Nicola Sturgeon urged to publish written statement to Police Scotland after Peter Murrell jailed for 5 years
We now know that Peter #Murrell was stealing from the #SNP since at least 2010, probably earlier. We know that he proposed to, and married, Nicola #Sturgeon in 2010. So he was almost certainly stealing from the party before he married her.
Say what you will about Sturgeon, I believe that she was honestly committed to her party. I cannot believe she knew about his thefts, at least until just before she resigned.
There's something very psychologically dark and disturbing there.

Why prison?
#PeterMurrell led away after being jailed for 5 years & 3 months over #SNP embezzlement. https://i.stv.tv/4eXYriL
No surprise. It fits #sentencing guidelines for a major theft and deep betrayal of trust by a very senior person.
This is a serious crime, but it's a non-violent crime. #Prison brutalises people, and destroys lives.
Non-violent crimes should get non-violent sentences. Why not say 1,000 hours of community service instead of each year in prison?
#LaraBird is the new #SNP MP for Arbroath & Broughty Ferry. Before her oath, Bird said:
“I take this oath only so that I can serve the people of Arbroath & Broughty Ferry. My first allegiance is, and always will be, the sovereign people of 🏴 Scotland.” 👏👏
Then when swearing her oath to King Charlie3, she crossed her fingers. 👍
AFAICS, most SNP MPs do something similar. But AFAIK no Labour or English MPs qualify their oath.
It's long past time for more anti-monarchism.
