Sturgeon resigns

[qigong chimp]

Did you steal that from a different thread?

Agreed, it's had a recent outing elsewhere, but no.

It was always framed as a "potential fraud investigation". It looks like the investigation is still ongoing, and press reports are limited - presumably because the NCA are keeping everything under wraps at the moment. The investigation covers off shore and internationally registered companies so it's going to be much more complex than Peter Murrell's shoddy accounting.

Well that's quite a dynamic shift from what you said earlier when you said this!

How could it? Mone has not been accused of doing anything illegal (just immoral).
The SNP have a legal investigation going on looking at possible misappropriation of funds.

Pretty sure if the Murrells have been tazzing around the Highlands in it, there will be some ANPR camera records of its movements here and there.

Indeed it transpires that there are ANPR camera records. I saw some earlier.

Not really. Companies owned by Mone''s family are being investigated, not Mone personally. She has taken great steps to claim that she has no involvement in the companies.

What do we reckon about the £100k motor home? Genuinely a SNP 'battle bus' or bought for holidays round Loch Lomond?

Surprised the journos haven't checked the reg with the DVLA to see how many miles it's done per year. It's blurred out on photos I've seen but they probably know the reg. If they'd been off picnicking in it regularly you would think the neighbours would have dobbed them in. Or someone would have seen them eating sandwiches by a pile of sand in a lay by at least.

I didn’t see/hear this personally, but, one of my drinking pals claims he saw a news item where neighbors (of granny) claimed Motorhome had not moved for over 12 months.

As an aside, didnt look like a £100k Motorhome to me.

I reckon we should focus on the camper-van, and not on Baroness Mone's yacht.

Does wee cranky and/or her husband have a share in Mone’s yacht too?

£110,000 apparently.

Still looks pretty cramped for a meth lab.

She ought to, as should you and I, assuming we're all UK taxpayers.

 

[monkers]

I can easily imagine that Murrell and Sturgeon could afford to buy that motorhome themselves from earnings without being on the take.

Barrowman and Mone though - no chance - they've ripped off us taxpayers.

 

[Rusty Nails]

She ought to, as should you and I, assuming we're all UK taxpayers.

In that case can I reserve it for a week in July?

Edinburgh trades followed by Glasgow fair. Booked up solid for the next 50 years.

You're like woodlouse, there but have no positive impact on society and slither around in the background until someone lifts a stone.

Yes, most definitely a UK Taxpayer, I thing I will go for a little sail this weekend, get away from this rain

Au contraire.
Woodlice are very useful creatures.

They recycle woody materials, enabling it to be further broken down by other smaller critters, thus aiding the creation of good humus, upon which we all depend.

And they don't slither - they have legs to creep about upon.
