Karma , Nicola sturgeon is a disgrace to the Scottish and humza is no better
Mac Humza?
She has known all along that her husband is a thief. Guilty as suspected.
I hope this doesn't affect her book sales or regular appearances on
Loose Women and other lucrative
gigs...?
leenicholls2845 But do you blame Hamas?
she was in charge -- he just followed orders
There is no way Mr Sturgeon committed these acts on his own. Has to be more to come surely?!
ask the USA if we can rent a few "rooms" in their island holiday camp . Gitmo or the cuban hideaway,
He has yet to be proven he committed any of them… remember how our laws work
Hi name is Peter Murrell.
@@stevedempsey1954 sense of humour by pass I see. His name is really Peter McNippy Sturgeon😀😀
I always think the first minister looks like Sadam Hussain 😅
Where did Yusuf, get the money from to get family members out of Palestinian. Just asking. 🤔 🇬🇧
Hopefully that will be investigated in due course.
Humza's family aren't poor.
They ain't Tory rich but they could raise a good amount.
That needs to be investigated but it won’t because turkey was involved
We know without any consultation, he personally rerouted funds that were ringfenced for charities in Pakistan & Malawi via UNICEF, and sent them to UNWRA. Then, hey presto, his family were suddenly released in the first batch of refugees/escapees from Gaza to Egypt.
All of this miraculously occurred after him & his wife met with the Turkish PM in Qatar - the base of several Hamas leadership figures
@@julianshepherd2038 OR Labour rich Lets not forget Corbyn Raynor Starmer etcare millionaires why only say Tory rich ? Biased perhaps Labour voter ?
The SNP had their chance and wasted it . Who could trust them ever again .
The truth will come out soon and more arrests no doubt.
An arrest is not a conviction
@@julianshepherd2038 . Absolutely true , I would never suggest it was . Arrests are all about questioning , charges are made when the police feel they have evidence to do so.
The court will then decide guilt or innocence. Fact is money has gone missing and it wasn’t a magpie took it ;)
@@julianshepherd2038 The way the SNP were going, that's exactly where we were heading.
15 years of Vanity projects rather than preparing for Independence has resulted in a £ 20 BILLION budget deficit - £ 000,000's of ring-fenced monies misused, lost or unaccounted for.
Yet........... ,@@julianshepherd2038
Why is sturgeon still permitted to sit as an mp as she is still under investigation?
She’s an MSP (Member of the Scottish Parliament) not an MP.
Shes not an MP, she is an MSP.
It’s no different in Westminster…loads of MPs have sat as MPs whilst being investigated for crimes. Holyrood would be no different.
That would mean the resignation of 80% of the Tories.
@@LordWalsalliantrue the SNP MP who travelled down to London and back whilst knowingly having Covid carried on.
Humza out
The Murrells will probably agree with you because it’s been nothing but heat from the cops for them since Humza got into power 🤣
Nicola Sturgeon must have known........
Of course she did , your husband can’t suddenly start rash spending without you knowing where the money came from.
SNP - Get them out. Their record is a disgrace and an embarrassment. NOT TO BE TRUSTED. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Further arrests, that has to include Tory fund user MP Mark Menzies to pay bad people. Nah, thought not. Or for the £2.6mn missing unexplained Tory funds from the 2019 election. Nah, same.
I'll bet her memory has a miraculous recovery, if and when she is brought to task!!!!!!!
Where's the snp motor home. 😂😂😂
Impounded by the police two years ago.
Election battle buses are only legit if they are Unionist.
The SNP were hoping their luck would change after Stodjin-gate, then along came Hamad Useless... What bad luck.
She must have been aware what was going on at the very least when she was still First Minister.
She has to go down with him , she knew everything that was going on as she had to sign off everything , do us a favour and take Useless down with you
Jail her
For what ?
No charges.
@@monkeyface6139Tretgory for starters.
The SNats are going to go into full meltdown when the truth comes out.
The clan won’t allow that , she’s one of the clan .
Oh no the Noo, wee jimmy krankie is gonna get busted.
Popeye.
Where did Humza get the money from to get family out of Palestinian
From your poll tax.
Belongs in prison
The tories sure do
Yep with one of her male ladies she likes so much .
She’s bunking up with big Isla Bryson hopefully .
She said he should be in a women’s prison .
Drake ford should be joining them
@@nickygriffiths605
More charges on the horizon for the SNP I suspect. Con artists the lot of them 😂
He looks so smarmy with his greasy hair wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him what’s happening with his brother in law is he still being investigated
he looks like a nasty piece of work as he is
Nicked
They should not be shocked or bewildered even MSP’s were left out of meetings where no minutes were taken, a high level minister was excluded from the gold meetings and as I say no minutes for other ministers to find out what was being discussed.
So the add to that accounts were not available to those who’s job was accounting, I think 2 resigned as they were unable to do their job as the necessary documents were withheld.
I think if this is being properly investigated there will be more arrests over and above the three already in the frame.
So Nicola’s lapdogs must be twitching every time they hear a car door close or see a police vehicle within their local area.
As i understand it, this issue is about SNP party funds, they should also doing an audit of the Scottish government financial records.
In Wales, we have an appalling labour administration who are aided and abetted by the Welsh Nationalists.
Could be worse, it could be the Tories funneling hundreds of millions of pounds of public money (OUR MONEY) into the pockets of their donors and their chums, no questions asked.
Labour are just appalling allround
But Welsh Labour are top dogs with 25 years of failure to prove how superb they are not at Government. Can't deny it, come and see for yourself!
She will be going down with him. She can't not have known everything he was doing. Hes trying his best to take the fall for both of them but it will all come out soon enough.
What does the current SNP leader have to say tho? He's very quiet....
I agree but if CPS Scotland don't believe they have a strong enough case on Sturgeon, no charges will come. The husband will take all the heat!
Shall we have a trial or just go by the British Nationalist media.
NICOLIAR STURGEON WILL LOVE GOING DOWN AND SO WILL PETER THEY WILL BOTH LOVE BEING WITH FRIENDS.
Either she is guilty and he is covering for her or he is guilty and she is covering for him or they are both guilty - it will be interesting to see how far the police will go and if they will be prosecuted and end up with prison time.
Everyone assuming this will go to Court. Fiscal has yet to decide if enough evidence to raise proceedings.
Humza, your as guilty as the rest of them
Of course there will bemore. Once Murrel realises he's taking the fall for all the others, he's bound to give them up.
It's one of those things that's both very surprising & not surprising at all.
Sturgeon clearly always had a massive ego. She never listened to others, she loved the sound of her own voice, she celebrated the downfall of others. She enjoyed hogging the microphone telling us all what to do when we were locked down. I suspected she was nasty behind it all. But it's still surprising in a weird way to be proved right.
I'd imagine she'll get the same charge as her husband. No chance he was acting alone. Also the leader of the SNP in Westminster who recently stepped down - you know, the one that was a bully to the great Charles Kennedy - I wonder if time will shine some light on his possible involvement, too. He didn't quit so suddenly for nothing.
@wattbenj Charles Kennedy was an alcoholic who drank himself to death despite the pleadings of his wife and son. So don't fckng start.
"Other papers are reporting" Well that will be alright then!
From an American perspective after years of Trump, a politician not commenting on ongoing police investigation just seems so quaint and innocent.
It is the law in Scotland.
Also your legal system is a joke.
It is neo slavery
Donald for president ❤.
Your opinion isn’t needed , your country is a mess with your president, worry about your own gaff
We all know kranky is in up to her kneck in this, coming the innocence, when not only the director of her party, but her husband too, come on.
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
And Humza is taking them backwards
"Husband"? 🤣🤣🤣
Looks more like Grandpa we all deep down know his not her "husband" in the real sense
It's all Westminsters fault, that's including the weather.
I am sure Westminster would not encourage the police to raid the SNP with the press invited or spend nearly three on it before a charge was brought
@@julianshepherd2038 Yep. That would never happen.
BS blaming Westminster when they are part of it - SNP has control of the public purse - the people of Scotland have been robbed cos of SNP's hand in the till!!!
THE SPECIAL NEEDS PARTY HAVE ONLY GOT THEMSELVES TO BLAME.
@@julianshepherd2038are you calling police Scotland corrupt because they are investigating ?
Anything to say before sentence is heard ? Adjoining cells please !! 😂😂😂
Humza's combover is getting more like Turmps everiy day.
Hard to tell their hair apart😂
Trump has some unlike Peado Joe
It's all fandabby foookin dosey 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Lets not let his arrest deflect anything from the hate law situation.
She would have to sign it off
You're not quite understanding this are you.
I think embezzlement implies that the money was taken Without permission.
Nothing was 'signed -off'
Hilarious 😂
@@monkeyface6139 and she never knew. Aye right
Remember the DNR orders Surgeon signed.
Yes , lest we forget
Useless says Senior figures in the SNP are in “ Shock” ……..what world has he been living in for the last 2 years, Where is the £600K ???
Like Captain Renaud in ' Casablanca ' ??
" I'm shocked to discover that gambling is going on here..! "
Wearing a tartan tie does not a Scotsman make.
😂First😂 Minster 😂 standards has surely fallen in Scotland. Geeeeeeeez
Well they weren’t very high in the first place.
The Krankies are a team, so she will be as guilty as him.
So all husbands and wives are co-conspiritors ?
She allegedly signed off the accounts, that’s probably why she was arrested last year.
He will serve his sentence in the motor home 😂
Must admit, I'm enjoying this.
What goes around ...
Mind who you stab in the back😅
Peter's face as the cop explains ; " anything you DO say may be taken down
in evidence and .......etc etc " 😂😂
A right bunch of Scottish lawyers…….deal with at arms length
What a surprise more bent MPs
Nicola knew about that
Interested to know what is going on
The Electoral Commission thought the accounts were fine but the police have studied them for 1004 days.
What's your take on this @julianshepherd2038? It's an honest question.
In other words, burble burble burble burble, burble burble burble burble, burble burble.
or as David Cameron famously said on live TV [2 weeks before being replaced by Ms May] :
"There is no place for the honest in British Politics" !
Every time he opens his mouth out pours lies and more lies, this person is incapable of telling the truth, if you asked him what time of the day it was, you'd have to see outside to check if was dark or light.
NS "I had no idea, van ? what van?" yea right
Im loving watching this unfold.
If he's been arrested, his wife is complesant. Should be both in jail.
For there to be three authorised persons acting as signatories on the party chequebook, and with two signatures at any time being required to authorise any issuance of a cheque, it seems implausible that the suspected party may have been able to act alone and without the knowledge of at least one other signatory?
God is judging these people for the vile laws they have passed.
If only our police down south were so keen to investigate and prosecute political corruption and theft!
Not when the Tories are involved.
You mean like they are doing with LABOYS Raynor
Labour? Scotland? Bring it on
I'm glad this is happening. It confirms what I always felt about the SNP: it's basically Scottish UKIP. The same mindset, the same dumb blind bigotry, and run by the same mediocrities.
Knock knock - ye in Krankie ? Yer comin doon the station wi uz !
I understand that Nicola doesn’t want her husband to live with her for the time being and has suggested that he lives in one of his luxury motor homes ……and Angela Rayner has told him he can park it in front of one of her primary residences.
Arrest her, try her, jail her, end of
Wasn’t this guy in Still Game?
Crooks
Shocked and bewildered are they, didn't know Walt Disney was part of SNP. Imagine what they must be on to even say this sort of thing, must be good gear ,difficult Sturgeon says noooooo there is another one uttering balderdash, a wifey knows fine well what hubbie is up to, at least that is how normal couples work, a re they so different.
She often said she was the one running Scotland and SNP. Her choice of a very close friend of hers the man now in charge, would surely have knowledge of things more than others inside the SNP party, after all he is the continuity man of the Mr and Mrs Morrell, now he is saying different, like the wind for ever changing, or maybe changing when it suits, trying now to dotch his heroine/ Sturgeon, funny thing with him he insults his country men etc right wing etc he called them all. Now he insults there memory trying to say he is his own man. We all think down here he should just quietly shut the door and walk away, for many reasons, just go away because he fits the nickname the Scottish have given him indeed Mr U ?.
If only they knew about the arrest, they could of disappeared for a long holiday in the Motor Home 😅
VOTE REFORM
Couldn't even sort out a ferry service. Why are people still supporting them.
Because they don't dump human waste into our rivers, lochs and beaches.
Take a look at what the Tories have failed to do since 2010. Their incompetence, stupidity and outright corruption dwarfs anything the unionist British establishment could dig up on the SNP.
They couldn't run a bath never mind a country.🤡
Good
Krankie will still say she had no knowledge her husband was fiddling
Jail awaits 2
Peter Murrell has been charged with being in possession of an offensive wife. 😂
And before they Union of the Crowns, the Penguin Text A Monarchy Transformed suggests that Scotland was ruled by small fiefdoms therein like Satrapies. Good word Satrapies.
Krankie be next 😂
Power corrupts Absolote power corrupts Absolutely...
Thank God they are help to accountability and if found guilty the both serve 10 years each
Oh dear, who believes any of this.
Nothing will happen to sturgeon.
Something tells me there’s more to this. Much more to come out.
Will Sturgeon be going to a male prison?
well shes dpes talk a load of ol b,,l,,,x
Hmm....she still CLAIMS to be a woman.....? 🤔🤔
Pigeons coming home to roost. And it's not before time !
❤
So. Are the Lord Advocate/Crown Office Procurator Fiscal Service going to get away with sitting on this indefinitely? Are Nicola Sturgeon and Colin Beattie going to 'get off'?
You normally find more than one person is aware when monies go missing. Are more arrests likely ?
What’s happening here? Is Dumza auditioning for the World Gurning Championships 😅😉
She is so guilty👍
Jesus, is there anyone in politics that isn't buying luxury goods with taxpayer's money?
So the head of the party and the chief treasurer were in a relationship, a recipe for corruption. Who on earth allowed this to happen?
Jimmy Krankie!
Only Scotland could care about a mother in laws caravan and trivialities such as this.....whilst In England we have millions going missing and whole government departments in the pockets of goodness knows who !
Excuse me?
Not as Trivial as a man eating a piece of cake 600k Plus gone missing is trivial ! Are you rich like Starmer ?
It's millions up here top do you think it's only 600k 😂😂😂10 mill minimum, diverting the gullibles money
" Scotty ! Set Deflector Shields to
maximum. ! "
' Aye, aye Captain.! '
When he tells lies he speaks out of the side of his mouth ...tell myych Humza.
The annoying thing is that she will have the time of her life in a womens' prison.
She is as guilty as her husband, but for some reason untouchable up here in Scotland,
It's difficult for her with the police investigation?
What about how difficult for us it was under all these years of destruction and devastation at the hands of that vile creature
The fall of Queen Nicola 🤨🤨🤨.....and well deserved too.👍
As an American born of Scottish parents who had to follow them in the south to ensure translation services, I love seeing a Scottish Indian and imagining how his kids might have to translate for him when he visits India. Love Scotland, Love US, love all the commonwealth countries that mixed up our dialects so wonderfully.
Aren't Sturgeons Protected, WWF?
Smug Sturgeon has had the smirk wiped off her face. She showed her true colours when she “abandoned” her Mentor, Alex Salmond. Karma. Politically, she is finished. I doubt the SNP will get many votes on 2nd May. She has ruined the Party 😖
This guy's fingerprint is definitely in this whole embezzlement cover up.
Wait till their out of power,The brown stuff will really hit the fan.
