Peter Murrell embezzlement trial

[Sunnnyday]

Peter Murrell is in court in Edinburgh today. This is for the preliminary hearing which was postponed from before the election. It will be interesting to see how the criminal proceedings proceed.

Night all 🤣

Swinney himself said

Peter Murrell was allowed by the SNP to pay himself expenses without providing any evidence, it has emerged, as John Swinney conceded that public money may have been abused in the 12-year embezzlement spree.

May?!

I don’t get why you’re not outraged 🤷🏼‍♀️

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joanna Cherry was going to stand to be an MSP but this was blocked

Honestly, hats off to anyone who continues to engage 🫠.

In other news, I see there are allegations today that Colin Beattie effectively bribed the local party to ensure he was selected to stand for Parliament again, with a £20,000 donation to party funds

There are some absolutely brilliant pro-SNP comments on this thread.

It is totally not a cult.

Anyway…

Hare Sturgeon, Hare Sturgeon,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Murrell, Hare Murrell,
Krishna Sturgeon, Krishna Murrell,
Sturgeon Sturgeon, Murrell Murrell

And there are pamphlets and newspapers available to educate you. And a blog. And some votive candles for the Sturgeon-Murrell divine saviour figures. 👍

Perhaps those of us who are outraged can think of better things to spend £2 million on than a police investigation. Especially when the type of checks and balances common in the local bowling club or toddler group would have prevented Mr Murrell doing what he did rendering police involvement unnecessary.

Also it is possible to be outraged by matters not directly affecting one. For example I am not starving in a 3rd world country but the fact that others are does (and should) cause outrage.
Or do you only care about things which directly impact you ?

And an actual college!

this is real, btw

"Skilled SNP Leaders as instructors"? Where did they find them then?

I’m often tempted to sign up but obviously it costs 😂

Is that how they were recorded by Murrell on his list of 'expenses'?

Ah yes…attacking my grammar will convince me otherwise! Incredibly clever argument you’ve made there…

It's par for the course and has earned them several deletions in the past. Surprised they're still doing it.

This is funny but true

You are having a laugh!!! The SNP has lost more than 50% of its members since 2020. And they tried to cover that up too which resulted in Murray Foote's resignation.

The party is rotten to the core. Anyone with any sense will have left the party by now.

I stand corrected.

Here's the correct link to the National newspaper post on FB:

I already posted a link with the figures which confirm what you say - but it was possibly on the other thread.

For those who missed it:

"Membership has fallen to 56,011 as of 1 June 2025, down from 64,525 the same time last year and less than half of its peak of around 125,000 in 2019."

How stupid are these people???

The actual Scottish Pravda is saying the fund has been spent and the faithful are still saying they donate?
