Wings Over Scotland


This Other Earth

Posted on August 26, 2026 by

We’ve had another email from the Crown Office. Stand by for a surprise!

Well, that seems fair enough: other than the fact that almost £700,000 in “ringfenced” fundraiser money is (still) visibly missing, and the fact that the First Minister of the country and the leader of the party the money was entrusted to has publicly admitted it was misappropriated, there’s insufficient evidence that anything untoward happened to it. Panic over, everyone. Nothing to see here. Carry on with your day.

      My husband and I got refunds. We also contacted the Police using the crime reference number. We were both interviewed and gave written statements. Beattie’s statement about money being woven through accounts was read out to us both. Neither of us agreed or accepted it as an explanation.

    I get the feeling that after we get a proper drains up on this, several senior civil servants will be joining Nicola Sturgeon in prison.

    But first, Scottish people need to take control of the Scottish Parliament. The liars and thieves aren’t going to punish themselves.

    Are any MSPs or MPs interested in pursuing this matter? Or are they too busy with World Hijab Day?

    I can’t find the words to describe this appalling level of public “service” and “justice”. Surely there must be several MSPs and MPs who would be willing to pursue this matter in their parliaments.

    Can we try this first, Rev – particularly the MSPs as Holyrood is more visible to our media and the executive easier to challenge.

      But are there actually any politicians currently elected as either MSP or MP that are more motivated to uphold decent standards of justice over their own gravy intake…

      Even previously elected supposedly “good yins” couldn’t be arsed using their positions or parliamentary privilege regarding this ongoing farce.

      And what makes this protracted circus show even more tedious to watch unfold is that for all the time and energy spent shouting from the sidelines, there was little to no effort put in to try to elect a few folk that would have rated the likes of this injustice higher than their own desire for Bisto.

      There are many calling for enquiries in Westminster and the House of Lords. May happen when Parliaments starts up again.

      MSPs called for a public enquiry but it was voted down by SNP and Greens.

    It’s unlikely to you lads how important you see this but it’s beyond party politics now and hurtling towards corruption.
    Is seeing justice delivered even if the catalyst is a Tory more important than ‘the movement’ if doing nothing means we can never again have faith in independence being something that will make our lives better?
    Is it a situation where some credit and support should be given to certain Tories if they can achieve the right result, at least here?

    The Crown Office is well aware that politicians lie all the time. It is therefore terrified that prosecuting Swinney and friends for breaking promises about an IndyRef campaign would create a precedent, resulting in demands to investigate all sorts of other political dishonesty and deceit. Sanctioning political mendaciousness is a job for the electorate, not the law.

    That is certainly one explanation for the hole the Crown Office has dug itself into. But far from being a mitigating excuse, the explanation leads directly back to the conclusion that the institution itself is incompetent and fundamentally unfit for purpose.

    As you have patiently explained, this is explicitly NOT a complaint about a dodgy manifesto promise or an overly ambitious campaign speech. There is persuasive evidence that a very specific criminal offence has been committed.

    The Crown Office’s bone-headed insistence that it isn’t going to get involved in “politics” shows just how poorly its leadership actually understands both the Crown Office function and the substance of the law. It is also a reminder of the breathtaking level of institutional arrogance which characterises the Crown Office (as anyone who has ever had the dubious professional pleasure of working with Crown Office officials will be well aware).

    The bottom line is that this is (yet another) Scottish public institution that is simultaneously not very good at what it does and unshakably certain of its ability to ignore critics. In practice the ingrained internal culture is that “the Crown” can do (or not do) whatever it damn well likes and there is nothing the whinging peasants can do about it. La loi, c’est nous.

    Either way, the Crown Office position is a toxic cocktail of ignorance, arrogance and hard-wired deference to power (especially where Saint Nicola is concerned). It is very much that kind of institution, and certainly NOT a “no fear or favour” public prosecutor capable of genuinely upholding the rule of law. And that, ultimately is why this case really, really does matter.

    This is beyond bizarre, they may have evidence a crime was committed and decide not to prosecute the crime, sure, that’s probably a prerogative somewhere, but have a reason.

    Unacceptable responses are :’We can’t be arsed’ so is ‘If someone else could come up with a reason we haven’t prosecuted, that would be great, because we can’t think of one’ and so also is ‘If you have evidence of some other, more interesting crime, let us know, because the embezzlement we absolutely know about is sooo booooring and nobody can be bothered’

    Strikes me it would be useful for somebody with a known rep for forensic reporting, and an encyclopedic knowledge and recall of the events of the past decade or so (can you guess who it is yet?), to email the producers with a bullet point list of other facts that they will probably be unaware of, and could be worked into an utterly compelling story.

    The email could:

    1. List the bullet points.

    2. State that you’re available to elaborate.

    3. Clarify that you have evidence for every claim you make.

    Lets be quite clear the Police are corrupt.

    Events with regard to how they prosecute some but utterly disregards others tells folks all they need to know. They and the COPFS are a gang. Of that there can be little doubt.

    And that rottenness permeates down through the machine. Rotten police forces have existed before – the apartheid police service of South Africa being one example. But so too the now defunct RUC of NI.

    And then there’s the silencing of elected representatives by Scottish Governmental organisations like the Standards Commission. Thankfully Lord Sandison only last week in the Supreme Court ruled on the Standards Commission and the Scottish Government who stand behind them ruling ” illegal ” their behaviour. But Fiona Higgins was only one tip of an iceberg of intimidation and silencing. Here is a press piece on the reality of what is going on –

    link to dailyrecord.co.uk

    The refusal to prosecute, the enthusiasm to pursue innocent people, the silencing of comment, illegal actions, its all in play. Just think about who gets pursued and who doesn’t and you realise what a what a rotten a corrupt statelet we are.

    And then reflect on how free speech is being curtailed.

  33. Skip_NC says:

    If they’d said that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any individual for embezzlement of the ring-fenced funds, it would have been believable. They didn’t say that. They said there was no evidence of criminality. Anyone with a calculator (or enough fingers and toes) can see that is nonsense. There is a lot in accounting and auditing that is complex but ring-fencing the thick end of 700,000 without being able to produce the bank account where the money is held is really very simple. Anyone with common sense can see the problem.

    I do not believe the Crown Office.

      Time indeed to reinstate law and order you say Ross Weir. I couldn’t agree more. This is a fight we need to win and it is bigger, much bigger than many folks realise.

      1930s Nazi Germany did not arise overnight. Rather freedoms, rhe rule of law and democracy were progressively dismantled. In Scotland we are well down that road.

      A rotten political police force and prosecution service are one aspect. Salmond, Murray, Hirst and other are clear but the suppression of free speech are another and who cannot be aware of the honest decent people, many elderly, who were arrested in their droves by Police Scotland as terrorists no less for expressing utterly peaceful comment about the horrors of Palestine. Or the coordinated attack on free and fair speech by elected representatives ergo Higgins et al.

      Or the propaganda. Thinking Police again how many who have witnessed huge independence marches can not be ware of Police Scotland and the BBC reporting a few hundred on a march when there was tens of thousands. Downright out right lying and misinformation – of which it is only a sliver of what is going on. But of course the Nazi regime had Nach und Nabel legislation and that along with Diplock courts hoves onto the horizon here as the police and state introduce ever more totalitarian surveillance.

      And the Covid lock down and the excercises of mass population control, was that a practice run on how to control mass populations whilst the elites travel at will. One Dominic Cummings, Prime Ministers, and indeed one certain First Minister are testimony to that whilst an Aberdeen couple with young children had their door kicked in and were arrested in front of the children on the erroneous nonsense that someone thought they had someone from another family in their house.

      The ethos of the Nazi state apparatus with blackshirt police and gestapo is I am afraid becoming ever more a developing reality that we disregard at our utter peril.

      And that is why I agree that folks should engage to fight this creeping menace when they can. Funding a Judicial Review of police and copfs is a start but more folks need to pursue other avenues of challenge whilst they still can.

      Democracy is a fragile flower that we all need to protect.

        Your point gets totally lost when you revert to the knee-jerk Nazi accusation, especially as even a moment’s thought tells us that never in a million years would the Nazis have tolerated what we see on our very own high streets.

        Are we all supposed to forget we just had an election in May? WTAF were the Independence ‘radicals’ then?

        They could have campaigned on a plebiscitary platform. That’s pretty damned radical, because it would grant the successful party a democratic mandate to commence severing the union.

        It’s a bit rich to complain about “Swinney’s daeless lot” when so far, the most the “dae something lot” amounts to is wearing kilts at the UN to ask them, cap in hand, to gift us Indy.

    A timely article today about the award of costs now being assessed to be paid by the taxpayer following the land mark Court of Session judgement in the Cllr Fionna Higgins case that ruled that the Standards Commission Scotland had acted illegaly.

    link to archive.ph

    Of course this ward of costs which is estimated to run to a six figure sum is only the tip of the huge iceberg across Scotland. In the case of the Standards Commission Scotland any legal challenges require to be specifically funded after approval has been sought from the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body. But as we now know there has been an explosion of court cases arising against the SCS and its backers in the SCS.

    Cllr Jennifer Steward and LLTNP board member Sid Perrie being but two others on the go. And then of course there is the costs of the preparation of investigating the thousands of complaints and preparation of cases against in individuals deemed to have been rude or discourteous. Its a holocaust and no wonder the Free Speech Union Scotland are concerned. And then there’s the cost of potential compensation claims.

    Pursuing elderly disabled and sick in absentia and without representation is not unknown. All part of this Scottish government and its agencies modus operandi.

    And then there are all of the other high profile cases the government has lost. No wonder there is no money for teachers as the Higgin’s case exposed. Our Scottish Government is blowing tens and tens of millions if not more of taxpayers money in their fight to do down free speech and political opponents.

    Or…

      If you actually were to think about it for a moment, I’m sure that’s precisely how you would respond to somebody threatening you with legal action.

    NUS CALLS FOR STUDENTS TO ‘RESIST’ SINGLE-SEX GUIDANCE

    The National Union of Students (NUS) has called for students to subvert official statutory guidance protecting single-sex spaces, claiming it is “trans-exclusionary”.

    NUS Vice President for Liberation and Equality Avery Greatorex, a man who identifies as a woman, dismissed the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) Code of Practice as legally biased and “ideologically motivated”.

    The Code of Practice, which applies to services, public functions and associations, has recently been updated to ensure compliance with the Supreme Court’s ruling that ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex.

    A FACT OF LIFE

    Greatorex encouraged students “to resist trans-exclusionary policies in the public spaces and services they frequent” in an effort to “keep our spaces trans-inclusive”.

    Students were urged to put posters on women’s toilet doors stating that ‘men are welcome’, to push single-sex societies to change their membership requirements, and to lobby universities to allow trans-activists to co-design new policies.

    Trade unions including Unite, the British Medical Association and Equity have also criticised the Code.  Unison, with around 1.3 million members, recently vowed to take the fight “to every workplace to make them trans inclusive”.

    But Fiona McAnena of gender-critical group Sex Matters, branded what she described as the “mad rush by unions to prioritise the feelings of trans-identifying men over the rights of women to safety and dignity in the workplace” as a “shocking scandal”.

    She observed: “Many of them have failed female members in their hour of need, including women who have been hounded from workplaces for saying that biological sex is a fact.”

    TRANSWOMEN ARE MEN

    After lengthy delays, an amended version of the EHRC’s Code of Practice for England, Scotland and Wales was approved in May and completed parliamentary scrutiny last month.

    The document states that if “a service provider (or a person providing a service in the exercise of public functions) admits trans people to a service intended for the opposite sex” then it cannot rely on exceptions to sex discrimination laws and may be acting unlawfully.

    “This means that if a service is provided only to women and trans women or only to men and trans men, it is not a separate-sex or single-sex service under the Equality Act 2010.”

    In relation to the Act, it specifies that “a person’s sex remains their biological sex”, regardless of whether they have a Gender Recognition Certificate.

      Seems to me women have all the power they need to ace this one. I bet more than half the members of Unison, Unite, etc. are women.

      Every single one of them needs to cancel their membership and withdraw their subs.

      Heck, I’m sure there’s plenty of women able to organise new unions better than the ones the trannies currently appear to be running.

      In reality though, the trannies are the Trojan Horse being used by the Islamists to put women in our country where they want them – as second class citizens with second class rights.

      Lots of women now understand this. The remainder need to wise up.

But he did not do this; instead, he turned his neck, which was still free, and looked about him. He was not able to prove his own worth completely, he was not able to relieve the authorities of all work; responsibility for this ultimate defect lay with whoever had denied him the remainder of the requisite strength.

    « His eyes fell on the top storey of the house at the edge of the quarry. The casement window flew open like a light flashing on; a human figure, faint and insubstantial at that distance and height, forced itself far out and stretched its arms out even further.

    « Who was it? A friend? A good man? One who sympathized? One who wanted to help? Was it one person? Was it everybody? Was there still help? Were there objections which had been forgotten?

    « Certainly there were. Logic is of course unshakeable, but it cannot hold out against a man who wants to live. Where was the judge he had never seen? Where was the high court he had never reached? He raised his hands and spread his fingers wide.

    « But the hands of the one gentleman were at K’s throat while the other drove the knife into his heart and turned it there twice. With his failing sight K could still see the gentlemen right in front of his face, cheek pressed against cheek, as they observed the decisive moment.

    « ‘Like a dog!’ he said. It was as if the shame would outlive him. »

    (THE TRIAL by Franz Kafka)

    A couple of points.
    When the allegation of the embezzlement of £660k was first raised, Police Scotland looked at it and took the decision that there was sufficient evidence of a crime to warrant operation Branchform.
    For 2 years they investigated this.
    Then turned their attention to Murrel.
    Now apparently COPFS has decided that there was no evidence that the original crime took place.
    So either.
    1. COPFS has lied.
    2. Police Scotland has spent 2 years and a lot of money investigating a crime that they knew didn’t exist.

    Perhaps they thought it was a hurty tweet.

    So the corrupt Scottish establishment is hoping that by simply saying there is no investigation that you will simply accept it and move on??

    They dont know you that well the STU!
    As was said earlier, the stone is rolling the avalanch is on its way.

    To provide evidence and it still be ignored, is corruption!

    The left leaning think tank founded in Great Britain has many members in the Labour party and probably in in the Scottish devolved governance from Westminster.as part of that governance.

    The Fabian Societies as think tanks are advisers to government and no doubt the secret government behind the GB government with their idealogical beliefs.
    The latest reports suggests, I am hearing is that they think there are to many Brits in Britain and therefore the amount of British people must be changed.

    I have a solution to this problem,
    Remove and label all the think tanks that are thinking against the people of Great Britain as terrorists groups, especially from high offices,
    This immediately lessens the amount of people in GB,

    Then we could perhaps go forward in removing the asylum seekers that the Fabian Society implement as advise to government in replacing Brits.

    We could continue with reminding ourselves their are only two genders in great Britain unless you have a mental illness diagnosed.

    Then deport foreign prisoners clogging up the system in prison and foreign people clogging up hospitals.
    Foreign people getting houses prior to British people born here.

    There are many famous or infamous people recorded as belonging to the Fabian Society. Most of them connected to politics in Great Britain,
    Although other Countries have joined the Society, which explains why the world governments have gone AWOL from the people.

    Regardless if this may sound racist of past governments, but we must remember that this was how government actually ran… prior to the intervention and interference of the Fabian Society idealogical think tanks running and advising the politicians of Great Britain now.

    To be fair, crimes that come with a public and unambiguous admission of guilt are notoriously difficult to prosecute.
