Sorry to be slow but why is everyone so happy? I grew up in Scotland but have been away for 25 years so I'm a bit out of touch.

Because its always good when corrupt politicians get treated like the public.

Because its always good when corrupt politicians get treated like the public.

Especially when they've spent years pretending they're SO MUCH BETTER than that corrupt Westminster crowd, when actually they're exactly the same. Or, apparently, worse.

RoundWeGoAgain2 · 18/04/2024 20:17

Yes I see your point.

Down south we are all quite grateful to them for making the westminster folks look bad. Even if it's not true, it gave us hope. LOL

Misthios · 18/04/2024 20:40

Very good, @medianewbie.

Not Scottish but fuck me they’ve turned out to be a dodgy bunch haven’t they. It’s kind of disheartening, I want to have faith in socialism and left leaning parties but they seem to be so slippery and inept that I have nowhere to turn any more.

Whereas the right leaning ones are straight as a die 🤣

Rainbowshit · 18/04/2024 20:59

The SNP claim the moral high ground over the right though. It's delicious to see their hypocrisy being exposed. 🍿

Grand ! Just grand . Not only corrupt but the SNP s ambitions totally exceed their competence .

JennyLake · 18/04/2024 21:22

Wow….i never thought it would happen. Cue Nicola swiftly distancing herself from him.

Meanwhile, the Scottish Greens are imploding. Not because of the abandoned climate change targets, but because the Sandyford Clinic won't be prescribing puberty blockers any more.

motheronthedancefloor · 18/04/2024 21:32

hope Nicola is charged next.

Charged doesn't mean definite jail though. Need to wait and see.

Still another 2 years of the fucking SNP regardless of how this goes.

justasking111 · 18/04/2024 21:38

I'm glad that the Scottish police have acted. You all deserve some honesty.

Where is Nicola, read somewhere that she was in Europe these days.

Thatsthewayitisnt · 18/04/2024 21:57

What I’m wondering if NS knew about this, either at the time or subsequently. If she chooses not to divorce him, what does that tell us? He’s allegedly misappropriated funds given by donors for the cause of Independence, something she is fanatical about. If she doesn’t feel utterly betrayed that tells us a story in itself.

Catsolitude · 18/04/2024 22:25

She will divorce him. Tell us how abusive he was. How they lived separate lives. She will be tearful live on camera and tell us how all she ever wanted to do was her best by Scotland. Humza won’t want to comment on a live police investigation but will waffle on with lots of “of course”es thrown in for good measure. If you want to talk about financial thievery and deceit Humza you could comment on the Matheson stuff though. Pretty sure we’re still waiting to see the full report.

@GoodnightAdeline

Don't be disheartened - the SNP used to be known as the 'Tartan Tories'. They lean towards whatever they think will get them power. Their mission is only to nurse a chip on their shoulders.

user145832431 · 18/04/2024 22:50

BuT It'S AlL A YooooNiOnIsT PLoT!!!!!!!!!!!! A BBC conspiracy of lies against the true protectors of Scotland!

Police Scotland are Westminster stooges (apart from the ones who're protecting us from hate crime and shutting up the naughty women, they're oK)

Seeingadistance · 18/04/2024 22:51

Hurray!!!

I'm just in - heard on car radio early evening that he'd been arrested but now find that he's been charged!

Oh happy day!

Misthios · 18/04/2024 22:53

@Catsolitude she will definitely. There have been rumours circulating about the Murrells "marriage" for years, Mr Murrell has now served his purpose and Sturgeon will indeed get rid. Think what you like of her (and I am far from a fan) she is a canny political operator and gives the public what they want to keep herself in the limelight. Being married to someone accused of fraud isn't a good look for someone who sees her next move into the international political arena with the EU or UN or something equally high profile.

Then, once freed from her "husband", she would then be free to be with whoever she chooses. Of either sex.

medianewbie · 18/04/2024 23:43

@Misthios Yes (re your last line) Let's hope there are no more irons chucked out of hotel windows though !

C0NNIE · 18/04/2024 23:50

Couldn’t happen to a nicer chap 😂

Scottishskifun · 19/04/2024 08:45

Even the national ran being charged as their front page. I mean it then had a dumb Liz Truss story directly below so that everyone remembers the big bad Tories but turn out for basically a government paper!

Rumours are rumours. No one knows what the truth is. Presumably if she wasn’t living in her house her neighbours would be gossiping .

The SNP spin and a fawning media in the likes of The Guardian and Channel 4 might give you the impression things are better here. They aren't.

Even Sturgeon's so called success in Covid was a sham. Per capita deaths were higher in Scotland.

Wbeezer · 19/04/2024 10:46

@RoundWeGoAgain2 we effectively have an extra layer of dreadful politicians adding to the problems, double whammy.
