I'll wait for the Police to conclude their investigation, thanks.

Rather than contorting that the former FM had arranged to help Police with their enquiries. That is a truly wild take when the Police statement said she was arrested as a suspect.

I think you don't understand how appointments work. Date & time. Arranged. Agreed. No charges.

The headline is intended for the "low information" demographic.

Emphasise the catch, diminish the release.

I had an appointment at the dentist last week. I wasn't arrested for it 🤔

That's because dentists are not the Police, it is why they are spelled and pronounced differently.

"valid criticism" would be a smuggled premise. Criticism, is at best what you have; let's see whether it is valid.

Humza reckons that there is not enough to merit sanctions. I tend to agree.

Please do elaborate on why that is incorrect.

The 2nd First Minister to be compared to Fred West.

Who will eventually compare Humza to Fred ?

I'm good. You keep up the good work though.

Ahaha Jesus christ. Who is the writer I recognise that face from someone I've filed under the Twitter losers bracket before?

You're assuming guilt. Do you have some inside knowledge of the police investigation? 

I'm not assuming anything.  The damage is already done.  She stood on her pedestal and berated the corrupt Westminster parties and now look.

She had one job to do when she took over the party and that was don't f**k anything up that might stop you being able to deliver a referendum.  She failed.

Basic media literacy should make anyone suspect anything that is leading with the spectacular in favour of the factual.

Although i absolutely support Police Scotland's proactive approach and look forward to similar scrutiny, and murder tents, being placed on another political party.

Won't be holding my breath tho'

Would you like to elaborate on why Police Scotland should be investigating another political party.  I would refer you to your own post if you have knowledge of a crime.

If you have any accusations that are worthy of any consideration you may address them to:

Contact Police Scotland - Police Scotland

Well there's this guy. Calls himself an MP sometimes, an call himself an MSP on other occasions. Sometimes he even say's he's a leader. Appears to be claiming two Full-time salaries plus expenses, but also appears to be moonlighting at the football for the most part. Not sure how that works exactly. Won't release his full tax returns. Looks shifty. His political party is well-know for corruption cronyism and all manner of vip-lanes and preferential treatment for a donor class. Profiteering off a crisis at the public expense is one of their more recent gambits. Yet,  no murder tents. No arrests. Clear guilt, yet no action by Police and security forces who were witness to all the antics. Not until it became undeniable that it had happened. Nearly a year later.

Is she corrupt? Is there corruption in the Scottish Parliament? I don't think so. We know what corruption looks like and can see it happening in the other parliament, yet we see nothing like the stuff being thrown towards the SNP at present.

Again, you're assuming she's guilty of something. With both potential Westminster ruling parties having ruled out a referendum from before the police took any interest in the SNP's finances it doesn't make any sense anyway.

Don't back doon, double doon. If that fails revert to whataboutery and deflection.

Don't forget good 'ol evasion.

Like when i ask what Nicola has done that is meant to be so scandalous.

Has she been caught screwing anyone in Parliament? Taken blow? Watched porn? Gotten inebriated and/or violent? Abused people around her? Used racial slurs? Taken a bribe? Taken a dodgy offer of a 2nd job? ..that later turned out to be a sting?

Nope.

None of those things.

Look at what? There's an on going police investigation which may turn out to be nothing close to your pre-determined assertions about Nicola Sturgeon. An innocent person can't help it if they're part of an investigation.
