What’s the story with that?

 

[Ndrangheta]

Blimey ... what a potential fall from grace.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

It would be amazing if they were charged. The government needs to go.

I am at the point where I have slogged my guts out and feel that I'm just so heavily taxed. I just don't see the point any more.

This helps to explain it.

Same here. Feel like I'm working for nothing, and now they're wanting to increase minimum pricing (which doesn't work - people will drink regardless)

Basically the Scottish government were given covid grant money, but no one seems to know what happened to it or account for it. Wondering if this is what Operation Branchform is looking into.

Nope. Op Branchform is looking at SNP money not SG money, they are quite separate. And I believe they are close to charging two senior SNP people with embezzlement.

So they were given 30 billion COVID money from UK gov? Nae bad

And huge increases on council tax. I may need to sell up if that happens.

We were rebanded a few years ago which was a sneaky increase.

years of no rises in council tax hasn't helped, and what are we really paying for, depleted services its an absolute disgrace thanks to the SNP
