    Jackie Baillie today has compared it to the Carmichael case. Well as far as I understand it he has admitted he has lied whereas Natalie has denied any wrongdoing.

    I think she misses Magrit. Sorry, couldn't resist....:rotfl:

    I'm confused

    it seems that 110% of all scots voters support the SNP but they always buy unionist anti SNP newspapers that tell lies about the SNP

    why is that?

    If I remember right Kezia was implicated in money going missing from the Labour coffers as well ( not positive though)

    You remembered wrong.

    These allegations are extremely serious and I hope the police can get a conclusion quickly.

    I will be astounded if she is guilty of any wrongdoing. It beggars belief that she would put her career on the line and steal from an organisation she is a founder member of.

    What I cannot understand is that accountants have no doubt been trying to get to the bottom of the missing money and have failed so what will the police be able to do that they cannot? I can only think have access to bank accounts that may leave a trail. Also it surely cannot be true that only Natalie had access to these funds. Surely any monies withdrawn or cheques written would need a counter signature.

    The police have powers, rightly, to look at transactions that accountants can't.

    If someone has been submitting false invoices, a common fraud, then a company accountant could only suspect something is amiss. The police can look at the company submitting the invoices.

    You're doing that thing again Clapton, you know where people just start to ignore the nonsense you write. Sometimes you do write things worth reading but then you have to go and spoil it! Grrr!

    I don't buy any newspapers, I read the news online through a variety of sources including the BBC.

    but why don't you answer the essential point

    the SNP claim a wide support in scotland : a clear majority already and growing by the day
    but a totally biased anti-SNP press

    so why do the SNP supporters not buy SNP loving newspapers and so can cover the truth in full?

    There is one pro Indy newspaper in Scotland and I believe it is quite widely supported not only by SNP supporters. The rest are pro Union and report as such. Maybe if you lived here you'd see it a little differently.

    I'm simply hi-lighting the pro union stance when reporting stories.

    my question is : the majority of scots support the SNP : why do they buy the pro unionist press?

    If she is guilty I hope they throw the book at her ... I've had enough of liars and thieves ... no matter what colour

    But let's see if she is first ... the whole Thompson thing seems to have been some sort of misunderstanding.. this may be as well

    Ruth on the indy ref night wasn't however ... and neither was Carmichael ..
