Voting is pointless

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Wings Over Scotland has today filed a new complaint with Police Scotland and COPFS against the SNP, on grounds of suspected fraud, theft by appropriation, embezzlement and false or misleading statements, based on new evidence POST-Operation Branchform. https://t.co/orUI13zN5g

If ALL spending by the SNP is for general independence-pursuing purposes, in what sense was the fundraiser money "ring-fenced"? In what way did it differ from the party's everyday money?

If what Swinney says here is true, the fundraiser CAN ONLY have been a deliberate fraud.

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

Swinney has never been a leader or a visionary. He's always there at every bad turn because his specific utility to the SNP elite is his willingness to manage and absorb political damage, and protect the internal hierarchy at the direct expense of grassroots democracy

10 seconds in to Kuenssberg and Sturgeon’s said “I am not responsible for my husband’s crimes”. But YOU FUCKING WERE! You were LITERALLY HIS BOSS! It was UP TO YOU AND NOBODY ELSE to monitor what he did!

SHE'S LOST THE GUARDIAN, PEOPLE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL https://t.co/XZ2ze64LGn

7 June 2017 - SNP closes down "ringfenced" indyref2 fundraiser with proceeds of £482,000.

1 Dec 2017 - SNP pays off £500,000 of debts to Chris and Colin Weir, leaving it with only £8,000 in the bank.

Quite a coincidence, eh?

Delighted to vote for Colin Beattie as @theSNP National Treasurer. His hard work and sound stewardship of our finances has made all our campaign success possible. Let’s keep it going.

[Sam Taylor @staylorish]

Well… this is awkward. John Swinney speaking here on the Sunday Show on 30th May 2021. By this stage the SNP accounts proved that the money had gone missing and Swinney had clearly looked at those accounts. John Swinney was part of the cover up operation.

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

@gracebrod1e I remember in 2023 that SNP declared the campervan as a 'campaign bus', now none of them can remember? Really?

[Paul Hutcheon @paulhutcheon]

Transparency, SNP-style.

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

@ScotNational Probably?? I hope it's no even close. The useless thieving little cow and her potato head compadre deserve everything that's coming to them. If they used that level o skull-duggery to get us away fae the union, I'd maybe hae sympathy for them.....

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

@ScotNational Aye right. Members raised the issue in 2021 and were lambasted into 'not questioning the leadership' by papa mammy

[Gordon Millar @TheMcGreig]

It's certainly not obvious to me. Nicola Sturgeon talked a lot about independence but never did anything about it. She attended anti-Brexit marches but never Scottish Independence marches. When I was on the SNP Policy Development Committee in 2021 I found out that, not only did she completely ignore the PDC but, under her leadership, the SNP had done no work whatsoever on independence policies or planning. She then insisted that the “gold standard” route to independence could only be via the S.30 process, giving a veto on a referendum to the UK prime minister, and then mounted an unnecessary and doomed challenge in the UK's Supreme Court.

While doing all this, she made sure that the SNP was eviscerated of all the most effective pro-independence activists and devoted her time to the promotion of those with limited ability but undying loyalty to her personally, and used “progressive” trans ideologues as her praetorian guard. The last thing that the UK establishment would have wanted to do would have been to get rid of her – she was a major guarantee that another independence campaign would never happen. In summary, she pretended to be pro independence and the UK press and establishment pretended to believe her.

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

@paulhutcheon So he says he takes complete responsibility over financial operations in SNP, but OK for his predecessor to plead complete ignorance??

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

@Gillian_Mackay1 @Ross_Greer You knew it was going to be overturned by UK. 5 more years of no responsibility and grievance politics to keep your arses warm in they seats

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

The Sturgeon acolytes are out in force declaring 'she was investigated and vindicated of any wrongdoing' (on a no-comment interview)
Didn't she spend years vilifying Salmond after he was cleared by trial with a judge and jury?

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

My sincere thanks to Peter Murrell for pleading guilty and saving me from having to listen to any more tedious Celtic fans this week. https://t.co/huBeGsNxMX

[Muriel @PaulMuir6]

@JohnSwinney Your predecessor shelved plans for a publicly owned 'not for profit' energy company in 2021, 4 years after announcing it in yet another election promise. F*cking useless
