    More extreme left wing propaganda from a man who <checks notes> was Attorney General in Cameron’s government.

    Every single word he says is spot on, and indisputable.

    Starmer couldn’t be getting dealt a better hand could he? If he can’t translate this into an election win then it really would be a masterclass in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Christ, he destroys him. He is so predictable though. Run and blame. Coward.

    Was only a matter of time. If Boris were to identify as a woman they could share a cell together.

    As was her husband and both pending further investigation.

    "A suspect released pending further investigations can be re-arrested at a later date."

    This post made my day!

    I am amazed by the turn of events today. Given that Sturgeon trained as a solicitor, I am still surprised that she has done anything to warrant being arrested,

    What have you got against Sturgeon? Why not focus your angst on
    a Shi* called Rees-Mogg or the equally appalling Farage.

    Couldn`t have put it better myself. There`s a bit of a saga going on over how £600k of SNP funds was spent.. How big a deal is it ? As someone on this board would say, I`ll eat my head if any of this sticks to Sturgeon. (famous last words!)

    AS

    The reason I am surprised by this arrest is that the reports I was reading and listening to last month were highly suggestive that the police investigation was largely involved with dealing with issues such as the SNP's Amazon account and that, other than the camper van, the sums of money being investigated are very small ideed. (I am talking under £5.) As I understand it, the issue is likely to be one of negligence with NS signing off the accounts which should have been scrutinised further. One politician in Scotland went as far as stating that he understood the enquiry to be similar to the investigation in to Ranger FC a few seasons ago and would utlimately not find any criminality.

    I think that NS is porobably the greatest politician in UK pokitics oer the last decade albeit I would add that I mean "politician" in the least flattering definition. She has outwitted so many Uk MPs both in principle and from a moral perspective. If this does go bad for her, I think it will make people very sceptical of politicians in the UK and the negative impact will not be limited to Scotland. It will be fascinating to see the outcome but I would reiterate that Sturgeon's training in law would make me surprised if she has done anything wrong. She has been careful in this respect fot so much of her career, it just strikes me as being uncharacteristic. In my opinion, she has made enemies and they are out fo get her.

    Shame that the same efforts are not being employed to deal with Boris who I think will face far greater challenges in te near future. Difficult to speculate on the future for NS but just feel that the consequences will ultimately prove to be far more devastating for Boris once the Covid enquiry gets underway.

    I thought it was up to me who I focus my angst on but I'll be sure to run my posts past you for approval next time. :emoticon-0173-middl

    If it's alright with you I've posted some stuff about the blessed Nicola that breaks with the usual propaganda.
