Sturgeon: I’m the victim of my husband’s fraud
Nicola Sturgeon said she “should not be held responsible for the wrongdoing of men” after Peter Murrell, her estranged husband, admitted to embezzling hundreds of thousands of pounds from the SNP this week.
The Big Boy did it and then he ran away.
You never get called up for jury service at the right time.
Presumably he pled guilty to avoid being cross-examined before a jury and to spare La Sturgeon a spell in the witness box.
Wanting to avoid the humiliation of cross-examination is plausible, but sparing his ex-wife is not plausible.
More plausible is he was offered a deal – plead guilty to X,Y and Z, and we’ll make sure you get a soft sentence, moved to an open prison pretty quickly and parole soon after. Plead not guilty and let the SNP skeletons out out of the closet, we’ll make an example of you, 10 hard in Barlinnie or such like.
Or indeed he negotiated the deal himself – I’ll cop to X, Y and Z if you give me a sweetheart deal, otherwise I tell all, and bring the house of cards down on all your heads.
Michael Deacon in the Telegraph makes fun of the fact that part of the stolen loot was spent on a pair of Dyson hair-dryers. But Murrell is undeniably a baldy-heid.
That is, of course, unless the hair dryer was for the use of someone with hair who was not Krankie. I have heard stories of lavender that dare not call its name.
The Scots are (or were) not an ugly people and have produced some great lookers, but when I view the SNP I am struck by how unlovely they generally are. Krankie’s mean, thin mouth; Murrell’s solanumism; the list goes on. A bunch of betas at best. Is this the source of their anger?
“solanumism”? That’s a new word to me, and to Google. I hope it means something interestingly insulting.
I was wondering that too. I thought it might be to do with the sun and therefore a Wodehouse reference to it not being hard to distinguish between a Scotchman with grievance and a ray of sunshine.
Sola is Latin for “only”; “numism” could be something to do with coins in Greek (numismatics). “Sola scriptura” is “by scripture alone”, a Protestant doctrine.
So “by money alone”? An explanation of his method of gaining and wielding power?
Solanum: potato/deadly nightshade family. Hence poisonous potato-head
Got it. My neologism of the day.
“Solanum” is also the name of a zombie virus, so multiple possibilities.
Tomatoes and eggplant, too.
I suffer from an intolerance to it. I have to be so careful.
Fried stuff seems to be OK, but only in small quantities.
As in: His Solanaeceus Spudacity, the Sage of Ely…..
You’d think peeps would have picked up on that by now….. 😉
I assumed it was a reference to Murrell being a tatty-heid.
I have a theory that talented Scots leave now, and take their genes with them. Think about it. Why would you want to be in Scotland, if you don’t have to be there? It’s cold and wet and a long way from everywhere. You can move to Berkshire and everyone speaks English and it’s nicer weather, closer to Europe.
At one time, there were certain sorts of work up there plus you might not want to be too far from family, but now, cars are good, or a £50 Easyjet flight.
How many 80s Scottish bands still live there? The Proclaimers are still there as they really love Scotland, but Liz Fraser is in Bristol, Midge Ure in Wiltshire, Clare Grogan in London, Jim Kerr is in Sicily, Roddy Frame in London.
True, but then why would anyone now want to be in England if they could possibly avoid it?
We’re like those sheep wandering around those ruins of ancient Rome in a Piranesi drawing.
It’s like comparative advantage but in this case comparative shitholia.
Leaving England for elsewhere requires a lot of uprooting. Citizenship, language, culture. Scotland to England, not so much.
Yes, there’s that.
OTOH, the imported diversity tends to head dahn sarf apart from the ones retained in SNP fiefdoms.
Apparently a lot of London adjacent retirees choose to retire to the bits of Scotland with an apalling lack of diversity,.
I want to be in Scotland- plan to retire there because the alternative is bloody London, which already feels like a foreign country
Other places are available. But not guaranteed to remain pleasant for long.
Come on the Imberbus trip with some of us and have a look at Warminster. Or do a trip to Devizes.

South Carolina is great. Though you may struggle with the language.
I love the Google Earth story. Have the BBBBC called her a lying wee tattie yet or are they still in thrall like they are with the bumbling idiots playing at politicians?
What is the Google Earth story then? I’ve missed that.

So Jimmy Krankie’s evil twin never visited her mother-in-law for over 2 years, or had a holiday in that camper van?
Thank you for that lovely find. “Visible from space” people used to say.
Gets better:
“I was not aware of the purchase of a coffee machine”
Echoes of “Three Kitchens” Miliband there.
Pants on fire.
Like the surface of the sun on fire
That is what caused the blaze on Arthurs Seat.
They had another one on BH Monday, we saw it on the way back from Belhaven!
I though wimmen were all independent and in control of their lives without any help from a man. If so how can anything like this be someone else’s fault, especially a mans. I bet he is white as well.
Seems to me that women are all independent until something goes wrong then its the mans fault. He did it and ran away and poor defenceless and gullible me was left with the blame.
Lord T, Schrodingers women: They are weak, defenceless, in need of a male to protect them, whilst simultaneously being strong, resilient and independent. When it suits.
Her lawyer Aamer Anwar claimed”
Well, that’s a circular argument, isn’t it. That’s how the justice system ought to work, but does anyone really believes that’s how it actually works for politicians? Especially Scottish ones with their own police force.
Would that be Aamer Anwar of the Inverness Anwars and do they have their own tartan?
He looks a bit of a spiv as well. Oddly born in Manchester, which I’d have thought would be a bigger objection for the SNP.
Anwar was lawyer for Tommy Sheridan, the left-wing MSP who was convicted of perjury.
I wonder why Sturgeon chose him?
Given that Scotland is still 93% white there are an awful lot of Westernised Oriental Gentlemen in the Scottish Blob.
They’re working on that, Glasgow is filling up with brown people now.
“Aamer Anwar” isn’t just her lawyer, he’s an anti-white Paktivist for MORE MUSLIMS, MORE MIGRATION
The way Scotland is governed has much in common with rats fighting over territory in a sewer. An honest solicitor would have nothing to do with Sturgeon.
We’ve seen that this argument’s truth depends heavily on the party and professed beliefs of the politician.
For Sturgeon? I’m amazed that she’s in this much trouble. There’s a lot more there that’s been covered up I’m certain.
An appeal to ignorance, too. Lack of indictment is not evidence of innocence.
If her protestations are to be believed then she is credulous and obtuse to a degree which ought to render her unfit for much more than sweeping floors or taking in washing.
And yet I still bet she gets away with it. For now.
“Estranged”
I suspect it’s either not really the case, or they argued about the division of the loot.
Look up “lavender marriage”. Then look up “superinjunction”.
“I was not aware of the purchase of a coffee machine.”
Oops, just posted above before scrolling down to see you’d got there first.
Remember, the cunt Sturgeon is up to her brass neck in the plot to imprison Alex Salmond over false rape allegations.
All while pretending to be heterosexual while she and her beard stole hundreds of thousands of pounds of party funds.
And the only reason she isn’t being prosecuted is because Scotland is a corrupt joke of a country, where Nicola’s Wee Pals run the prosecution service.
Remember, the cunt Sturgeon is up to her brass neck in the plot to imprison Alex Salmond over false rape allegations.
Whilst at the same time enabling rapists to be housed in women’s prisons.
I’d like to know how she squares being fully cooperative with the police whilst spending 10 hours or however long it was parroting “no comment” to every question.
Does she know what a man is?
Nicola Sturgeon said she “should not be held responsible for the wrongdoing of men”
Is this some strange feminazi excuse?
‘Men’ didn’t do this, your husband did.
Sturgeon – la gauche caviare, as the French put it – feeling a bit uncomfortable for a week is a small price to pay for entertaining the rest of us.
It’s claimed the Krankie lookie-likee may lose her house in order to pay back some of her hubby’s theft:
[Windsor Davies voice}: Oh dear. How sad, Never mind.
Missing from the SNP “ring-fenced” fund – £670,000.
Located in Mr Murrell’s back pocket – £420,000.
Can we assume that the search for the missing quarter mill is being handled by Police Scotland?
