I saw that.Quote:

Edit. The legal costs for the prosecution were over £122k, so that may be the reason. Didn't know that came under the definition of POC. Does that mean that every convicted person can be done for thelr legal costs as well?
Could it be that she has a property and this initial figure makes no allowance for any mortgage there may be on it? If that makes sense.:greengrinQuote:

According to the Herald the "criminal benefit" amount is £131K.Quote:

How is criminal benefit defined?
Criminal benefit is defined as the income and revenue generated and those taxes and fees avoid by the unlawful, criminal activity that the individual or organisation have been found guilty of committing.
Possibly.Quote:

Maybe she put the £25k on Hibs to win in 2016?
Turns our that the Crown are going after "unexplained wealth". Sounds like it will be up to her to prove its source.
Ah. That makes sense.Quote:

Unions reacted with fury today after the Tories “betrayed” British workers by handing a £1.6billion shipbuilding contract to a Spanish-led bid.
A senior Labour MP accused Defence Secretary Ben Wallace of “stabbing” UK industry “in the back” after he confirmed the deal to build three Fleet Solid Support ships would be given to the Team Resolute consortium, spearheaded by Madrid-based Navantia.
But are they complex ships? 😉Quote:

Surprised no thread. All Edinburgh schools closed on Thursday due to strikes, term time school nurseries too.

Think it's national. Mind reading Glasgow planning 12 days over Nov/Dec. Not just a pay issue for them, something else which for the life of me I now can't remember.Quote:

Not sure I'd want to use the SFA and SPFL as my moral compass. :greengrinQuote:
