@@CreativeCache101 there is no bond now in my opinion we have a Union that placates minoritys in Scotland and Wales to try and keep them in a Union many don't want to be in whilst English concerns and needs are ignored and glossed over.
We need next level woke. It is happening before our eyes, which is fantastic. Reactionary views are on their way out no matter how much the right tries to manufacture culture wars.
Indeed. A few weeks later the big murder tent for a fraud investigation goes up in the garden. Its more likely he was not playing ball with the British state overlords. Its such a farce that their hands are all over it.
Do you just make this shit up? Scotland's chief constable quits after clashes with SNP over 'unsustainable' police funding. Scotland's chief constable has announced his retirement two years earlier than expected after unveiling a report warning SNP government cuts had made policing “unsustainable”
Neoliberalism is the ideology that has brough the world to its knees, creating vast inequality as it was intended to, in order to transfer wealth to the rich. In doing so it has imperilled the existence of the planet. The Scots rightly concluded they wanted to reject it, hence successive SNP election victories. Independence will happen in the end. The extreme right nationalists of England can then fight amongst themselves and ruin the remains of the union, which they have been doing without let up since 1979. No, make that 1900.
The £600Kof SNP party funds is chump change compared with the £Billions of taxpayers' money that the SNP has fritted away to no visible effect, and for which they cannot account for.
Peanuts compared to the "loan" £800,000 to Boris Johnson alone or the billions wasted on track and trace, Downing St parties. The SNP will recover and the daily reminder of brexit 10% inflation, lowest growth in Europe and additional barriers to trade on the horizon.

Well said SNP are racists against the English their hatred is palpable. SNP have destroyed my beautiful country we have been governed by a totalitarian shower of idiots and the media have been complicit in their support of the SNP . I’m glad that at last the blinkers have been lifted.
The initial arrests were merely to gain entry to the house and SNPHQ to search. They have been released RUI whilst that evidence is sorted through (which will take a long time yet as there are no doubt hard drives to forensically examine etc.). Once that's been done, and the evidence evaluated, then they'll be recalled for interview and other arrests made if necessary.

I think her testimony in the Alex Salmond case was spectacularly awful and although she appeared to get away with it, did she really? It seems that every negative remark levelled at her since, seems to have carried more more weight, rightly. Of all the politicians that have had the label of liar aimed at them over the years, she has deserved it the most, a horrible woman.
@Doreen Hollywood Alex Salmond the week before was on the ball with every answer. And that is the point with krankie, she didn't answer a question. Apart from the 52 times she didn't know, couldn't remember, had no recollection, she would begin an answer and within 3 or 4 words give it the "layt me just see" and go off round the houses for what she thought might be long enough and stop. And that statement about whether a meeting was a meeting if it was only three people, that ended with her saying minutes weren't taken at meetings was laughable. But perhaps minutes were taken of her grilling and acted upon. I have not a lot of time for politicians, but some annoy me more than others, enter Nicola.
I can’t understand why the police have not interviewed Murrel, Sturgeon and Beattie at the same time instead the police have given them plenty of warning to get their stories the same . It stinks !!!!!

So you really want them to be guilty of corruption. If they are this will be exposed. If they are not then it says more about those who wanted it to be true.
Yeah, that's why the police sent a SWAT team to dig up the patioof their home . So the police have not been unquestioning and you are gaslighting. What a bore.
When was trust ever realistically in the police? The Met in the 60S, 70s and 80s for example was far more corrupt than it is now - which should tell you something
Sturgeon was what I called the Teflon First Minister when she was I office , as nothing would stick to her . Now I still feel she has that same tag , I sincerely hope Sturgeon is charged along with Murrell and both receive prison sentences. But , I cannot see that happening, she'll have her usual Lapses of Memory again and again..
@@julianshepherd2038 no but fraudulent accounting is a crime -the SNP get huge amounts of public money and are obliged by law to present each year audited accounts signed off by independent auditors as true and fair .When the auditors resign mid year that should send alarm bells ringing and even more so where their resignation has be keep quiet for 6 months .For example re the camper van of it belongs to the SNP as a party producing the V5 would put that suspicion to bed -so why was it not publicly produced .If I were the New auditor I would start by assuming the accounts are fraudulent -that way I am far more likely to detect fraud by regarding every entry as suspicious and particularly the Bank Statement of cash movements .
@@julianshepherd2038 Go away You must be a friend of these lol.. The police were at there house.. If there was proof of what your suggesting the news media circus would of released these details..
Andrew is right, whatever your colour, it is never good for a country for one Party to dominate for so long. It shows the importance of investigative journalism. 'Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely'
The parties that have dominated Scotland recently haven't been voted in by Scottish residents. The reason the SNP will continue to dominate local and national politics is because key decisions are unavailable to them and made by whoever England elects at a GE. Statistically the SNP are the best of a bad bunch at delivering the majority of devolved powers. UK needed a reset but brexit wasn't the answer, for me federalism would have been the best move forward after the 2014 failed independence bid
I think also that the BBC should stop charging for the TV licence as the BBC is not worth the money and I would certainly stop journalists and its all repeats that we are paying a licence fee for
I think it already has in a way, she’s been embarrassed on the world stage, such an ego won’t like that, her reputation is permanently damaged, those pictures of tents etc outside her home won’t be forgotten for a while.
@@margaretwyatt6689well to put it into perspective - everybody loathed Blair (another Scot - when will we learn?) when he left office because of his war mongering but he still managed a knighthood many years later - so I guess there is no chance of Sturgeon being fully held to account - which was probably what her resignation was all about - lies damn lies and politicians - they are all the same things nowadays and perhaps always were
This is outrageous, the £600k was raised for Scottish independence and this is exactly what this money has been spent on. With that lovely camper van, Nicola is completely independent to go anywhere.
can you please elaborate on what was spent on Independence by the SNP as I have been an SNP member for over 49 Years and I have seen nothing done for Independence by the SNP since 2014. I paid into the Independence fund so I would like to know where you you got the idea that it has been spent on Independence.
Patronising bastards too wee too, poor, too thick. That's exactly the attitude that makes many Scottish people want to leave the union. And the more scum like Andrew Neil pile on the superior attitude the more Scottish people are seeing the union for what it is English colonialism and the theft of Scotland's resources and our taxes. The English know that without Scotland's money and resources, their debt of 2.8 trillion pounds will increase to the point of bankrupting England. It's self-evident that Scotland is keeping the UK afloat, or the Westminster government would not oppose Scotland ending the union with England.
Missing £600k, Edinburgh's hideously expensive tram network, new ferries at horrendous cost not yet delivered. Why has it taken so long for sensible Scots to wake up to what's been happening in their country? We may well discover that something similar is happening in the rest of the UK sadly!
Dear Andrew, as a Paisley resident I can confirm the SNP have ruined this once great town. It wasn’t brilliant under Labour but it was ok, but now it is horrendous.
Riddle me this. two people own a house, the police search the house and surrounds for signs of criminal activity, only the husband is arrested, is this sexism if not why not? Why was the woman (Nicola) not only arrested and questioned, is this favouritism, cronyism or just plain old special treatment?
Simple: The initial arrests were merely to gain entry to the house and SNPHQ to search - nothing more at this stage. They have been released RUI whilst that evidence is sorted through (which will take a long time yet as there are no doubt hard drives to forensically examine etc.). Once that's been done, and the evidence evaluated, then they'll be recalled for interview and other arrests made if necessary.
@@karenhastings8561 She needs arresting first for that to happen. Not convinced she will be. Likely already tipped off by police that her pretend husband was going to be arrested hence her resignation, rather than face the ignomy of being forced from high office. I'll be surprised if anything concrete really comes of this, but the shock value and damage already done is long overdue.
She already had many CHATS with the outgoing Chief Constable including a couple of days prior to the raid. It had to be planned to Nicolas Satisfaction, spread rumours that she was hiding Laptops etc. RAID the Ferries sitting unfinished and RAID the Palace in Portugal. Sturgeon is still in charge. Remember how she SHAFTED Alex Salmond, interfering, giving false accusations and WASTING Scottish Government Money.
How I miss Andrew Neil on the telly. His late night political discourse was a joy to watch. Witty, and with a razor sharp intellect, he was just too much for the BBC to handle.
That is small change £13 BILLION a year is sent from UK, that over £2,000 per Scot baby, child or adult, in SUBSIDIES from the rest of the UK. Scotland should have the HIGHEST Standard of Living BUT it is now the LOWEST in UK BUT under Sturgeon/SNP it is NOW THE HIGHEST in Personal Taxation Deaths from Illegal Drugs Deaths from Cancer Deaths from Heart Disease Violent Crimes Depression Where has ALL THE MONEY GONE? BILLIONS not a small trivial £600,000+ Last Year, 2022, the SNP had £700,000 go "missing" and eventually Police Scotland arrived and FOUND the money. It was SIITING, IN CASH, ON THE FLOOR AT SNP HQ. That is NOTHING to do with this missing money! Remember when the SNP was "short of money", before the "missing £700,000" was highlighted, Peter and Nicola kindly gave a LOAN to the SNP of £107,620. NOW this was about the same time that Peter was buying a Palace in Portugal. Nicola never thought it odd that as well as buying a property Peter had over £100K to lend to her SNP. FORGOT to mention this despite legally required to do so!
"Scotland is the only place in the world where the comedians are actually PART of the establishment. In other countries, comedians and satirists mock their politicians, but not in Scotland. Godley, McCabe, Boyle, Kholi, Storrie, Smith to name but a few."
Yes I have good friends who voted for Independence and are so relieved now that they didn’t get independence, especially as at last their eyes are open to the state of Scotland under SNP !
What should frighten people in Scotland is that these people under other circumstances would be running an independent country. Corrupt Scottish politicians running their own country would be a nightmare.
Nobody but you listens to the rambelling of Andrew Neil. He is a nobody a dinasour extinct in Scotland but still living in France preaching to the English fake news daily.
The woman and her cronies have completely wrecked Scotland, so this so-called scandal is just a touch of icing on the cake. Education in Scotland has evolved from highly respectable to avoidable at all costs, for example. And as for the current leader, it’s like watching a very poorly written sitcom.
As an Englishman in his 60s Scottish Education was always lauded as the TOP in the UK. Indeed 20 years ago near TOP in Europe. NOW bottom in UK and near bottom in Europe. That is true for everything in Scotland under SNP Government. Nicolas only claim to success is the "Free Cardboard Box with Babies Essentials" that Nicola said on TV, "and the Box can be used as a Cot". SNP Proud of encouraging young parents to put there baby to sleep in a Cardboard Box. That is Nicolas FAME "SNP ENCOURAGES SCOTS to Put Their Baby in a Cardboard Box" I think any other Political Party can use that on their Election Campaigns from now on. Ladbrokes will not give Odds on How Long in Prison Nicola will get! I was going for 12 Years

So you like ignorant, small minded, loud mouthed bigots who vilify large sections of the population without any evidence whatsoever ? That’s a novel but courageous position to adopt.
If you live in Scotland you could see this coming. It all started to fall to bits when Salmond had his fall from grace and the meddling by the SNP in the police investigation. People don’t really hear how bad the SNP are as it seems the media give them a pass but people are noticing and people are asking questions.
It's what happens when you DEMAND more that your fair share and get used to receiving it unquestioned year after year after year in return for bugger all except abuse.
Such a joy to listen to old ‘Brillo’ especially when it comes to a SNiPers takedown! I do think the word Schadenfreude was coined for this sort of thing 😂👍
The MET or another force should have been tasked with this investigation, a long time ago. Sturgeon and Murrell were getting away with anything and being tipped off by police sources.
I don't think Nichola has much to worry about. She is a perfect fit for a job in the EU. After all aren't the police investigating them for corruption as well.
Nonsense. He was truly nasty towards people who decided not to get the experimental covid vaccines. I was already weary of this man. His cruelty over the ‘pandemic’ was the nail in the coffin.
The Overlords will ensure that nobody is found guilty. The previous PM Sturgeon will soon have a cushy job in the UN where she can do much more damage. The Sottish people are obviously quite happy with the criminally of the SNP. A government is an expression of the soul of the people.
I remember how animated Andrew Neil got when he knew of people who refused to get vaccinated against that little virus…yet he talks about “freedom” being withheld via the snp in Scotland.
I’ve no idea if there’s a connection with the current troubles of the SNP- but the strange way in which the construction of the Edinburgh rapid transit system was mismanaged is surely an indication that something has been seriously wrong north of the border for years.
This (younger) American has watched-and loved-Andrew Neil since 2015, when I came across his grilling of then-First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon……Feels like deja vu….
Understandable I suppose , those who have left Scotland perhaps worry independence may make things more difficult should they wish to return . Living here in Scotland , apart from the media focus , most of us aren't affected and SNP are still polling way ahead of the unionist partys . Don't pay too much attention to Andrew Neil, he's a tory through and through but lives in S of France safe from their influence.
When Sturgeon first appeared, one of my Scottish friends of over fifty years said, “None of us can bear that mendacious little tinpot dictator. She has only one possible attribute: as far as I know, she isn’t Salmond. She’ll meet a sticky end when her astonishing arrogance is punctured.” And Lo! It came to pass. Poor Scotland: it now has someone even dimmer, if that’s possible: but probably not for long. 😥😥
Completely agree on the comments about the Scottish media. No one ever tries to pin down the SNP on the important economic questions. They simply get a free lunch every time.
@@martinpatterson3417 The TV media in particular. The bbc positively indulge them. If they want to achieve independence they need to be entirely honest with the Scottish people about the immediate need for higher levels of taxation, higher borrowing costs, the significant economic and treasury risks that could lead to devaluation of cash and assets, and the need for significant levels of immigration. Instead they want to con people into believing in a fantasy project promising milk and honey.
Oh dear another sycophant! You need to dig a little bit! You will probably come to the conclusion that the political class ate pretty much all up to their eyes in it!!
Aw give us peace , your stupid st georges cross is a bloody middle Eastern motif representing the green man , St George a templar Cross.

So Rishi will be feeling right at home . Some of us want a republic , can't because the majority are plebs catholics SNP supporters and protestants Unionist loyalists all brainwashed fantasist. Probably like yourself .
The SNP want independence from the UK and want to re-join the EU. Being part of the EU means your are NOT independent. There are rules to follow. Not to mention the single currency issue.
As both an SNP voter since 90s and fan of Mr Neil for about the same time I feel incredibly let down by the SNP this last few years. Indi is further away than ever sadly
I wonder just how many of the alleged 4,000 “British” citizens that are supposed to be in Sudan really are British. I doubt that any are white or, are Christian or have even resided in the United Kingdom for any length of time. All those interviewed by the media were dark skinned, had heavy accents and all were Muslim. What are we really doing sending our military to evacuate a bunch of people that do not embrace our culture or our values. The British government were forced into taking this action by the media.
Watching this total implosion is one of the few bright highlights amidst the utter destruction being wrought on this nation by the lunatics in Filthminster.
What a load of gleeful jibberish. Sunak already made a fool of himself by taking the piss out of the SNP Westminster representative, and the Party’s supposed problems , the day before Dominic Draab ‘resigned’ after being found guilty of bullying. He should know about karma.
Ahh the first sign of the English boot has arrived. But not to worry it appears that the Scottish people Lake the currage to deal with this and move on to the Republic of Scotland. The English 1000 point's the Scottish zero points.
@Tab Ford Nearly a decade ago. This does not negate the argument for and inevitability of another one. If independence is so unpopular, unionists can be relaxed about the result as a foregone conclusion unless they fear the outcome. Independence is bound to happen- try to engage with that reality.
