About time...

Selective use of justice surely?

And why it takes so much time anyway

Because according to that article Nicola Sturgeon believes Margaret Ferrier is PM (caption under Photo!)

What about this ****: Rees-Mogg caught flouting Covid rules after crossing tiers to attend mass

But he's special and not in Scotland.

Not defending her because what she did was wrong but:

It’s strange that the charges by Police Scotland are for the first journey from Glasgow to London. Met Police investigated the return journey 2 days later and decided there were no charges to bring.

If they are to be consistent then Prince Charles should be arrested for travelling to Balmoral after he tested positive. He passed it onto members of his staff who were billited in Ballater nearby and it then had an outbreak shortly after.

The charges she faces has the possibility of a life sentence.

Well you Scots and your law halted Boris' prorogation of parliament, so I guess English and Welsh law is proving it is tulip again on some acts.

Vlad can whack me anytime he feels like, he does not need any noddy warrants or treaties to do it - these laws mean jack tulip to him.

He’s such a tease that Vlad

Police arrest MP over '''Covid rule breach''' - BBC News

Scottish MP Margaret Ferrier has been arrested by police after she admitted using public transport while infected with Covid-19.

Ms Ferrier apologised for what she called a "blip" in September.

She was suspended from the SNP group at Westminster and leaders, including First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, urged her to quit as an MP over the row.

Police Scotland said she had been charged in connection with "alleged culpable and reckless conduct".

Ms Ferrier apologised in September after travelling from London to Glasgow having tested positive for coronavirus.

The Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP said she had experienced "mild symptoms" and taken a test, but had then decided to travel to Westminster because she was "feeling much better".

She then travelled home again on a train after receiving the positive test result, and said she "deeply regretted" her actions.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We can confirm that officers today arrested and charged a 60-year-old woman in connection with alleged culpable and reckless conduct.

"This follows a thorough investigation by Police Scotland into an alleged breach of coronavirus regulations between 26 and 29 September 2020.

"A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal and we are unable to comment further."

Vlad the nutcracker - that Nuttina's brother?

[minestrone]

Vlad can whack me anytime he feels like.

Wrong forum.

They might pursue draft dodgers.. Bring on the pan Europe arrest warrant, then Vlad will be able to bring you home!

They have to arrest people who call her boss a Nazi First.

Man arrested after '''calling Nicola Sturgeon a Nazi''' in email over Covid funeral rules

[vetran]

That should not take more than 24 hours.

Basically the whole system is grossly ineffective.

Bring on elected prosecutors and sherrifs!

Probably checking they can actually charge her.
