There's 600 grand that the public donated that's disappeared. An enquiry seems reasonable.

 

Imagine that was FOH money, we'd be demanding accountability.

As members of FOH yes, we would. I doubt Kilmarnock fans would be.

Like anything substantial coming from the SFA/Celtic investigation. Nothing substantial will come out of this story beyond whatever sentence PM gets. There won't be any inquiry. It's also got nothing to do with the Scottish Gov, no public funds were swindled. It's a private party issue. Westminster getting involved. 

There’s a possibility that short money from Westminster might have been included in Pete’s splurges. That’s taxpayer cash.

 

Why would Westminster not be involved if that was the case?

Has that been reported somewhere you could send me? I haven't seen that mentioned. If it proven to be the case then yes I'd expect they may well want to have a say.

It would be a waste of our money, nothing can be proved. 

 

That's the criminal side of things dealt with.

 

What about the refusal to look at the books? Why the cover up on that?

 

I don't think Ms Cherry is going away anytime soon on this and I don't blame her.

 

[Hagar the Horrible]

LK questions her on should it be paid back, the look of horror on her face!

 

I think she forgets there is a proceeds of crime act. Drug dealers wives dont get away with the house in their name. If she is nit liable for the missing funds then the SNP are, and every penny should be returned as it was to fund a second referendum which the SNP have no appetite to push for.

It was £400k, it’s a police matter, if it was FoH money I would want those responsible arrested, not discussed by a bunch of career politicians with no repercussions at the end of an expensive investigation.

£666,953 was the amount raised by the SNP from Independence supporters to fund a second Independence referendum campaign. That money has disappeared.

 

£400,310 was the total Murrell was convicted on embezzling, so where is the rest of that public money?

[Maroon Sailor]

Big George wading in. I didn't know Murrell was a Corstorphine boy. He'll know Saughton quite well

 

[Thunder and Lightning]

Do we know what Peter is taking the fall alone? 

 

What does she have on him that stops him explaining her level of involvement. Does not testifying against you spouse cover sham marriages as well? 

[Australis]

Murrell had to give the SNP a loan.

Think he is still due the cash back.

 

Why did they need a loan when he and wee Jimmy were running the accounts, saying everything was fine, nothing to see here stuff.

It’s party funds,not public money as in relating to the government, can’t remember if I gave them a tenner or not. 
I don’t know the ins and outs obviously, but I would imagine it was spent on the new Yes branding etc.

I don't know about the Scottish media but she was a bit of a media darling in the London media for her media presentation of Scotland 's handling of Covid. I say presentation not action. She was good on presentation. Even touted by some for a big internatiomal job in the UN or the like. Fleeing to London too late I think.

Correct.

 

There was a lot of positive reaction to her on COVID matters but you must remember that she was being compared to Boris Johnson.

Nice one. From the Express article it says that the SNP basically just shove all moneybinto one account, so confirming that public funds were used would be quite a forensic excercise, youd literally need a transaction by transaction account to track if any money tipped into a Short Money area.

[Jack Aubrey]

You wanted to know. There it is. But with such a sordid and corrupt couple like the Murrells, who knows what might come out next.

That money was legally given to the SNP, he didn’t steal public money it was still the party’s money.

So just needs a forensic accountant to do what they do then?

Swinney will surely get one on the case to prove it was only SNP funds -  unless there is something to hide of course.........

As CEO, Murrell would surely have the ability to access Gov Funds, since SNP are the Gov.

Maybe wee Peter just likes stealing from dafties though.

That anger is what Sturgeon has done to Scottish people about fellow Scottish people. We are now identified by some as a Nationalist or a Unionist.

I don’t know why some on here are so defensive over whether Pete did or did not include the public purse when he was spending other folks money.

Pointing out that as it stands no public money has been used and as a result there would be no reason for any Westminster inquiry is not the same as defending a convicted fraudster.

[Mikey1874]

Criminal prosecution over the care home Covid deaths remain her biggest challenge.

 

Where employing the best criminal defence lawyer in Scotland and no comment interviews will be required.
