Nicola Sturgeon has been arrested

[ThePrisoner]

That's brilliant!

Or horrifying, if you have read the swingers stories

Stealing money to pay for her driving test is a new low.

The sort of thing you have to avoid thinking too deeply about unless you want to end up like Marlon Brando at the end of apocalypse now.

She has nothing to do with parliament, she’s never been an MP.

She was the first minister of the Scottish parliament.

For a measly £600k. Johnson, Reece-Mogg et al wouldn't get out of bed for that.

Poor lass she should have spoken to Joe Biden — I’m sure he would have given her some advice on how to build up your wealth while in office. Lol

Been released without charge. That was quick.

Nicola Sturgeon released without charge after arrest in connection with SNP investigation

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.

The cops got sick of her saying “Fan dabby dozzy”.

Have to say with all the other dodgy 70s children's entertainers the krankies always gave me the creeps.

And away!

I'm frankly appalled that I can't find a decent copy of the French and Saunders silence of the lambs parody on the whole of the internet.

That's not the whole thing though. There's a bit where they walk through a rogues gallery of light entertainers including the krankies.

Released without charge but as this thread shows the damage is already done. It’s be good to hear some actual reasoning from the police about what exactly is going on here because it looks shady as f*ck from where I’m sitting.

You won't hear anything from the police, or anyone else until such time as there is a trial. Contempt of Court laws are extremely strict in Scotland.

Arresting someone under Scottish law is done to protect both parties while the police are trying to collect evidence. It's not the same as being arrested in England.

It's just 12 hours, Nicola was released sooner than that.

Released without charge pending further investigation. Is that a Scottish Law equivalent of bail in England and Wales?

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

I think at this point it’s worth thinking about the relationship between the press and the police, and why only specific people are arrested and investigated for possible corruption while others are not. I mean, who is making the decisions here and why.

In many situations the police in England and Wales will release under investigation rather than bail it means there are no bail conditions put on a person subsequently they will be informed if they are going to be prosecuted for any offences.

Theresa May when she was Home Secretary introduced charges to the police power to bail as it was considered to be unfair for some people to be bailed for long periods of time without any decision being made in the investigation.
