She was / is also very well-known internationally.
To spend £2.3 million of public money to have this as the outcome:
“The 73-year-old man arrested on April 18, 2023 and the 54-year-old woman arrested on June 11, 2023 have not been charged and are no longer under investigation“
is worth every single penny, every brown cent, whatever your party or stance on Independence, or like or dislike of Sturgeon, to remove the shadow over Scotland’s devolved Parliament which many of us fought for.
So who stole the £620,000 from our fundraiser then?
Deletenoone.
DeleteAnon at 7.48. You are in the running for idiot of the year and it’s only March. Well done.
DeleteYIR2. Pretentious tosh to justify misuse of power and public funds.
Delete8.31pm where is it then?
DeleteHome rule for Somerset 😉
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks this attempt to destroy N S and SNP was not a unionist conspiracy is naive or plain stupid. And almost certainly a unionist himself. And it is men. IFS. Get on here and apologise. The mouth frothers will be raging, as will the usual suspects on here. I told you this weeks ago. Gullible useful fools.
ReplyDeleteIfS is busy removing the egg on his face.
DeleteSo you think Murrell embezzled money to destroy his wife and the SNP and was secretly working for the security services. High tide mark as conspiracy theories go - well done. Did Elvis get a share of the dosh?
Deletethe unionist agent has been protected
Deletethe patsy takes one for the team
if he sings like a canary or tries to become a novelist, he will get very sad and take a lot of pills, or have a heart attack, common in a man of his age
are you on illegal substances for this guff anon 812
DeleteAnon at 7.55. What are you talking about? Are you completely stupid? You just made up an allegation and attributed it to me. What a cretin you are. I suspect you are one of the long term trolls on here.
DeleteWhat I think happened is Peter says to Nikki : don't you look in my secret folder titled "dodgy money stuff and nice pics" and she wouldn't dare because she is an obedient wife and fears physical abuse.
ReplyDelete- and so what could she do?
Anon at 8.12 ... you're a bit weird.
DeleteIn other news, Swinney's masterful ruse as the boring, dull as ditchwater, committee-man and eternal second banana - is to be ripped to shreds.
ReplyDeleteSwinney says "initiate plan B"
- activists should decode their USBs with the numbers cipher sent in burst mode on 3773 megacycles.
Kill lists and bomb making instructions should be used at discretion and opportunity.
- free fire zone. All officials, collaborationists, devolutionists, middle class bourgeois intellectuals and reactionary forces to be liquidated with extreme prejudice - in practice this means the entirety of Edinburgh to be purged apart from Leith and Wester Hailes.
God be with us, in this new covenant, towards a glorious dawn.
Anon@ 8-13pm
DeleteA group of individuals wishing to collaborate
" collaborationists"......WRONG
A group of individuals wishing to collaborate
" collaborators" ...........CORRECT
(asshole).
1. For the avoidance of doubt - there is an 'allegation' that certain monies received for Indyref2 have been misused/embezzled from SNP accounts.
ReplyDeleteUntil the conclusion of Murrell's Court case, that is what it will remain...an allegation.
No matter what a cretin in Bath says.
2. Given the Police Sotland have had full access to all SNP accounts for around 4 years and have, undoubtedly, used the services of forensic accountants to trawl through every entry and withdrawal, if Murrell has then been charged with embezzling a sum very substantially less that the £660,000 being banded about, then that amount has not 'disappeared'.
3. ONLY the Court will decide if there has been any criminality involved and, if so, how much money was involved - and I would seriously doubt that it will amount to anything like the sum being repeatedly quoted.
So, all the wee mouth-frothers in Bath and elsewhere who are flinging ANY figure around at the moment, are simply giving their (un)biased opinions, nothing else.
At this stage even the media doesn't know what exactly the charge of embezzlement is about. The investigation was expanded from the original complaint about £667,000 into
Delete"allegations of embezzlement, signature forgery, and misreporting of loans made to the party to the Electoral Commission." (wiki)
Anything at all is just speculation.
Yep.
DeleteIt is solely up to the Court to decide everything, now.
What a waste of space. Did you think that up all be yourself? How sad.
ReplyDeleteI didn't donate anything but I want my money back. Please send to local polis station, bath, engerlandy
DeleteWhich bit was wrong, Dummy?
DeleteNicola Sturgeon is popular in Scotland
ReplyDelete*Widely respected for her leadership as First Minister.
*Seen as a strong advocate for progressive policies.
*Maintained high approval ratings for all of her tenure.
She has a positive role in the SNP after retirement:
*Continues to influence Scottish politics.
*Serves as an inspiration and mentor for new SNP leaders and members.
*Recognized for her contributions to policies on healthcare, education and social justice.
*Advocates for progressive causes like net zero and LGBTQ + even outside of formal political office.
Many Scots admire her.
Remembered for her strong leadership during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Still a respected figure within the SNP and broader Scottish society.
We shall not see her like again.
Plenty of kool-aid sloshing about tonight!
ReplyDeleteLucky you
DeleteNicola Sturgeon's book will provide her with an opportunity to reconnect with Scottish people.
ReplyDeleteShe comes from an ordinary background and Scottish people love her.
She is a massive asset to the SNP which the SNP can leverage.
The publicity tour for the book will see her go round the country and be invited onto TV.
DeleteThis can only be good for the SNP.

ReplyDeleteZzzzzzzzzzz
Delete8.11am your post is the most stupid waste of space comment by anyone ever on SGP and that makes you a complete dick.
DeleteHas that anonymous troll been posting on SGP to say he was wrong to say that nobody would be prosecuted regarding
ReplyDeletebranchform. Hard to identify the lying culprit as he is just anonymous like so many others on SGP.
See below silly billy. And quote accurately. Otherwise you come across as a bit of a liar and a fantasist, which of course you are.
DeleteThe lying culprit has woken up from his drunken stupor @5.31am.
DeleteYou said it was all finished and there would never be any prosecutions. Now you say “successful prosecutions”. Liar liar pants on fire. You were wrong but are too small to admit it.
I am so annoyed I really really wanted Nicola to go on trial to prove once and for all time she is a really really good person. I really really mean that. How will she get the top international job she deserves without proving by trial she is innocent of everything. Nicola was not responsible for the Lockerbie bombing either. You must believe she is in the clear. Really you must. I like that David Francis as well. Really I do. I really like the word really you know.
ReplyDeletePeter
There will be no successful prosecution was the statement made by me. Shown to be right for two out of the three people involved today, which means you were shown to be wrong for those two people. Read up on cognitive dissonance you silly billy. The eventual verdict in the face saving “prosecution” of Murrell will in due course make it three out of three. In the meantime where is your apology to N S for the false accusations you and your fellow SNP Baaaad muppets made against her? Your anon reference also flags you up as either one of IFSs other names or one of his wee helpers. Which is it? And remember the apology. Nicola is waiting.
DeleteYou said it was all finished. You said there are no prosecutions. You said there will never be any prosecutions. You are NOW adding the word successful before the word prosecution. You are a liar just like Sturgeon.
Delete5.03am you posted your reply in the wrong place and you call others silly billy. Drink less, go to bed earlier and get more sleep.
DeleteJust heard the tale end of BBC’s Scotcast discussing Branchform. Incredibly two basic mistakes in such a short time period. A woman says Peter Murrell was the SNP Treasurer and the other man says Nicola will
ReplyDeletedefinitely no longer be involved in Branchform. Murrell was Chief Executive of the SNP and Nicola may be called as a witness in a possible Murrell trial.
Hilarious to watch the sad procession of Anon Nonentities and my own doppelganger-dummies on here, all lining up to cry their wee eyes out because the Sturgeon decision has just shat on them from a great height and there is absolutely f#ck all they can do about it.
ReplyDeleteAs Alba sinks without trace and WoS gradually morphs into a totally irrelevant Trump/Farage lovefest, I REALLY pity those poor, wee scumbags.
I really do.
Honest.
Your articulate and inoffensive comments have been sorely missed David. As ever you conveniently ignore inconvenient facts.
DeleteWhere is the missing money David ? Money disappeared when Sturgeon was Leader. She bears this responsibility. Even more so when her husband was Chief Executive at the time. Have the Police stated they have found the money - no! But they have found a motor home on Sturgeon’s mother in law driveway.
I agree Dave. Why can't all these anons use their own names like we do? Thank goodness you're prepared to put your real name to the pish you post on a regular basis.😉
DeleteGood points well made. As they say at sea 'Well made is well said', and so say all of us. Or is it the other way round? Or vice versa? Oh god I'm losing my mind. Send for Batman.
DeleteAnd there you go, right on cue 😁
ReplyDeleteNite folks.
Great spin James, can see you are trying to get back on the SNP grift gravy bus.. Of course you'll detlete this but we all see you for what you are.
ReplyDeleteFrancis! "Just to say, my wife, our son and myself are all gonna buy Wee Nic's book."
ReplyDeleteNice to see you are rekindled the vinegar stroke after that shocker of Nicola in her new jeans.
Where is IFS? Where is the apology and retraction? I hope all the egg hasn’t set. Could be messy and really painful getting it off.
ReplyDeleteOver 150 comments, not one under the IFS I D. Is this a record? Should we be worried?
ReplyDeleteIFS disappears and David Francis reappears. Is Francis really IFS?
DeleteThe rev over on WOS claiming that he has reliable reports that N S turned her chair and faced a wall during her seven hour police interview and didn’t say a single word. The mouth frothers will actually believe him. And send him money.
ReplyDeleteWell that is so obviously a lie. Nicola would say I don’t recall to every question eg Is Peter Murrell your husband? I don’t recall she would reply.
DeleteDo you ever visit your 94 year old mother in law at her house in Dunfermline? I don’t recall she would reply?
Did your Chief Exec and husband tell you he had purchased a luxury motor home? I don’t recall she would reply.
Did you appoint the current Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain to her position in charge of prosecutions? I don’t recall she would reply.
Do you recall anything Ms Sturgeon? I know you are using the wrong pronouns!
The reverend is taking his medication.
DeletePeter Murrell has been prevailed upon to "take one for the team", the understanding being his punishment will be mild.
ReplyDeleteEveryone else involved escapes, clean. He is like the fraud equivalent of a "lone gunman", acting alone, without any wider connections.
So, we just have to believe hubby was on the fiddle and nikki knew nothing, because she is an incurious type who doesn't stick her nose into what doesn't concern her, like the finances of the party she was leading.
The only interesting thing that could happen (and it won't because they will make sure they have a friendly judge) is if he found himself getting punished far more severely than envisaged, then he might make some speeches, singing like a canary on the witness stand, or if convicted, trying his hand at - writing books. Or maybe he will get sad and take a lot of pills or have a heart attack, common in a man of his age.
"Or maybe he will get sad and take a lot of pills or have a heart attack, common in a man of his age."
ReplyDeleteOr maybe some random passer-by will kick out yer front teeth and improve your looks, pal.
Common occurrence for Tossers like you.
Have a nice weekend.
Francis you are consistently a poor excuse for a human being. I pity anyone who comes into occasional contact with you never mind on a regular basis.
Delete"Nicola Sturgeon cleared"
ReplyDeleteNot so.
She wasn't charged "following direction from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service", therefore she wasn't tried and so the smell remains.
Utter garbage.
DeleteThe reason Sturgeon was not put in front of a Court, was because - after 4 years of digging and sifting through every single scrap of evidence - the authorities found NO wrongdoing or alleged criminality to even proffer a single charge against her.
Therefore, she remains 100% innocent and, as far as she is concerned, there is no longer any 'case' to answer.
What idiots like you and that moron in Bath 'think' is a matter of absolutely no consequence.
You simply do not matter.
And the only 'smell' remaining, is from the complete shite you keep spewing about a certain Ex-First-Minister who seems to live inside yer wee heid, rent free.
She wasn't charged "following direction from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service", therefore she wasn't tried and so the smell remains.

DeleteThe submission of a report to COPFS 8 months ago very strongly suggests that they believed there was an actionable case against Sturgeon (and Beattie).
If they didn't think there was a case they wouldn't have submitted a report to COPFS. They would just have closed the case and concluded their investigation.
If not then the decent things for COPFS to have done was to announce that right away rather than keep them hanging on.
Sorry to burst your balloon, you balloon.
Dave, you should have just left your post after the first two words. Sums up your contribution to the topic beautifully.
DeleteWrong, you Tit.
DeleteIt is not the job of the Police in Scotland to decide if there is sufficient evidence to criminally prosecute a suspect.
That is entirely down to COPFS.
The Police merely report the facts they gather to the Prosecutors and from there on, the decision rests with them - as does the time taken (within legal limits) to conclude whether or not to proceed with or drop the case.
That is the system of justice we have in Scotland, with very clear demarcation lines between Police and Prosecutors.
Whether you like or accept that system, is totally irrelevant, pal.
Next time, stick to something you actually know about.
Ta much
Fuddy Franny, you're not telling me anything I don't know. Of course the COPFS decide - that's the process.
DeleteBut, dipstick, the police wouldn't have bothered with a report if they didn't think there was a case to answer.
But your head's stuck too far up Sturgeon's backside to figure that out.
I guess that's why you're such a gobshite.
Lol.
DeleteJust admit it Dummy........your wee rattles are getting chucked out her wee pram and yer wee eyes are greetin because you didn't get the outcome you wanted.
Guess what, pal...........that's life.
Now - dry yer eyes and Fuck Off.
Thanks awfully.
Oh look!
DeleteShithead's coming back out for air again.
Looks like you'll always be under her smell.
Mirror time, ya wee Anon-Tit
DeleteSo Nicola is and always has been innocent. Would be nice for ifs to admit he.she/ it was wrong
DeleteIfS is waiting for the nod from Campbell.
DeleteNot everyone who is being investigated for fraud has appointed the person who is in charge of COPFS and reports to their pal who just happens to be Swinney.
DeleteIFS has never been right, another one of Wingsy's vote for the nobodies and there'll be a revolution
Delete@DF.
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone's touched a nerve.
Francis my dear, I couldn't give a damn.
Looks like the Sturgeon-haters have egg all over their face.
ReplyDeleteThe Grand Mufti of Bath seems to have led them up the garden-path.......... again! lol
Seems there has been a large overflow of human effluent from a certain Bath-ist Site onto this blog.
ReplyDeleteTime to disinfect with some strong bleach?
Yeh....we can borrow some of Donalds anti-Covid bleach...that worked tremendously and hugely.............
Deleteand bigly.
Lol.
DeleteThat lot probably hang on the Orange Balloon's every word.......
Breaking : Murrell was talking to a journalist just there, said - "I'm just the patsy ... "
ReplyDelete- then was run over by an asylum seeker driving a camper van and shouting about allyoucan eat snackbar
Police Scotland are investigating any witnesses to this as they may start to propagate far right hate conspiracy theories.
BTW there is 20% off discount on Just Eat for the snackbar, before 5pm, no multiple orders
Wingnuts and Albaists have one thing in common - complete and utter irrelevance.
ReplyDeleteThey simply do not matter.
Not one solitary f#ck.
Satisfying to remember, as they continue their frenzied responses to the Sturgeon news today.
Just sit back and laugh at them.
I certainly do.
Have a great weekend, folks.
I think you should deadname "David Francis".
DeleteDickhead Fanny would be much more apt.
