Richey Edwards Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 2 minutes ago, ICTChris said: The police arrest people so they can question them about crimes. If they invite you to take to them you don't have to. If they arrest you then you have to at least have the questions put to you - you can, of course, refuse to answer or give a 'no comment' interview. Which is pretty much an admission of guilt, if television is to be believed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing there about 'assisting police with enquiries', or inviting people to show up at police station to discuss things. It's not as if they're very llkely to flee the country. The faint thought that this is all a bit like a right wing coup, and a wonder as to who it is that is driving the heavy handedness of all that's being going on....... has crossed my mind ? Yep, when the police "popped in" to Michelle Mones husbands gaff in the Isle of Man to sieze papers he wasnt arrested, and they were allowed to piss off out the country.......apparently forever. Regardless of how heavy handed the SNP stuff is - if something illegal has gone on, they will be charged and rightly so. If not, the Crown are going to look fucking silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefybake Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'll stand by what I said. It all seems slightly odd. Aside from, obviously, direct political opponents who would gain, are there others with a significant interest in all this ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there has been a crime committed, let the investigation proceed. Baldy headed high yins in the SNP should not be above the law. Neither should those very close to them that simply "can't recall" details when asked. Edited April 18, 2023 by wirez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Obviously, this should be investigated for as long as is necessary to find the full truth, but equally, the quicker it gets done, the quicker we stop seeing Glenn Campbell wanking himself into oblivion on Reporting Scotland 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaNostra Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 as much as I think the snp are full of roasters and this could be just an example of that, with the history of the british state you cant rule it out even if it is highly unlikely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Every Yoon on here appears to be forgetting that its up to the Crown to prove that an offence has been committed. "I don't recall" is a perfectly acceptable response under caution, and cannot be used to imply guilt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's completely different. The Police offered Boris a Fixed Penalty Notice because they believed that they could prove that he had disobeyed lockdown restrictions. He chose to pay the FPN rather than force the police to prosecute. As far as I'm aware, no-one in the SNP has even been charged with anything yet. The situations are in no way analogous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which makes it the ideal response to questioning if you actually were guilty of the thing you are being questioned about. It's more than possible to support independence and not support the SNP. Surely that's been made abundanty clear over and over again in the last few weeks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, including Stugeon, had Boris guilty before any fines had been issued. His pathetic defence was quite rightly also publicly derided by most politicians and public alike Do you think the SNP leaders would let her give a no comment statement to the police, if it ever comes to that? Honestly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
