Murrell was not ‘the chief’ of the SNP but only the chief accountant

The Guardian regardless of its claims of ‘quality’ joins in the campaign to smear the whole of the SNP with one man’s crimes against it.

Murrell was not a politician, not a thinker, not a leader of political initiatives. He was the senior administrator, responsible for staffing, buildings, accounts but the Guardian portray him as simply ‘the chief’.

How do they square that with Nicola Sturgeon or other real chiefs of the party after her?

As for ‘the man with the money’ claim, how on earth did this guy come to the attention of BBC reporters?

No harm to him, but he does not sound as if he is all there and so may not remember that well. Indeed, it’s more likely, like most of us, the tale has been made up in that process which even the sharpest of us have been shown to participate in.

Rae said Murrell browsed through their stock and bought a pendant called the Mirrie Dancer Drongs.

It shows the sea stacks off the coast of Hillswick, with the “mirrie dancer” Northern Lights illuminating the sky above.

“We were happy he wanted to buy something… as far as I can remember it was about £850,” he added.

It was listed in court documents next to a figure of £425. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5pp2pee7go

So a well-paid chief exec buys something at that price and his wife wears it because both know he can afford it without needing to have committed a crime to buy it? That’s it. Why haven’t they spoken to, for example, the garage owners?

One thought on “Murrell was not ‘the chief’ of the SNP but only the chief accountant

  1. The media appear to want to blame the victim ( SNP ) for the criminality of the person who deceived and stole from them . There is zero sympathy for the victim in this case .

    The unionist media at their most hypocritical !
