@WingsScotland We have been dealing with COPFS for over 19 years. They lie, interfere with evidence and control all events and there is nothing you can do. Politicians and media will not report on or deal with clear and obvious corruption.
I gave up on independence 18 years ago. This is why.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@RogerthePolice @1919_mag Murders in Scotland are also easily hidden. No independent review of facts.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@WingsScotland Our family has been in the middle of this behaviour on more than one occasion. In our case, ordinary cops do a thorough job, senior cops pass on findings with summary that does not fit with findings. COPFS then say they have insufficiency. Leaving all parties with deniability.

@Mark1957 Also, if he has more than enough to pay back and we know that he took more, how much has he still scored?

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@AgentP22 He should threaten not to go, show solidarity with these guys.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@WingsScotland You may get a response stating they will review your information. They will then kick it into the long grass. Wait a few years and tell you everything has been done.
We have witnessed this on numerous occasions, now waiting on findings of forensic review ordered 3years ago.

@ricardobc @TailgateEast12 @001Oxygen It is.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@TailgateEast12 @001Oxygen First wed cu memories are from 1970. Fantastic teams headed by an Exceptional Brazil. Luckily can’t remember 1966 but had to relive it every 4 years:-(

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@WingsScotland Also, in the case of Colin Marr, it was clear that Police and Fiscal would rather hide a homicide than deal with corrupt officers. Politicians and Media would never use the word corrupt regardless of evidence.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@WingsScotland My family organised with Police Scotland to hand over evidence in the death of Colin Marr. Crown Office got wind if this and wanted evidence passes straight to them. They in fact cancelled the meeting. Police easily say that there is no new evidence, if no public trial.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@Documark @WingsScotland @COPFS It seems that in jobs where integrity should be paramount, (politicians, Police and Crown) they are actually held to a lower bar than the rest of society.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@BillDunblane Also clearly shows that the police cannot be independent of the Crown. The Crown can act independently from police though.
I have been told of a case in England where Police were able to bypass Crosn and use a senior counsel to prosecute when being blocked.

@Documark @IreneSc10551404 @AlexNeilSNP @COPFS @rblackqc Not criticising your position.
However, It has been a problem that those in a position to make change fail to do so. History suggests that when the furore dies down, it will move to the back burner again.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@Documark @IreneSc10551404 @AlexNeilSNP @COPFS @rblackqc The problem is that people like Salmond et al did not care about the failings until it impacted them. Many families fighting for answers for years with Salmond and McAskill in charge. If we want independence, these things need changed in advance not after.

@FOWingsScot Did Murrell’s major embezzlement happen after the money from Referendum fund looking like it was used to pay off Weir loan? If so, did he learn how easy it was to manipulate accounts without scrutiny at this time?

[Annemarie Ward 💜 @Annemarieward]

Yes, it is. The disappearance of the working-class voice from Scottish politics is not a footnote. It is THE headline. A young Scottish man today is three times more likely to die early than his counterpart in England, Spain, or Italy. The causes are not mysterious: drugs, suicide, cancer. The fallout of poverty, neglect, family breakdown, and political inertia. Scotland is now the only developed country where mortality among men aged 25 to 44 is rising. Life expectancy in parts of Calton sits closer to post-Soviet mining towns than to a modern Western European city. The kind of statistic you expect to find in a World Health Organisation briefing on social collapse, not in a nation that endlessly describes itself as compassionate and progressive.

And nowhere is this failure more visible than in our prisons. Young men face staggering levels of despair, with suicide attempts at terrifying rates. Yet we continue spending almost as much incarcerating people for a year as it would cost to provide meaningful residential rehabilitation and recovery support. When over 70% of crimes are committed either under the influence of substances or driven by addiction itself, does it not make more moral, social and economic sense to invest seriously in recovery rather than endlessly recycling damaged people through systems of containment?
We were promised that devolution would bring power closer to the people. But for those I know, in addiction, in recovery, in poverty, in communities where hope itself feels rationed, Holyrood has often felt further away than ever.

Yes, we have improved representation in some important areas, sex and ethnic diversity, and that matters. But let’s be honest enough to admit the Parliament increasingly looks more like Scotland while sounding less like Scotland.

The accents of managerial politics have replaced the voices of ordinary working people. The language is polished, therapeutic, procedural, endlessly consultative, yet somehow emotionally weightless.

Politics has become a performance of compassion rather than the hard, costly business of practising it.

As @PaulEmbery put it: “Britain isn’t experiencing social turmoil because of ‘far-right’ beliefs; it is doing so because of luxury beliefs, held by unrepresentative elites who govern our institutions. If you don’t understand that, you don’t understand anything.”

And who, precisely, is carrying the burden of this failure? Not the professional classes. Not the comfortable managerial elite. The poor. The working class. The forgotten communities whose children die younger, whose streets decay faster, and whose voices are heard least.

Yet policy is still too often written about them rather than with them. Consultations become curated exercises in institutional self-reassurance: polished, centralised, filtered through anaemic, on-message voices carefully selected not to disrupt the consensus. Not real representation. Not real experience. Just management.

@GrahamSpiers If the game rolled on, the 3rd goal would be reviewed by VAR as per all goals. Would they not see the early incursion of Celtic player(s) before ball goes in net? If this resulted in 3rd goal being disallowed, we would be back to a one goal game.

@The_Forty_Four Both Bayern and Barcelona had won League titles and Champions League before and after Pep. Bayern never won it with Pep. Man City had won League title not long before Pep. What Ferguson did at Aberdeen and Man Utd has never been replicated at those clubs.

[Stuart Graham @graham_stu]

@RampantRaskin He is actually stating that the fourth official told him there was a minute to play.

@JimSpenceDundee @AuldM One upside, my cans were always well chilled just sitting them in my bedroom.
