It is startlingly clear that the true purpose of the fundraiser was to pay off the debt to the Weirs (half of which had been paid off the previous year). The stated purpose was a fraudulent lie on the part of Nicola Sturgeon. Murrell's embezzlement was a wholly separate matter.
As I predicted. Peter Murrell has pled guilty to embezzlement.
This will prevent the public rehearsal of details of events and purchases
- including vehicles, cosmetics and jewellery -
which make it simply impossible Sturgeon would not have known.
@murdo_fraser I'm so far from ever voting Tory or agreeing on many things Murdo Fraser comes out with.
But it's still astonishing to me how captured so many people, in what used to be the independence movement, are.
His legitimate questions met with so much deflection & whataboutery.
WAKE UP!!
@WingsScotland I've not seen anyone ask the hypothetical reverse question. "If Hearts scored from their free kick 20 seconds earlier, and their fans stormed the pitch, would everyone just conclude the game was over and it's OK because their fans were just excited"?
As I believed when I first raised this in Parliament, there was clearly a conspiracy to pervert the cause of justice involving members of the SNP and SNP government that led to the trial of Alex Salmond.
Since then successive SNP governments have run a serial cover up, suppressing evidence over and again, assisted by the compromised state of the Scottish prosecutorial system.
It is high time there was a proper police investigation by an independent police force beyond the control of the SNP.

NEW: Brazilian politician Fabiana Bolsonaro performs blackface to show trans people that putting dark foundation on her face doesn't make her black, just like changing your body doesn't make you a different gender.
The incident was reportedly a protest against the appointment of federal lawmaker Erika Hilton, a trans woman.
"I am painted black on the outside. I identify as black. So why can't I preside over the anti-racism commission? Why can't I take care of this agenda? Because I am not black."
@JohnSwinney@scotgov The other week SNP were in court arguing to put murderers in women’s prisons
You expect nurses to change in front of men
Your party passed GRR self-id to deny women single sex spaces& services
You lead a misogynistic party
& have no right to pretend to have any concern for women
It’s a digital image.
How are so many people not understanding that when I say “woman is not a shape” showing me *more shapes* to guess isn’t very clever.
Women aren’t defined by what they look like.
Men and women typically do look different, enough for us to accurately sex people in real life (it’s not just visual. Men in particular seem to struggle here) - but my point was *disguising yourself as a thing doesn’t make you become that thing*.
And then Barry here doubles down asking me “bit what does this look like” which is exactly what I was arguing against. 🙄
The SNP are now more than 20 points less popular than independence, and the gap is growing. They are the ball and chain dragging us to the bottom. We must get free of them or drown. https://t.co/Fdny3kxfx5
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Green Party leaders ‘It’s ok to be a unionist and vote Green But if you don’t think men can be women then don’t vote for us’
You know what to do

@JohnSwinney Oh, must be an election coming up. Carrot dangling bs again. If you truly wanted independence then you would have at least made a half decent attempt at governing and you wouldn't be pedalling the "both votes SNP" and "independence in EU" gash.
