for the high public trust placed in him.

BBC Reporting Scotland today suggesting contempt for ‘public‘ trust. Morrell was not a public official as in someone working for a tax-payer-funded local authority, a health board, the armed forces, the BBC or even a charity funded by government grants, but an employee of a private company funded by its members. He did betray the trust of SNP members but cannot be accurately accused of betraying ‘public’ trust because he did not work for the ‘public.’

We then see an unidentified police officer suggesting the same:

but then crucially:

Today, we hear the judge told him his actions had been ‘a gross breach of trust.’ The word ‘public’ is not mentioned by the judge because he knows what he’s talking about.

So, who did he betray? SNP members, you’d think. Did any SNP member complain at the time and trigger the police investigation?

Nope. In the words of Glen Campbell, a ‘political activist’ Sean Clerkin did. Is he an SNP member? Nope but a member of Scottish Resistance and has been charged multiple times for breach of the peace.

Isn’t it interesting that Police Scotland did not require a party member to complain.

Was any contemporary SNP member prepared to speak on BBC Reporting Scotland? Nope. Just former member but currently in the huff, Joanna Cherry.

I’ve met people who think, based on the media coverage that Murrell embezzled public money, their money. This kind of reporting, will reinforce that confusion.

It is a deliberate attempt to widen his crime’s victims so as to mislead the public.

The only victims here are SNP members. That they are victims should be a matter for empathy and not this media-twisted ludicrous notion that the SNP as-a-whole, is somehow untrustworthy.
