Sadly within the UK we have so many examples of state institutional incompetence that it will be no surprise to me if the police drag this out whether they are supported by other backroom actors or not. Don’t hold your breath is all I am saying.
I also contributed to the £600k fund and fully expected the SNP to use the money to fight for any aspect of the ongoing struggle for independence. Anyone who assumed it to be ringfenced should have the right to ask for their money back….but to make it a police matter is just bizarre.
She and hubby and the treasurer were given £600k and cannot account for it. Of a piece with a style of governance where records of meetings were not routinely taken, which has facilitated lack of transparency on a number of issues (ferries, Salmond, Covid). She’s landed herself in several deep puddles of shit for which her shoes are inadequate, and she has resorted to lapses in memory or silence on a few occasions as a result. This, the woman who was FM (not running a charity or golf course - you know, running the country) and took the Lord Advocate into her Cabinet as a means of separating the executive from the judiciary, not. And whose continuity candidate was elected to replace her after the party NEC, packed with her placepeople, changed their own rules to rush the election to his advantage. None of these are the actions of an inherently honest person - quite the opposite. Shes even lied about SNP membership numbers, for Gods sake.
I agree its dragging on. Apparently the local plods have been in a position to expedite things, but have been held back from doing so. But there may be connections between this and the other four cases. And the timing and apparent premise of your piece - about Scotlands leading female politician, on International Womens’ Day - does rather raise issues about your motivation in calling for the case to be dropped. If you’re implicitly suggesting that she is under investigation because she a woman, then excuse me while I clutch my sides.
Her gender is irrelevant. This is an investigation into corruption, and only one of four into issues around national or party governance from her time in power. What other criminal investigation would the writer wanted curtailed, and on what grounds?
It’s a political witch hunt. It’s nothing else.
Given that Westminster just ignored Billions going missing and no police investigation this has to be a farce time to ether put up or shut up.

Rubbish. It’s time the fan girl in you let her go.
