Oh Please! Eminent criminologist or not, this article is complete nonsense.
We're not talking about some poor woman whose husband led a secret life outside the home. We're talking about the control freak's control freak. A narcissist who made everything about her (and still does), who micro-managed the SNP and whose husband worked for her. It is simply not credible that she did not know his exact salary and financial limits
She was also perfectly happy misusing the “ring-fenced” donations in 2017 and taking a prominent part in the cover up. We've all seen a video of her haranguing the NEC about daring to question the party's finances and we all read her lies about the accounts and the independence fund when anyone who cared to read the 2017 accounts could see that the £600k had simply been spent on other things. And we also have the first hand testimony of those who were elected to the SNP's NEC and Finance/Audit committee about how she ignored their concerns and did nothing to make Peter Murrell open up the party's books as he was legally obliged to do.
From 2015 she was in complete control of the SNP but chose to do no work whatsoever on independence, despite the open doors of Brexit and continuing leadership crises in the Westminster government. Her main talent as SNP leader was to explain why now wasn't the time for another independence campaign or referendum. She made rockstar-like appearances at party conferences and made big announcements which mostly came to nothing. All this boosted her own ego, but achieved nothing of substance and she was ruthless in getting rid of anyone who tried to point it out.
So please stop coming up with fake “Exclusive” stories trying to make excuses for this appalling, narcissist who has been betrayed by nobody but who has betrayed every voter in Scotland, whether they supported independence or just wanted their country to be well run and fair.
Your reminder that when Douglas Chapman was elected SNP Treasurer specifically to investigate what was happening, Sturgeon, Oswald and Murrell blocked the party treasurer from seeing any invoices or other vouchers for the accounts.
If this was a Political Leader from any other country doing this the EU would have sanctioned them and their country into oblivion.
Then they would have tried to drop a bomb on their head as well.
Israel does it, nothing.
How Israel 🇮🇱 treats the kidnapped peace activists: •
180 on a ‘prison boat’ •
40 with broken ribs •
12 sexually assaulted •
Tasers in the face
Kicked in the head
British Government response ?
Silence.
Shameful.
Scotland has a constitution. Its called the Claim of Right Act 1689, codified in the face of yet another threat of invasion. This time, William of Orange, a known psychopath, was demanding that Scots remove James VII for being a Catholic and make *him* king or face invasion. He sent them the text for a proclamation.
The Scots held an emergency election, called a Convention of Estates and, in record time crafted an Act. (With no monarch present the CoE was entitled to act as the legislative parliament in its place). They used some of William’s wording but instead of deposing James for being a ‘papist’ they said that *while he was a papist* he violated the Scottish constitution by claiming sovereignty over the laws and failing to take the legally required coronation oath - in which a Scottish monarch must swear fealty to the Crown (the people). That’s sovereignty of the people over all other ‘powers’ people. Then they deposed him and, because the ‘king’s parliament’ can’t sit without the monarch to call it, sacked his Parliament with him in the name of the people - the nation. And that’s sovereignty of the people again. Then they set out the rights and liberties of the people and the nation which no government is permitted to violate. (And they are bl*#dy amazing - progressive even today.) And that’s sovereignty too.
Then they made William swear to uphold the Claim of Right as a condition of his - and of every other monarch’s after him - ascent to the Scottish throne.
But it’s critically important to realise that the Claim of Right Act didn’t make anything up. It pulled together the most important of the formerly uncodified principles and ‘rules’ of the Scottish constitution; today it is the foundation of Scots common law.
The hierarchy of authority, limitations on government, fundamental constitutional structure and civil rights - that’s a constitution. Look up the text books on constitutional law if you don’t believe me.
The Claim of Right Act needs to be understood today, ‘translated’ into modern language then the few anachronisms can be removed and the ‘amendments’ (like the US constitution) necessary for the 21st century can be added.

Scotland is the only country in the world too wee and too poor to be independent, yet big enough to provide the entire UK with oil, gas and wind energy. #ScottishIndependence
🇺🇸Tucker Carlson: "The idea that Israel accidentally killed tens of thousands of women and children in Gaza is a total lie-they murdered them on purpose. It's not even debatable; it's a fact..."
🚨HOLY SHIT !!!!!
Israeli politician Yitzik Kroizer says killing Palestinian children is normal if it supports the IDF mission.
He adds there are no innocent children in the West Bank.
Repost this. Please I beg you
Did you know that Dr Hussam Abu Afiya, the heroic doctor who stayed until the last moment in his bombed out hospital saving lives, and who the Israeli army abducted illegally, is STILL kept in chains? Now, Israel seeks to extend his illegal detention. Speak out!
An Irish 🇮🇪 funded school destroyed by Israeli 🇮🇱 occupiers in the West Bank 🇵🇸
The school educated 60 Palestinian children
Ireland 🇮🇪 will demand compensation
But Israel 🇮🇱 won’t pay a penny
It’s occupation
It’s apartheid
It’s ethnic cleansing
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
I punched the air the day that Blair entered no10, we all believed that socialism had returned.
With a 20/20 rear view mirror socialism didn't return, it was a new form of conservatism, filled with traitorous housejocks - just like the 70s Labour Govts.
Vote Labour get tories.
Out of all the countries in the world, only Scotland and Wales allow what are foreign political parties to stand in their national elections.
It wasn't Thatcher that did it, it was the Labour party when it wrote Scotland Act for our being neocolonially administrated in 1999.
