Not a dry eye in the hoose!

[murraymints]

neither should they ! more to follow !

[naomi24]

I wonder what their loyal followers are thinking?

[murraymints]

Bravehearters needed a good shake!

When those under investigation are cleared without a stain on their character will those who set it in motion be questioned about their motives?

[Hazlinny]

So much more to follow -oh yes!

And the rest ! Watch this space

//When those under investigation are cleared without a stain on their character//

Have they been 'cleared'? As I understood it they are released pending further investigation which just means plod want more time than the arrest allows them.

Of course it must be remembered that being arrested does not mean you are guilty.

The Daily Express story, if you actually read it, says that the Murrell family, initially Peter's parents, have owned a villa in Portugal for many years. No story in fact.

[anneasquith]

Nor should they .

The problem is though the "no smoke without fire" brigade will now completely obscure everything with this. The new FM will get this thrown at him all the time so he won't be able to get his programme across. The SNP will be damaged a lot by this.

What a pity "Old Bill Scotland" were not in charge of investigating The Billions of £s from tax payers money that was trousered by Boris's Cronies, during covid, on fake ppe equipment That had to be destroyed because like Boris they were useless.

I couldnt agree more Gully, but that is not the topic here. Raise a thread to discuss it if you want.

[Peter Pedant]

I like Gully
I think he says sensible things
and people just refute it by saying something like 'no you old fool' or other persuasive variants
see above

Calvinists with their hands in the till, I am shocked as a Roman
and in Easter week, sort of
and dominy, did ya gate yurrrrr thirrrrty pieces of sulvurrrrrr?

[youngmafbog]

Asking someone to raise their own thread is not refuting anything PP.

[webbo3]

the SNP will soon be be renamed HMP.

[maggiebee]

Colin Beattie has been released without charge.

// I wonder what their loyal followers are thinking? //

Probably the same as the loyal followers of any party/person that's clearly guilty of wrongdoing. A fawning refusal to see the truth, or admit to seeing it.

yes, I see the Scottish Tories assailing the SNP for being in total meltdown. Good to have an expert opinion, I suppose.
