I have never encountered a CEO working in public or third secotor who can draw up to £30,000 directly for their own expenses without any checks or authorisation. Maybe such a situation exists but threshold is usually much, much lower.
Incredible statement from Amnesty International UK on Henry Nowak:
Not a single word of conveying outrage or horror over the brutal murder, or of how police left him to die without dignity.
Instead, their statement is about policing the *political commentary* around the case.
I kid you not.
What a grotesque betrayal of any moral purpose.
These NGOs aren’t just useless - they actively despise you. They are hostile to everything you value and everything you hold dear.
A complex false accounting trail by Murrell, sure. But he was only able to do it because of a total absence of checks and balances in the SNP’s accounting system. He had enormous power - which he abused. And he had that level of trust because he was the leader’s husband.
Inside Murrell's campervan:
Expensive cookware from Le Creuset
Utensils from Joseph Joseph
A designer Alessi teapot.
Molton Brown toiletries
Take the Slow Road guidebooks and...
Absolutely zero SNP campaign materials
Revealed for first time: Inside the motorhome ex SNP chief Peter Murrell bought for £125k after created fake invoices pretending it was for campaigning.
The day after the purchase he bought 3 books about “inspirational journeys around Scotland” @SkyNews
Really quite an extraordinary moment as the Crown details the lengths Peter Murrell went to deceive those within the SNP and enrich himself and his family
Sentencing on June 23.
Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.
George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.
Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.
And we all know why.
During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.
They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.
And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.
This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.
This needs to stop.
