Thought I’d get a new thread going as we are perilously close to filling the last and I for one am enjoying watching events unfold in your good company!

buckle up…it’s gonna be a bumpy ride….😁

Oh dear. I am shocked.

Have they looked down the back of the sofa?

Is anyone's dog looking shifty?

Well now - there's a surprise. Said no-one ever.

I love how they are minimising this….

Oh it only relates to one line item relying to “membership, donations and raffle income”

yes…which for 2021 accounts was £3.5m out of a total £4.5m or 79% of total income (and actually three income streams).

So a qualification on the biggest line item on your financial statements is a HUGE deal.

interesting no qualification on expenses…they must have kept the receipt for the camper van after all 😁

It's okay, it's only incompetency, not fraud. Great!

Bit like this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66069034
The bottle return was another poorly planned policy long before any UK intervention (in fact that is a gift of a distraction).

I also wondered, if it applied to glass would that mean jars as well as bottles or was it only ever bottles? It would just seem a very poor time to slap 20p on things like pasta sauce. Though I never really got my head round the whole thing as it seemed doomed to fail from the offset..

phew 😂

I am starting to wonder if incompetency isn’t the worse of those two terrible options, and it goes so deep that the SNP aren’t even able to recognise that ‘well, the thing is, we can’t even manage to pay some accountants to do our books properly or store the relevant receipts properly’ makes them look ridiculous.

If it was ONLY incompetence or ONLY fraud, I suppose we could "look on the bright side". But sadly...

Yes. There is no bright side here.

I guess it's what happens when the other political parties are so dire the SNP is a shoe-in in practically every constituency so they rush through candidates without thorough vetting etc and then have to use the frankly under par people they have to fill roles.

I've not really been following this thread but I look forward to SNP trying to answer Orkneys claim that they are treated less favourably than both Western Isles and Shetland, they'd consider going back to being Norwegian.

Having bits of Scotland wanting to leave Scotland isn’t exactly helping with the SNP’s independence argument. 🤣

I've got recollections of Shetland also considering breaking away - I can't remember their conditions but it might have been if Scotland voted for independence.

I’ve said it before but more areas of Scotland should consider this - there won’t be a meaningful border anyway.

Edinburgh next? They voted no for independence. Unfair to take the city out of the union when the majority don’t want it…
😁

And East Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire too.

The only areas that voted yes were Dundee, Glasgow, North Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire - perhaps they could club together and form a wee nationalist enclave?

The Borders and Dumfries & Galloway both voted remain.

It's almost worrying that we could end up with a Northern Ireland situation on our hands.
But SNP just need to get on with the day job. Improve schools, the NHS and create quality jobs for people. It's nuts that they seem to want to handout benefits rather than get people off benefits and into quality jobs.

It's their campaign at the moment that the only way to get change is to vote SNP. Do you think they've forgotten that they've been in power for 16 years? We need change alright... 🤔

On more SNP shenanigans Paul Di Marcio a former SNP councillor alleges the party leadership rigged a selection contest against him in favour of Anum Qaisar who did not live in the constituency and is now the SNP mp for the seat .
Her father is a wealthy local businessman and a very good friend of Humza and co who possibly has a large supply of white envelopes.

😲 surely this has to be investigated?

There are photos of the murrels at the wedding too.

So Orkney used to be part of Norway? Then presumably the Scottish Government would support a wish by the majority of Orkney residents to return to Norway, if Norway will take them?

How much is the dowry? The people of Orkney could probably have a whip round and pay it themselves. 🤣

I also wondered, if it applied to glass would that mean jars as well as bottles or was it only ever bottles? It would just seem a very poor time to slap 20p on things like pasta sauce.

or jars of baby food. I think it was only bottles but I don’t know what the definition was or whether a bottle could identify as a jar….
