Nationalist is corrupt and uses nationalism to blame the ‘others’ for investigations into them and deflect any criticism.
Whats new?
Note to Starmer: don’t do crimes and Labour will form the next government with a big majority.
lol
Nationalism: not even once
OMG! This is insane, but not surprising after her husband was arrested for corruption too. Two years ago I would never have thought the Nationalist independence movement in Scotland would die a death of corruption and arrests.
What a disgrace SNP has turned out to be. It’s like house of cards.
How is Sturgeon arrested but not Johnson? he arguably caused 200K British deaths from shambolic covid policy
Jesus Johnson and sturgeon in less than a week British politicians are in a messy situation. The first minister for wales better take care.
Her downfall truly needs to be studied.

British politics has just became an absolute shitshow. I never liked the SNP but atleast they looked like they actually had good intentions but now they’re just like the rest of the parties, full of shit.
The real political concern is this implicates everyone else in the SNP. Even if nothing comes of this investigation, it was clear for years that something dodgy was going on at the top, yet everyone just happily turned a blind eye to it. The Financial Times did a really great analysis;
>Ignore for a moment the fact it’s a story about the SNP. Imagine instead that it is about, say, a charity you’re considering a large donation to. You’re told that for the best part of a decade, the chief executive and the chair have been married. You know that the charity’s former treasurer resigned two years ago saying he did not have the necessary information to do his job.

>Long before it was revealed last week that the charity’s auditors had in fact resigned six months ago, or the organisation’s current treasurer had been arrested, you would have become concerned that this was not a charity with any prospect of being featured in Good Governance Weekly.

>That’s the political problem facing Humza Yousaf and the SNP more broadly. It’s not a question so much of what he knew, specifically, or what may or may not happen as a result of the police investigation the whole SNP is facing. (Treasurer Colin Beattie has now been released without charge, pending further investigation.)

>The core issue is that we already had more than enough publicly available information to suggest that the SNP’s internal workings were not fit for purpose and were badly in need of reform.

Neither he, nor any of the politicians who could credibly replace him as leader — not Kate Forbes, not Angus Robertson, not John Swinney, not Màiri McAllan — can avoid the fact they are, at best, stunningly incurious and at worst actively complicit in an organisational model that is so far from best practice it would need to recruit Nasa to reach it.***

>And that’s before whatever happens as a result of the investigation into the party happens. Peaks and troughs
I remember when she announced her resignation a ton of people were insisting it’s because she was “tired” or “burned out”. Definitely not related to any upcoming corruption charges.
Get Fucked lol
2 Party leaders in a row arrested has to be record right?
Hamza quickly deleting all social media just in case he once said something offensive on there.
Wtf
I genuinely respect Sturgeon as a politician. I don’t agree with alot of her opinions but she seemed honest and genuine. But this all feels murky. Even if no crime has been committed she knows better then to allow the assumption
Edit – ha little Britain out in force today 😉
MI6 claims another life
oh so that’s why she resigned.
I would not have suspected her to be corrupt but it will likely make the next election interesting depending on if charges are produced

This thread should be interesting.
Sounds fishy.
