If the Lord Advocate is independent, why is she a SNP Minister
Dorothy Bain should have thought a bit more about conflict of interest, before joining the cabinet.
She has put herself in a position that she cannot prove that her hands are clean, other than her words.
Words are cheap, and valueless.
Lying to the public needs to be a criminal offence if a politician. As the truth will set You free.
Bain is not fit to be in her position .As far as she is concerned the post office workers are guilty .Even although the horizon scandal proves otherwise .And the snp whom she is a part of are trying to blame Westminster.
SWINNEY SAYING EVERYTHING EXCEPT DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM
Hiding evidence - how dare they!!!
Their is no no justice in Scotland because they own the justice
I see Swinney hasn't swayed from his habitual lies. How can the Lord Advocate be independent if she is part of the same team.
Bain has sold her soul to the SNP
Mr Swinney waffling so early into his new job, let's hope he "gets his finger out". Where is the Lord Advocate???
They’re all covering up for each other. Bain should never be in that position, far too much conflict of interest.
Blame Westminster
As always, they need to stop this blaming Westminster for their own f ups
Crooks
2013 and now it is 2024 and they are still prosecuting postmasters/mistresses. another fake who could not run a pi up in a brewery.
I hear you've been told you're competent , don't believe them Swinney
Obfuscation comes high on the list o' Honest Johns attributes along wi' redaction capability and a few wee secrets he shares wi' the current Lord Advocate, her predecessor and a former First Minister.
How boring is this guy. I've seen more personality in a mushroom 🍄🍄🍄🍄
Why is a snp member in this position. Bain has a lot to answer for.
Absolutely Pauline - SNP are blaming Westminster once again, take some accountability won’t you? The Lord Advocate’s ministerial position is apparently independent 🙂but John Swinney can bring Pauline McNeil’s points to the Minister without it impacting on her prosecutorial role but not the rest of the assembly??
Well practiced in being a snake, already.
Eh,um, let’s hear the first mini ster!
Shadey John
Usual we cant comment on a live case,your tenure is a live case,
Boring grey incompetant😴😴😴😴😴😴
They may be independent but surely they still have to answer to the Scottish parliament, if not who does overseas them and deal with any complaints raised
Poor under pressure. Either rants or, as here, stutters and stammers
Why,s his nose growing.
Well said pauline,il give you an extra cheer inthe village inn.
Both Swine and Bain are the type of odious truds that still float there, no matter how many times, nor how hard, you flush. The Crown Office dealt with it in Scotland - simples.
Why are the SNP being blamed for something the Westminster government did , they added and abetted in the false imprisonment, murder , fraud, perjury, fake accounting and adding in corruption and criminality. The SNP didn’t do that WESTMINSTER did , so why are the parties who took party in the horrific crimes blaming yet again the victims . The SNP have no part in this , they even tried to get Westminster to admit to their part and have the law dismiss all charges and false convictions and the Westminster colonists said “ we won’t admit to our part in the corruption but you can’t go it alone if you want to drop the false convictions” your on your own .
Post office scandal was also uk issue
Shameless deflection.
Diversion alert ! Difference being all prosecutions in Scotland were carried out by The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
Scotland wanted devolution, but when the crap hits the fan, they want to pass the buck to somebody else.
It’s Scotlands responsibility for Scottish prosecutions.
This is Scotland and we pay these people vast sums of our money to deal with devolved issues.
The UK government are addressing the issue , the offences were prosecuted in Scotland by the Crown Office in the rest of the UK they were prosecuted by the Post office themselves is it so hard to understand ?
@@zoon1543 For cult members? yes, they just have not got the brain power to see the corruptness in this issue.
Another sturgeon
Liar
