BFTD Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 No unexplained bodies, then. I don't think they let you out for that. Slightly concerned that we'll never find out what they were digging around for now. Presumably the polis don't routinely do a spot of gardening when they turn up to investigate financial crimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My membership cost £12 a year when I joined. Think you may be confused with the £5 a year senior membership fee.

coprolite Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 3 hours ago, strichener said: Ehm, no. It was stated on the donation website that the money would be ringfenced for an Indy2 campaign. You cannot spend ringfenced money on something else on the assumption that you can make good the funds later. When you lose 1/3 of your membership then it becomes unlikely that your budget will stretch to coving your ongoing costs, never mind putting back the spent ringfenced funds. That's a fairly reasonable understanding of what you'd expect from "ring fencing" but it's not the only possible interpretation because that phrase isn't a "very specific term". Given how obvious it is that a crime has been committed in full public view i'm amazed the prosecution has taken this long.

Theroadlesstravelled Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Murrell always looks ill to the point a bout of the sniffles would finish him off. Speccy, bald, fat with a vampire skin complexion must get Sturgeon soaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The whole thing is a ruse. It's a cover story to hide the fact that this is a celebrity episode of Ground Force. Tent comes down tomorrow. Charlie Dimmock shows the couple round their new water feature. "Police officers" with shovels reveal they are friends and neighbours who helped dig out the weeds. Due to air in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I read The Guardian online most mornings, and there is almost nothing on this story - I dont mean "its been relegated down the page" I mean the story is almost impossible to find full stop. I thought it might be the phone, so went on the laptop and it was still missing - I had to go on the "UK" section and there was one comment piece relating to how Murrells arrest may impact the SNP. Maybe all the stories have been taken down pending update - but its beyond bizzare that such a big story is almost nowhere to be seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Corruption is not, or at least should not, be a party political issue. If anyone is guilty here they should face the full force of the law. A high profile arrest, immediately released without charges look fairly suspect. The UK media and establishment despise the SNP and will do everything possible to bring it down. Think I'd be looking closer at missing COVID cash to be honest, in addition to this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly haven't followed UK politics for long. The rate parties (ALL political parties) get through cash at is eye watering. You also now appear to be inventing a completely new financial "scandal" when the reality is political parties have always spunked cash as if it grew on trees. I suspect if there was a grain of substance to your allegation the gutter press would have been all over it for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was everywhere, multiple links on the BBC and BBC news homepages. His release without charge isn't on either of them and only found on the Scotland page. It really does rip my knitting when the reporting is unbalanced like this. Most people in the UK who read about the arrest probably don't visit the Scottish news page. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
