Might improve the standards somewhat. On topic surely that Motorhome would have been too small for the social distance requirements at the time? It might have been ok for the FM, her husband, and the French Ambassador. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they referenced it in another report in September doesnt change that fact. That @virginton is red dotting me on this tells me I am on the right lines too................ You received a red dot for your truly laughable, 'well my local branch reports increased membership!' line. And you've received another one for crying about the judgment of your utterly dreadful posts. Take the L and move on.

alta-pete Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 As this develops my hot take is that Murrell had the wizard wheeze of spunking the SNP money on the battle bus with the view of then buying it back off the party at a suitably depreciated price once the 2021 election campaign had run its course. That they never got out in it didn’t particularly upset his plan, indeed it likely enhanced it by not having filthy little urchins with their grubby paws all through it. Parked on his maw’s drive it could depreciate quietly without racking up any miles or sticky paw prints to one day be sold off from the Party (to who?!?) at a suitable market value. Criminal, probably not. Sneaky misappropriation of funds, almost certainly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaNostra Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Does the SNP no have anywhere else they own they could have parked it, not only does having a husband and wife in leadership roles make them look a 2 bit party but parking the battle bus at the maws is even more 2 bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I don't think it's too outlandish to assume that none of their office space had appropriate parking for a huge motorhome. Although that doesn't get away from the question of why the f**k they bought the thing in the first place.

Molotov Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Motor-homes are often parked in secure locations by owners when not in use as they are highly desirable to criminal gangs. https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/advice-and-training/taking-care-of-your-outfit/caravan-motorhome-storage-facilities/ so if I’m reading that correctly as a member of caravan and motorhome club for under £500 per annum you can get long term CCTV secure facilities? You would think that party expenses would cover such an eventuality and could be declared. It just all seems rather naive especially for two individuals so prominent in public life. Are you honestly telling me they stored it at his mums hoose? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) This saga is making me believe the too poor, too stupid line that's trotted out. Mone (among others) showing us how to do it by making millions off the back of a pandemic and Scotland gets a £100k motorhome. Farcical. It's not that we're not genetically programmed for theft though. Mone is Scottish but she shows how much we need the Union to steal far more money.

ICTChris Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Leaks from an internal SNP meeting state that the party is close to insolvency.

alta-pete Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Probably devoting too much bandwidth to it but the SNP bought a ‘c.£110,000’ motorhome in the Spring of 2021. And then in June - around 4-8 weeks later - Peter loans the party £107,620 due to ‘cash flow difficulties’. Any connection does anyone think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
