Q is obviously a British secret service agent sent in to sabotage Indy - only explanation for coming out with Paly reparations shit unless it’s just insanity of course.

Over £100 billion on a toy-train track. And people are defending it.

 

Can you give a breakdown of what it should actually cost?  Also your view on whether it should go ahead - balancing the benefits for the UK economy against the cost.  A timescale would be good - and the impact on the cost of such a massive build over the timescale?

 

I look forward to your detailed analysis - but doubt it will be more than an emoji!!

How much of the increased cost of this nonsense will appear on the next absolutely made up GERS figures 🤔

When you make a long term commitment to spend on infrastructure, there should be  benefits in the long term, to the whole of the UK. You have to spend first of course.

When you say "made up" - is it not the Scottish Gov Statiticians who do the calculations?

[Ron Burgundy]

Does anybody still think that an independent Scotland ran by gender confused, racist foreigners on student visas who think Scottish tax payers owe reparations to Palestine would be a good idea?  

 

Scotland is a laughing stock.

But don't forget we are a "welcoming nation" for migrants. We are happy to take anybody.  The fact that Reform is flourishing here now is just a blip.

Actually good moves by Swinney on his cabinet-  particularly swapping Constance and Neil.

 

Constance has allowed hundreds of prisoners out early - so should be able to stop the bed-blockers

Neil  has allowed huge numbers of bed-blockers so should surely be good at holding on to prisoners.

 

Steven Flynn has been overloaded with jobs, with Swinneys hope that he will fail.

 

Mairi McAllan - the new Nicola Sturgeon - has education. Wonder how long it will be before somebody thinks she is one of the pupils.

 

 Not sure when we will see Swinneys assustant again - Jenny Gilruth was asked a question yesterday and is still answering it........

Whether you are left or right, nationalist or unionist. Identity politics is poison.

It's incredible what the Greens have become. They are supposed to be about environmental issues but rarely if ever talk about the environment.

Thankfully, we've escaped the brunt of this, so far. On the bright side, they hate immigration and women with cocks.

I have always thought that he would go guilty - which is a bit of a shame as I would like to hear more about it.  He could declare guilty today - or leave it until later - if he declares not guilty today.

[robertlaird]

Once upon a time naive folk thought that sleaze was reserved for the Tories.

 

[Footballfirst]

Pleaded guilty to embezzlement of £400k

 

Murrell was handcuffed and led from the dock after his guilty plea.

He remained impassive throughout.

He was remanded in custody until sentencing on 23 June.

[The Mazy Run]

I thought it was the SNP that were whiter than white on this sort of thing

 

Thats the impression Lady Murrell liked to give anyway. The irony...

 

[JackLadd]

Amazing corruption by the snp that this event was held up for 3 months so they could hold onto power and their jobs. 

[lost in space]

Plead guilty to save the equally guilty.

Imagine having a Jaguar car in your drive and saying that you know nothing about it - not to mention a campervan at the mother-in-laws.

When you add the other Holyrood corruption and sex perverts - it is just a small scale Westminster.

Independence?? - what a joke.

There are very,  very few political parties that are not corrupt. The whole lot rotten to the core. I wonder if this is a reflection of the society that voted them in.

Wonder if that's the date honest John will announce other pretenderendum.

Nicola must have known

[The Mazy Run]

130 pages of embezzled items now in the public domain. That will be an interesting read

[jack D and coke]

It always looked likely this would be the outcome. What a prick. 
I find it difficult to believe NS knew nothing about it either.

Still 200k missing btw. Murrell admitted to stealing 400k but total missing was 600k. Where is the other 200k?

NICOLA'S STATEMENT -

 

Nicola Sturgeon says she had "had no knowledge or suspicion whatsoever".

"I am utterly appalled that he did so and cannot begin to understand why."

In her statement, she says: "These are not my crimes. I was misled just as others were."

Sturgeon acknowledges the outcome will trigger "political discussion", and says she understands why.

"However, for me this has also been a profound personal trauma," she adds.

"I need to remain focussed on recovering from that and building a new phase of life.

"I will be making no further comment."

 

WHAT A BITCH!!!!!! - Its all about her!!!!!

No comment on how the party has lost large amount of funds.  No comment on how the party struggled financially. No comments on the positive years of Murrells work for the party. No comment on the reputational damage to the party and country.

No "he was wrong but I will support him, if there is a need". 

Its ALL about her personal trauma.

What an absolute horror of a person.

 

[Gordon Ramsay]

She 100% knew.

[Mikey1874]

The question for a partner who says they didn't know is how could they afford everything that now suddenly appeared. 

 

Just too busy presumably.

It was honest John that appointed Murrell during his first failed stint as leader and who was Sturgeon’s deputy when the ‘power couple’ ruled like the Ceausescus.

He must have been holding his telescope the wrong way round!
