Bill 13,717 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Incompetence, yes but you'd expect that in Sturgeon's Empire. It's what the incompetence was layered on top of that concerns me more. Do you really believe this long, complex and sordid affair evolved merely by virtue of incompetence at every single step? I think that would require a level of consistency and coincidence that hardly fits with incompetence alone. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,153 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 The prosecutions were hopelessly incompetent. As somebody rightly remarked, the whole thing was well beyond the abilities of McPlod to investigate. One place to look for a plot is within HMRC. Why relentlessly pursue Rangers instead of compromising? Was there another plot involving the spivvery? Hmmmm. Were they connected or was it just opportunism? Then it comes to the polis and m’learned friends. That’s where incompetence looks to be favourite. Unkind observers might suggest odds on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be accountability There's no end of things that should be but, a full ten years down the line, it must be clear by now that accountability isn't something that's ever going to escape from the shadows of this farce. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,240 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 "Malicious arrest" earns you some 72m ... that's some return if you have a good lawyer. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
