I am by nature too lazy to hold a grudge - way too much effort to nurse a wrath to keep it warm
Except for this woman - I wish to see her reputation so trashed that she is unemployable in the type of hi-profile role she so narcissistically craves
Just lodged complaint

against

re non-existence of records re
@FerriesFiasco
referring to obligations to keep accounts and not to destroy records under S.19 Public Finance & Accountability Act 2000 and S.75 Freedom of Info (Scotland) Act 2002 respectively
Question for all
Should Sturgeon’s handling of Covid funding, the ferries and Gupta be subject to fraud investigation …not by
@PoliceScotland
but by an English police force?
Like = Yes
Reply = No
RT
So Sturgeon withheld £2bn+ of available budgeted funds to starve NHS & councils of desperately needed money for health education libraries road etc whilst taxing Scots highest in UK - people suffered, people died on waiting lists
Talk about callous
A solicitor for 47 years, I’m now ashamed of Scots legal system
*Malicious prosecutions
*Investigation delay if not cover-up
*Rule of law pissed on in Parliament
*Courts in disarray
*Police & Crown Office political stooges
The common thread - SNP
I really can’t believe I am about to say this.
But every time

Despite their flaws, I was so proud of Scots Law & our justice system I have been privileged to serve as a solicitor for 46 years
But no more
From 2013 SNP, esp Sturgeon, corrupted the police, the Crown Office and the justice system for party political and personal ends
How does a mediocre politician amass a pension pot of £558,000? She can only contribute £40k pa
How does her pension pot which was downvalued by £120,000 just weeks ago miraculously increase by £224,000 overnight?
Crime doesn’t pay they say
Yousaf’s wants us to respect his in-laws’ privacy!?!
What a fucking joke
For 4 weeks Yousaf’s been banging on about their being abandoned by UK govt and demanding action?
Now we’re not allowed to ask how much they’ve cost us? Other than £750,000
Scotland is not Muslim, I don’t want us to become Muslim
Yet Scotland’s FM, and his wife, both loud Muslim activists, purport to speak for Scots. They don’t
But they do support Muslims abroad leaving Scots to struggling unaided with aftermath of floods and landslides
Not my FM
Seen in Sunday Times. Scotland does NOT have a “First Lady”. Yousaf is not a President and they certainly not a “royal family”
This is not a Muslim country
I am a Scot to my bones and proud to be so. The 🏴 is MY flag, it doesn’t belong to SNP
SNP have misappropriated 🏴 as and have bastardised it as their political
emblem but it’s not registered as such with Electoral Commission
Why should I pay for these scroungers?
40% of working age Scots are economically inactive and not looking for work
If they can’t bother their arses to provide for themselves why should the rest of us?
@HumzaYousaf
I hope you and your wife, who both regularly denigrate and despise UK, remember to thank the same UK for helping your in-laws in their time of need
But I suspect you’ll both just issue grievances they weren’t prioritised
Astonished at reaction to this tweet.
To clarify, whilst I think
@NicolaSturgeon
stands head & shoulders above all other UK politicos in

Alastair, that you remember and honour a political opponent in such manner annually should tell the rest of us just what we have lost
Not just in Charles Kennedy
But in our body politic generally
That we could all respect each other in such manner passionately but with respect
@tweetmentcentre
Gender extremist
@MaggieChapman
, childless, tells loving parents what’s best for their child & treat disagreement as a hate crime
The imminent ban on “conversion therapy” will criminalise a parent even trying to counsel their child
How have we let such perversions take over?
Too many SNP voters can’t think beyond “freedom”
Too many others simply can’t think
The rest are unemployed, low wage and/or benefit dependents who do t pay for all the goodies they think sre free
And ALL SNP voters have been whipped into orgasm of Anglophobic froth

Sturgeon is a failed lawyer - FM
Yousaf is failed law student and call centre manager - FM
So no surprise that care-home worker Robison runs the economy
And we wonder why Scotland is wallowing in the shit
Scotland’s public sector employs about 500,000 people — 20 per cent of the total workforce — with a wage bill in excess of £20 billion annually while union leaders have resisted proposed reforms that would involve job cuts.
McLetchie, Alexander & McLeish - all vilified by SNP for expenses claims until they resigned
SNP Matheson defrauded us & lied - protected & will be whitewashed
Hancock demonised by SNP re sex affair during covid & resigned
SNP covid sex cheats? Protected by “legal reasons”
God help Scotland if Murray Foote is proved right that Operation Branchform fizzles out with no charges
SNP will double down on secrecy, centralising power, disappearing £bns, imposing control on citizens & destroying those who disagree
CEO of Scotland’s Water Industry Commission is just allowed to resign after abusing expenses to pay £77,000 of tax payers money for a Harvard degree.
He should be forced to repay - he’ll benefit, we won’t
No end to corruption in SNP’s public sector
As a solicitor I will accept if Police bring no charges against Sturgeon Murrell or Beattie because they say there’s no evidence of criminality
But does that give me confidence in what the police and our justice system have become under SNP?
@afneil
As a Scots Law solicitor of 43 years I don’t know whether to be more enraged or appalled that
@theSNP
Govt under
@ScotGovFM
Sturgeon and
@COPFS
have so suborned our justice system
What confidence can any of us now have in its impartiality
Beattie was not just treasurer but is also a sitting MSP
Will he have SNP party whip withdrawn by FM Yousaf?
Ferrier did for then only allegation of breach of covid rules
If so, greater pressure on him to suspend SNP membership of Sturgeon and Murrell
@PoliceScotland
Please take this post as a formal complaint against Nicola Sturgeon, John Swinney and others of embezzling tax payers funds to pay for govt cars and drivers for private purposes
Here’s Alex Salmond’s devastating critique of Sturgeon IndyRef2 “Masterplan”
With Indy supporting pals like this, Sturgeon, you don’t need unionist critics!
@HumzaYousaf
For once Humza I entirely agree with you
Big thanks Boris and British Army
Were it left to Humza’s colleagues Nicola and Jeane we’d not have any vax at all, or like Italy would have to wait for scraps from France’s/Germany’s table or like Greece buy what we could from Russia
Sick to death of so much of political “debate” in Scotland being wasted on trans people and their activist support
Trans are less than 0.5% of total population
About time the interests of 99.5% took precedence
If as reported Ld Advocate Dorothy Bain steps aside for Crown Agent john Logie re SNP fraud probe might suggest she sees a potential conflict of interest b/c she couldn’t sanction any investigation/prosecution of FM or Murrell as she is legal adviser to FM/ScotGov
Interesting
I’ve just had a call from

NI ‘fund’ is just a giant Ponzi scheme - contributions in today fund tomorrow’s pensions out. If this were private sector, they’d be jailed - Bernie Madoff got 150 yr term for a $65bn fraud. But successive UK govts pull off a £271bn fraud just like that.
@AgentP22
S.35 Inquiries Act 2005 - offence to destroy documents that a person knows/believes may be required by UK inquiry
Sturgeon was so bloody arrogant she thought she’d totally control Scot inquiry - she never thought for a second that UK Inquiry would have jurisdiction over her
SNP Scotland-
*Train drivers are going back on strike
@CalMacFerries
are wholly unreliable
*Teachers are going on strike
*Rest & Be Thankful won’t be fixed till 2033
*Nurses are going on strike
But Sturgeon still finds £300m for constitutional & foreign affairs - both reserved
I am white. I am almost 70. I am self employed. I have mobility issue. I am not in favour of independence
Do i believe this man will in any way speak for me, or stand up for any of my rights?
No
Equality and the protection of rights are at the very core of my being. I have lived my entire life in Scotland as a minority, often having to fight for my rights. I want there to be no doubt in anyone’s mind, whoever you are, that I will fight to protect all of our rights.
PREDICTIONS
*Murrell be interviewed under caution soon
*Yousaf will withdraw candidacy for leader
*SNP leadership will be halted
*Sturgeon will actually resign as FM
*Scot Gen Election will follow

Because I was born under the Union Flag, because my grandfather fought under it in WW1 trenches, my father flew bombers in RAF IN WW2, I have lived my whole life in QE2’s reign. Because it’s not easy to change the beliefs of a lifetime. Cut me and others like me some slack.

I am a solicitor in East Ayrshire. I work from an office in back garden. I specialise in investment/pension claims, worth currently in excess of £5m. 95% of my clients are in England. Am I a traitor to Scotland? Will SNP vilify me, threaten my life?
I’m with you
@ClootieMcToot

My legal caseload is solely investment & pension claims. If a commercial pension provider had changed the terms of a pension in the manner the Govt has done here then a claim would be a slam dunk certainty. The outcome of the judicial review is awaited.

Auditor Gen could find no evidence at all of who signed ferry contract
Sturgeon suddenly finds email (redacted of course) implicating text pervert Mackay and tells Parlt “It wisnae me”
If Salmond is correct, Sturgeon is toast
PREDICTION
On Humza Yousaf’s surprise election as SNP Leader, then his election by MSPs as FM, Sturgeon will formally resign office of FM
@PoliceScotland
will then contact Sturgeon, an ordinary MSP, & Murrell, now unemployed, to interview them re fraud probe poss under caution
If/when Sturgeon gets the IndRef2 Act passed in Scots Parlt, as she will, then announces a date of an illegal Ref, as it will be W/o a S.30 order from UK Parlt, I will put up £1,000 to fund a legal challenge in Court of Session
Anyone with me?
Please RT
Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to have indyref2 by the end of 2023. But how will she break the deadlock with Boris Johnson saying no? And has she taken legal advice?
@itvnews
I hear that Sturgeon and Freeman - allegedly called “the Shipman Sisters” in certain quarters of NHS - are to be ordered to appear to give evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry

Sturgeon’s debacle never fails to astonish shock and anger me in almost equal measure - but mostly anger
I’ve been a Scots solicitor for almost 44 years. Never thought I’d live to see the day that Scots justice would be so traduced by the most senior people
If ever there was a metaphor for SNP nationalism. Bankrupt businesses and boarded up shops.
But as Sturgeon’s followers are mostly public sector or on benefits their income is guaranteed on tap - they neither understand nor care
That’s “freedom” for you
CONSPIRACY THEORY
@PoliceScotland
asked
@COPFS
for advice on interviewing senior SNPs re fraud probe - but Sturgeon/Murrell not yet been interviewed so far as I know
Then Ld Adv “steps back” from being involved in fraud probe
2 weeks later Sturgeon announces she’ll retire
