Money stolen – women hardest hit

Sturgeon: I’m the victim of my husband’s fraud

Quite:

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?

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.

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 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.

Her lawyer Aamer Anwar claimed”

“Had there been any evidence of criminality against Ms Sturgeon, then there can be no doubt that she would have been charged, prosecuted and presently be behind bars.”

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.

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?

“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.

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.

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?
