Nicola Sturgeon’s husband re-arrested

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “The matter remains active for the purposes of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 and the public are therefore advised to exercise caution if discussing it on social media.

Yes indeed.

There's a similar thread

Apparently he has now been charged with embezzlement of SNP funds.

How very sad.

I often wonder why people in such positions, I’m not speaking of NS’s husband specifically, rather more of people in positions of power where they have the opportunity to embezzle money, I often wonder why they do it. They’re already well paid but still feel the needs to embezzle money. It’s not uncommon.

Greed. For power and everything that goes with it. Many seem to think that they are the law, therefore it doesn’t apply to them. I sometimes wonder just how many in ‘top’ positions are squeaky clean. Probably not so many, sadly.

Although denied and defended by some on here, it’s quite obviously the real reason for her shock resignation.

Going slightly off-piste, businessman Frank Hester must wonder what was the point of that whopping donation to Conservative Party funds - 10 millions - only for Rishi to forget to include him on his recent Easter Honours list. You would think that the PM could have spared a measly MBE........

I note that you also wrote this comment on the other thread.
As a Scot, but not an SNP supporter, I thought Nicola Sturgeon did a good job during the pandemic.
That does not mean, that I have denied nor defended, I was quite annoyed when I read that comment.

Embezzlement is a crime, regardless of who you are or who your partner is.
A sorry tale indeed.

Sorry tickingbird! I confused the two threads!😊 You have only posted on one.

Probably because I was so annoyed at your comment.

I note that you also wrote this comment on the other thread.

Which other thread??

Sorry, I’ve just read your following post.

I do, however, stand by my post. I don’t know why it annoyed you so much. The resignation is obviously linked to the investigation.

I believe this is all a witch-hunt harassing good people the proof will be in the pudding as they say. Independence nis growing day by day.

Obviously the reignation is linked and if found guilty, he should be punished.
However, I think your comment was an unnecessary dig at some posters and doesn't really add anything to the thread.

To be honest, I haven't noticed anyone defending nor denying, what he has allegedly done.
Please note, the use of the word allegedly, for this is an active case and we must be careful what we say.

Well just because you haven’t noticed doesn’t mean anything and you’re obviously cross because you support NS.

FWIW I wasn’t having a dig at any particular poster and I never mentioned Mr Sturgeon or what he has allegedly done. When the story first broke there were posters that attempted to dismiss suggestions this was the reason for the resignation.

Methinks you’re a trifle touchy regarding the matter.

Please read my previous post. I have stated I DO NOT support the SNP, but thought she did a good job during the pandemic!

How unpleasant.

Good grief, unpleasant???

Did she know beforehand and is that the reason for her sudden resignation? I would think so but who knows ? Personally I couldn’t stand her but she was strong, I’ll give her that.

Who's next ? 😁

Of course! Was there ever any doubt?

Ah! When you support a Party any wrongdoing is dismissed as a ‘witch hunt’
How very convenient.

And the proof isn’t in the pudding, but in the eating of it.

‘Good people’ are not usually arrested for embezzlement.
