Probably a robbery
Transphobia
Absolutely perfect Chris. I like the J’Accuse! skeleton.
Chris, nail on head. Love the can of worms,well and truly opened.
Bullseye.
Should Salmond’s lawsuit be continued by his family and/or friends I expect a full exhumation.
With regard to Operation Branchform and why it is taking so long.
I refer you to the case of the Directors of Irvine based Oricom Telecom as well as certain NHS Managers and the alleged embezzlement of £7m from NHS Scotland.
04/12/2015: NHS Fraud Officers raid HQ of telecom firm Oricom.
27/11/2021: Eight people charged after probe into NHS contracts.
27/09/2023: Five men to stand trial on bribery charges over NHS contracts.
Interestingly, the trial date reported in that last story headline was January 2024. To my knowledge, the trial has yet to take place.
In conclusion, after nearly 9 years from the initial raid by fraud officers, the accused have yet to be brought to justice and when they are, the trial is expected to last 16 weeks.
Of course, a completely different case, but an interesting comparator nonetheless.
One final footnote, neither the Herald or the National have covered this story. BBC News, STV News, the Daily Record and the Mirror did.
And an excellent Saturday morning piece of satirical art Chris.
Relative small beer compared to the ongoing astronomical spend on duff ferries and deep piers, which a BBC Scotland investigation almost got into the nitty gritty of a few years ago before quickly backing off.
Is it just incompetence, or maybe something worse? Wha kens wae a colonial admeenistration ostensibly tryin tae serve twa maisters.

Perfect!
Nailed it, Chris!
Another belter!
Bravo!
That mah freen’s is just fir a yoker. Thairs a wheen mair skeletons rattlin’ that we’re no seein’ here!! Braw stuff fir them to whom it micht concern.
Excellent stuff.
Luckily you can’t burn e-mails and texts. And the BBC Warkumentary (I didn’t watch it) shows how very worried they all are.
Has Brindley been sacked yet ? I’m betting she’ll be the first domino to fall.
Great cartoon. There’s many a true picture drawn in jest.
I watched both versions of the Wark hatchet job, so I was able to spot one of the alphabetties before the BBC cut that bit out. Was Wark called to account? Ha! Brindley is appearing bold as brass on TV even now. Resign? Be sacked? Not a chance.
Yes Chris and the Spooks are certainly out in force to give the truth the creeps.
The fake independence party are down to the bare bones with a skeleton staff awaiting burial.
They’re gonna need a bigger cupboard.
Cupboard?
Cemetery more like!!
I hope they haven’t made it to the crematorium, though I’m sure the shredders have been working overtime.
Excellent ‘toon from Holiday Boy. He’s no bad when he’s here is he 🙂
The open tin of worms – Brilliant
Thanks for this Chris. Brilliantly successful scathing wit. Gratifyingly deep “bone-crunching” bite. Scandalously suppressed truth made manifest in a lightning-flash. This artistically excellent image will endure. It will outlive us all.
