Are you saying that the police are leaking to WoS? And are you saying the BBC are using quotation marks, not because they are quoting an SNP spokesperson but because they are trying to suggest the person is lying?
Ach it's all proportional you know.Quote:

OK - you have a point. Why doesn't Humza resign and then stand? That would be such a sign of confidence.Quote:

Is there precedence for this?Quote:

What a national embarrassment this is for Scotland, no matter which party you vote for.
To think we thought we were above so called Tory corruption and incompetence.
The sooner the police investigations and possible prosecutions are over the better. My real concern is: where do we go from here ? Who can we trust ??
He maybe just doesn't want to go up against a no mark. 😌Quote:

Probably best to wait and see if there are any prosecutions or if there is any confirmed corruption first.Quote:

Given they are every day words there is no need or reason to put them in quotes. Putting them in quotes in the story implies there's some doubt as to why the money was needed. None of the other words in the story are in quotes like that. Presumably the SNP also called it a "loan" but the BBC didn't see the need to put that in quote marks. I could understand if it was written as a direct quote ("the SNP said ...") but it's not.Quote:
