Spirited Away - Studio SNP

I had an interesting Twitter chat about the SNP's 'missing' £600,000 which seems to have been 'spirited away' - despite being ring-fenced and set aside for a specific purpose.

Reminded me of the great Studio Ghibli movie by Hiyao Miyazaki.

Does ring fence not mean can only be used for purpose, not used for other things

Yes, that's the whole point of ring-fencing money - to stop it being 'spirited away' and spent on other things for which it was not intended!

Raising The Same Money Twice (June 21, 2021)

Surely this long-winded 'explanation' is tantamount to the SNP admitting it needs to raise the same money twice because party leaders have already spent the first £600,000 - despite promising these funds were to be ring-fenced for a specific purpose?

 

SNP Finances - Clear As Mud (May 30, 2021)

So another elected official of the SNP resigns, this time the National Treasurer, over the lack of transparency in the party's accounts. 

Time for someone at the top of the SNP to 'come clean' and explain what's going.
