RollingJ Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 1 minute ago, Axe said: Because the police are more likely to waste resources on a high profile person than a low profile person. If Boris Johnson was a low profile person then he would not have received a fix penalty fine of £50 for eating a piece of birthday cake given to him at his place of work on his birthday during a lockdown period. Financial investigations are considerably more expensive than a 'lock-down' investigation, and don't carry on unless there is good reason. As this has been a long one, they must feel it is worth the time and expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wager the Met police have spent more money investigating the Downing Street alleged breaches than the Scottish police have spent investigating the SNP alleged financial wrongdoing. The police forces through out the UK are as guilty as all public tax funded departments of wasting taxpayer's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly have no idea how the system works - especially in financial investigations. And you are proving your ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not ignorant regarding money which is why I know the Downing Street police investigations have cost the taxpayer much more than the financial investigations regarding the SNP party.

You claimed the Met costs were greater than those of Police Scotland, so the onus of proof is on you. All the individuals arrested and questioned under caution have been released without charge, but the investigation is ongoing.

Jack Grey Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Nicola Sturgeon calls arrest a 'shock and deeply distressing' after release without charge Her arrest came on the back of the detentions of party treasurer Colin Beattie and former party chief executive Peter Murrell - also Ms Sturgeon's husband - who were both subsequently released without charge. https://news.sky.com/story/nicola-sturgeon-in-custody-after-being-arrested-in-connection-with-snp-investigation-police-say-12900436 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the individuals arrested and questioned under caution have been released without charge, but the investigation is ongoing. Do you believe the Scottish police have spent more than £460,000 investigating SNP alleged financial wrongdoing? The £460,000 figure is in the public domain unlike the cost for the Scottish police of investigating SNP financial wrongdoing. 4 minutes ago, RollingJ said: She would though, wouldn't she? it's called damage limitation. It's called defending yourself after being arrested and released without charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
