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.

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.

Ahem two pro indy papers ... I picked up my Yestiny badge on Sunday

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

I genuinely have no idea. Even before the referendum was on the agenda I didn't buy newspapers. Occasionally my mum asks me to pick her 2 dailies up for her.( DR & The Sun) I am mortified to buy them! their reporting is utter sensationalist tosh but many still like to read that sort of tripe. These 2 are on a par with NOTW.

simple questions are sometimes the hardest to answer

why do SNP supporters mainly buy unionist anti SNP newspapers?

why is that so difficult to answer?

SNP MPs without the whip are now Scotland's second biggest party in the House of Commons. ( twitter joke)

You'd need to find one who does, might have a job on your hands. I've no idea of circulation but I believe it has dropped dramatically.

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 ..

There is a process that needs to be gone through. Obviously someone has done something bad: perhaps the accountant has messed up, perhaps this woman has had her pay pal password compromised (being stupid isn't a crime, generally speaking) or perhaps she's had her fingers in the till.

I have every faith in the ability of the Scottish justice system to be able to resolve this.

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?

Investigate beyond the boundaries of the organisation itself. The quote suggests that questions have been asked but not answered satisfactorily. Fraud isn't as uncommon as one would imagine. One never knows the private world that individuals actually live in. Appearances can be deceptive.
