@RosaZambonini The police have to build a case and gather evidence that will stand up in court. Sturgeon just had to notice something fishy was going on. The fact she didn’t is a little hard to believe.

No. Let’s play the truth. If police Scotland took years and a force of forensic experts to uncover his deceit why would you think someone who trusted the people around them would notice it in the time frames they had? You hate NS and thats up to you, but be honest

@GitUseless @joannaccherry They raised in the region of £600k and told everyone that money was ring fenced. Then accounts were published and the snp had much less money than that which led to the police investigation.

@joannaccherry Your thread seems to be confusing the issue. The charges against Murrell have got nothing to do with the referendum donations as they were not directly embezzled. The Crown want people to think Murrells charges are in relations to fund raising appeals.

The real victims of Murrell’s crimes are the ordinary Independence Supporters who gave their hard earned cash to the SNP with the express purpose of furthering the cause of independence. They will want to know how their donations could have been embezzled for so long without 1/6

@ionafyfe It was money donated by the public, was everyone who donated a party member?

Nicola Sturgeon passed her driving test aged 53. Her schedule and work life had stood in the way of her doing something as normal as learning to drive. Is it really THAT unimaginable that her and her husband had become so distant and estranged that they didn’t “socialise” or go on holiday? If you ask me, this is a tragic state of affairs. The party money was stolen. Not tax payer public funds. Party money. SNP members are the victim of this fraud, but at the heart of the story is a woman who was possibly living in a challenging, and potentially dysfunctional marriage, who was betrayed.

@StephenFlynnSNP @theSNP So what are you saying, as you quit a few months after being elected, you didn’t put Aberdeen and Scotland first?

What a night for it 🥵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@AngelaHaggerty Or it was a sham marriage from the start as when this all broke she was described as sharing a house with Murrell. A married couple don’t share a house students do. Very odd.

It's plausible that a wife knows more about a husband's crimes than she's letting on. It's also plausible that a wife has been betrayed by a husband living a secret life. One thing's for definite: no one will solve it on twitter. Arguing about it on social media is pointless.

@dirkt1978 @Colkitto I’m pretty sure if my partner bought a camper van I’d be asking questions.

@Colkitto Do we know everything that our other half purchases with their own money and through their own bank accounts - nope

On the "did Sturgeon know?" Murrell was buying things that he probably could quite well afford for someone on his salary.

@Colkitto Maybe he could but for sturgeon not to question why he was buying the likes of a campervan is a little odd don’t you think?

@indy_swim Not being charged is not the same as being cleared. The police didn’t press charges, that could have been for a variety of reasons, of which we’ll never know I guess.

Yes. She wasn't charged and cleared during a multi-year police investigation. Simple as that. Now, Michelle Mone....

@ES1903_ It says the manager couldn’t guarantee he’d play every week so he’s decided to move on. So you put two and two together and get 5 and blame the board?

This doesn't sit right with me, how little money faith was put on the table by the shambolic folk in charge. My god the squad looks grim for next year....

@RexKwonDo_ By the ceo of the party. It’s the public who donated who have been wronged.

The SNP have had money stolen from them. The press and media will, of course, now try to put the blame for this on the SNP.

@indy_swim You’re confusing public money (taxes etc) with public money (money given by the public). It’s the people who donated who have been wronged not the snp.

British nationalists clearly not realising that the SNP are the victims in this. Peter stole from the PARTY, not public money. Why are they so stupid? 🤣

@sandyfintray @AustinRSheridan He was my mp also and I can’t think of anything he did for the area.

@DM_No5 @AustinRSheridan He was nothing short of useless for Gordon 🤬

If you live in the Aberdeen South constituency and you want a dedicated MP that will always put you first before Westminster, you have to vote for Richard Thomson on 18th of June. For an MP always on the side of Aberdeen and Scotland. #VoteSNP 💛🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@AustinRSheridan So what are you saying in an Indy Scotland all the revenue made from oil would stay in Aberdeen? Or would the central belt just take it all?

I presume we are expected to be ignorant of the fact that oil and gas is reserved to Westminster which by the way has been mismanaged for the past 50 years. It would be far better if Scotland could make decisions over its own resources with independence. #VoteSNP 💛🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@SconeOf Those things may have happened and then they may not have.

@DM_No5 my entire life wouldve been different if it had been under indy. None of the last 9 tory govts. Industry wouldve been modernised not closed. We’d be in EU/EFTA, We’d have had a giant sovereign fund like Norway. If you don’t think that changed scottish lives hugely ur wrong

one of the reasons we are not indy is too many Scots spend infinitely more of their passion arguing about fitba games, VAR and pitch invasions than they spend on their national freedom

@TartanSeer You’re right votes don’t matter in Scotland. Pro UK parties got several hundred thousand more votes than nationalist parties yet we’re stuck with them for another 5 years.

In my country, Scotland, all votes do not matter. Only unionist votes. Scotland has elected a majority pro independence parliament, yet England says 'no'. The 'union' is a prison, broken and deeply undemocratic. It can't continue. #Yes

@danielanadj77 Places are capped and the numbers are being reduced. One consequence of this “free tuition” is that Unis have to rely more on foreign students for their funding and those numbers are falling leading to unis having major cash crises.

A woman in the audience who moved to Scotland from England praises the free university tuition system . Yes, I wish we had that in England too. #bbcqt
