Nicola Sturgeon's time is up

Honestly, I’m thinking there’s nothing incriminating buried in that garden. If I had anything incriminating regarding an accounting matter, I would not bury it in the garden. Burn it in the garden, maybe. Bury it? That’s crazy talk.

I see you've thought about this..

I bury all my accounts at sea, personally.

It's all a cunning ploy. He needs to get his spuds in before its too late.

I don't know about Scottish banknotes, but if you'd ever tried to burn £100 grand in English fiftys on a standard barbecue, you would realise how ridiculous this post is.

I see you've thought about this..

I have a shared garden, overlooked by everyone. I’d have to take dodgy receipts to the tip. If I had any. Which I don’t. Any more.

 

[steeplejack]

The police are digging up the garden.

Well if you'd told me at Christmas that the House of Sturgeon would fall in the same manner as the Jordaches in Brookside in the mid-90s, I'd have said you were mad.

Yet here we are.

Protesting a bit too much perhaps?

 

[andysays]

Funnily enough Sue , my neighbour is currently attempting to burn something in his back garden, generating a load of black smoke.

I'm pretty sure he isn't a member of the SNP, but you never know...

I still admire Sturgeon, but fuck me, politics is a game with brutal rules...

those are not brutal rules. he is living in a big house and even if he gets 18 months will come out and resume his life in the same style probably in a consultant role. meanwhile over the other side of Embra a mother has to go and shoplift for her food and drugs for the day. Now those are brutal rules. I suppose everything is relative.

Habeus papem?

Habeus papem?

Maybe if I lived next door to the Vatican

 

[Spymaster]

Whoa there, no one here is suggesting that Sturgeon and her husband have murdered someone and buried the corpse in their garden.

They'd hardly have had the space.

It seems the former First Minister of Scotland lives rather modestly on a Barratt Homes development.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Keeping it real. . I wonder if she grows her own tatties in those bags?

I noticed that. Fair play to them.

So what are the police looking for with their white overalls and their spades? These aren't usually needed in a financial enquiry.
(Or is it all elaborate theatre to derail independence?)

I was thinking it was maybe just plod taking it too literally when someone said 'He'll know where the bodies are buried.'

This is The Wrong Thread. There’s one several pages long here: Nicola Sturgeon's time is up

Damn this search function!

 

[goldenecitrone]

i never realised before that Sturgeon and her husband were actually characters in an Ian Rankin story.

 

[Spymaster]

I noticed that. Fair play to them.

I don’t envy their security detail.

Or their neighbours, for that matter.

 

[Kaka Tim]

So why are they digging up the garden? Has Alex Salmond gone missing or something?

Maybe they're searching for the elusive victim card mentioned in the thread.

They tried to make it all realistic but the pre-watershed rules meant Jimmy Corkhill could only say "bleeding hell!" which made it a bit less so.

 

[weepiper]

This makes much more sense. I've been boggling about why they might be digging up the garden. Turns out they weren't.

This post and the tweet within it are technically contempt of court. The man's been arrested stick to what NS did or didn't know

Why, specifically, is it contempt of court?

And if it is, why was earlier reporting or speculation that the police were digging up the garden not contempt?
