is she doing the book tour in the camper van?

On Laura Kussenberg tomorrow morning.
Typical wee Jimmy. Does her tell all story in London on the BBC. |
|
By:
I gather she's playing the misogynist card, one or two of the lads on here will buy that.

It just gets better and better after years of being the big bold leader for scottish Indie
Nicola Sturgeon quits Scotland...to live in England  u cannot make it up |

Wont be too many Visits for Pete

She has always been a total charlatan but she created a cult of personality which a lot of people bought in to (including several posters on here who are very much absent now).
It's a shame Salmond isn't here to put the boot in to them now given what they did to him. I never agreed with his politics but he was always a far better person than Wee Krankie and sneaky Pete. He also did better in the elections but all the sychophants sided with her and wheesh'd for indie when she knifed him in the back. Karma. |

killer question
have you even eaten pizza express in a camper van |
|
By:
Have you been self medicating to help yourself get through this difficult period for "Saint Nick" xmoney?
|

By:
Another kick in the teeth for the MSM. None of the main media outlets in Scotland wanted to touch any of this in 2021. Well done to those who started to ask questions.

Swinney is very much against a public inquiry, there
must be more undiscovered corruption imo. |
|
By:
Or maybe the cost of an inquiry? Scottish inquiries costs,hospitals £30 million,Child abuse £100 million, Covid £50 million. Waste of money.
|
|
By:
Unless of course Westminster funds it?
|
|
By:
Yes, that's the line you'd expect to hear from the leftists.
I don't believe them, Swinney and Pete grew up together, very close. |
|
By:
I think rather than leftists you could call them pragmatists.
If you think throwing many millions at this in the current climate is sensible,well.... |
|
By:
I think anyone who entered a lavender marriage in 2010 is suspect.
It wasn't the 60s, why did they want to fool the public, pragmatism? |
|
By:
Is that the reason for spending millions in the public inquiry you are calling for?
Do you think the money from a non inquiry could be spent better. |
|
By:
If I was a SNPer with something to hide I would certainly agree with you, absolutely.

No suprise to see our Irish 'friends' continuing with the 'nothing to see here' as he they did throughout Wee Jimmy's stint in power.
|

Not allowed to say quare now.

For the record, the Irish and political establishment were all over Sturgeon the times she came over to see us. Support for her was basically the usual anti English stuff. They've suddenly gone quiet on all that. They'd want to concentrate on the continuing corruption at home than worry themselves abut what is going on in Scotland.
|

By:
'Support for her was basically the usual anti English stuff.'
It would be, they'll never lose the chip. And the EU shills are trying to pretend that Eire isn't sinking under immigrants with the rest of the doomed Empire |

By:
*Lapsy. Bloody Sunday, IRA men who got shot....Must cost a few bob. If there has been an injustice and the investigation appeared a bit biased, then perhaps an inquiry is necessary. Here there has to be a strong suspicion that Murrell has been enabled by others who may get away with it as they are 'too big to fail'. The influence and connections the SNP leadership had with Police Scotland may be a factor.

We are talking about £400k spent on campervans and coffee machines and the fella is doing time rightly so. Trump and his family probably embezzling that equivalent every hour of every day
|
|
By:
That post didn't last long.
Is it the 'crime' or independence that the real furore is about here? |
|
By:
I see that there is real anger on social media, arch Scots nationalists supporting Sturgeon. Is it not because they know in their heart of hearts this will nip SNP support, making the already very slim chance of independence even more of a pipedream.
|
|
By:
SNP could easily be kingmakers after the next GE and force a referendum as part of the deal. Chances of independence not to be sniffed at (personal circumstances for most will almost inevitably slide even further because of huge inequality, personal debt and government debt), although I hope not.

Westminster and the wider UK media have enough to be getting going on. Former First Minister Jack McConnell now asking for a joint Westminster/Holyrood inquiry. A standalone Holyrood inquiry might be seen as presiding over a "cover up", while a Westminster one might be perceived as carrying out "a hatchet job" on the SNP.
McConnell said a joint probe should look into whether the relationship between Scotland's prosecution service – the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) – and politicians in the Scottish government had become too close. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y0n73n1dgo This story won't be allowed to whither on any vine. |

Yes I hear there is a lot of corruption over in Africa as well so surely that's good enough reason for us to completely ignore what is happening in Scotland. |

I saw the interview of one of the krankies by kuenssberg. She swore total oblivion to the whole thing including the gifts; the motorhome was allegedly parked partially out-of-sight in her estranged husband's parents home.
I find this astounding. In spite of there were numerous gifts of value from her estranged husband she professed utter ignorance. Maybe a politician's version of the truth. |

... Needs putting into propective, 400k of party funds compared to 10.9 Billion trousered during covid.!

Aye, might as well let him off and forget it then

John Swinney reported to cops by Indy activist who ‘brought down Murrell’ Dear Me
 |
|
By:
Perhaps one of the hair driers were for John ?
|
|
By:
Basically the ring fenced 600k plus that people donated specifically for the purpose of fighting another referendum has been frittered away on whatever the SNP felt like because they were short on cash at previous elections.
No wonder Honest John doesn't want an enquiry. |
|
By:
There is a lot more to this than the 400k, that's a certainty.
|
|
By:
... Needs putting into propective, 400k of party funds compared to 10.9 Billion trousered during covid.!
400k that we know about. Highly likely to be a lot more. |
|
By:
Krankie gave a 7 hour 'no comment' interview.
The Police wanted to charge Krankie, but the CPS wouldn't authorise charges. Krankie and the SNP treasurer, Beattie, refused to give police witness statements against Murrell, despite both throwing Murrell under the bus in public statements. Lots more to come imo. |
|
By:
When the full inquiry goes ahead, I'd imagine she'd want to be further away than London!
