SNP and Criminal Justice

Former SNP MP and convicted grifter Natalie McGarry has been ordered to pay just £66 after benefiting to the tune of £55,870 from her criminal conduct.

Scotland's criminal justice system is a laughing stock these days.

Former SNP MP Guilty (May 12, 2022)

Well it's hardly surprising because all the evidence seemed to point to a guilty verdict, but it is ludicrous that it's taken so long (since 2015) to bring Natalie McGarry to justice.

Politicians, Money and Sense (May 11, 2022)

The news that Tricia Marwick made regular 'cash gifts' to her niece Natalie McGarry just goes to show that some politicians have more money than sense.

Marwick, the former SNP MSP and presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament, is now the Chair of Fife NHS (courtesy of SNP Ministers) and says she gave her niece hundreds of pounds in cash every month or so between April 2013 and November 2015.

Even after Natalie McGarry became an elected SNP MSP in May 2015 - a very highly paid job, of course, at £74,000 a year plus pension benefits and expenses.

All very odd in my view - why would you do such a thing and why would such a lot of money always be handed over in cash?

Natalie McGarry's trial continues at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
