‘Gie’s yer fucking money or else’, Financial scandals keeping popping up regarding the Yes Campaign, latest shit to hit the fan is ‘Women for Independence’ set up by the odious SNP MP Natalie McGarry, tens of thousands of pounds are unaccounted for, Police Scotland have been called in, and Nicola Sturgeon employed a WFI member Kate Higgins as a special adviser, aren’t you glad you didn’t put your future in the hands of these clowns?

Dear All

Never a dull moment in politics as they say; especially when it concerns members of the pro-independence campaign.

Recently questions were asked about the financial situation of Hope Over Fear which is Tommy Sheridan’s bandwagon used as a vehicle to try and rebuild his image with the public. That story about Lindsay Jarrett resigning over her concerns about their finances made the press.

Next, we have a mystery, Mark or Claire?

This involved an investigation by people concerned about the activities of the twitter account called @clairerobsc1

After doing a bit of spade work over months, the investigators published their exclusive which said that Claire Robertson is actually a man called Mark Roberston who lives in Easterhouse.

One of the things which were flagged up was that people were sending money and food to this person.

Some people who gave money felt conned but despite this, ‘Claire Robertson’ gave an interview to the National.

Still claiming to be a woman!

Apparently only one person is registered as living in the flat in Easterhouse, Mark Roberston, this would tend to suggest that there is more than enough third party evidence for an investigation by Glasgow City Council regarding council tax issues. If Claire Robertson exists then ‘she’ would be able to give the council a breakdown of where she was previously living and also Mark Roberston could give an explanation if the council hasn’t been informed of a change of circumstances.

That story opens up a whole host of possibilities.   

We all know about the Michelle Thomson scandal, elected to the House of Commons, and then it comes out that her property empire was built on the backs of the sick and vulnerable. She still sits with the SNP but is listed as an independent, mired in shit and still clinging onto power.

The latest scandal to hit the headlines is the financial scandal involving Women for Independence; they are being investigated because there is a missing five-figure sum which can’t be accounted for.

Women for independence was seen by many as an SNP/SSP front, their campaign attracted a lot of media attention and was given a huge amount of air time as people connected to the SNP passed themselves off  WFI.

That was bullshit.

The group were set up in 2012 by dreadful wretched and odious Natalie McGarry who is now an SNP MP. Two other people involved were former Socialist MSP Carolyn Leckie and Kate Higgins. Higgins has since gone on to become a special adviser in the Scottish Government.

SNP MP Natalie McGarry was recently named a criminal witness statement for her involvement in assisting Tommy Ball in his hate campaign by using her twitter account to promote the hate account setup by Ball and pass it off as mine. Tommy Ball has pled guilty and is waiting to be sentenced, deferred for background reports.

At present the figure which is missing is alleged to be running into tens of thousands of pounds hence we have Police Scotland involvement.

A statement from WFI said:

“We have identified an apparent discrepancy between our income (via donations) and the expenditure which we currently have evidence of. Because of the potential seriousness of this issue, the right thing to do was to pass this matter to the police.”

It seems that there is a spate of stories which tend to suggest that the ‘better’ Scotland which Scotland’s ‘jolly fat man’ Alex Salmond and unpopular Nicola Sturgeon promised us was heading up by people with their noses firmly in the troughs, pigging out on other people’s cash and goodwill.

Remember the big play by Nicola Sturgeon that SNP women will get things done?

Maybe the odious Natalie McGarry of the SNP can go find the money and who has got it.

Yours sincerely
