PUBLIC CAMPAIGN TO OUST MP RAISES £10,
chelsea drogba jersey cheap,000 WITHIN 24 HOURS A crowdfunding campaign to raise money for a legal battle to oust the former Scottish secretary Alistair Carmichael as an MP has raised more than £10,000.
Police are also trying to establish whether a crime has been committed after Mr Carmichael falsely denied leaking a memo smearing SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon during the general election campaign.
More than 700 people have donated money to 'The People Versus Carmichael' campaign in just a few hours.
The campaign, launched by Kirkwall-based pro-independence and SNP supporter Fiona MacInnes, aims to raise £60,

A Police Scotland spokesman also confirmed they were investigating.
'We can confirm that a complaint has been received and inquiries are ongoing to establish whether there is any criminality,' a spokesman said.
Mr Carmichael said he had not seen the document before it was published in the Telegraph but he was 'aware of its content and agreed that my special adviser (Euan Roddin) should make it public',

He added that he would have resigned if he was still a government minister and has declined his ministerial severance payment.
Speaking to the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, Sir Malcolm - who stepped down as an MP at the election - said: 'I'm acknowledging that if (Mr Carmichael) has said 'I didn't know about something I did know in the heated atmosphere of an election campaign' that was part of the mistake, which he has apologised for.
'My point is if you're suggesting every MP who has never quite told the truth or indeed told a brazen lie,

Asked if he was suggesting that lying in public life is widespread, Sir Malcolm replied: 'No. Well, yes - I think the answer is lots of people have told lies and you know that to be perfectly true.
'The point I'm making is we should, of course, hold people to account and if people lie they should take some consequences.
'But Alistair has taken consequences. He has apologised. He's indicated had he been a minister he would resign,

'I believe it's perfectly reasonable for him to be able to say 'I must now be allowed to get on with the job I was elected to do as the Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland',

On the SNP,

england official shirt 2012, one Conservative and one Labour, and the SNP are quite clearly wanting to extinguish all opposition in Scotland.
'That's their objective and they will stop at nothing to do it - and their own record on mistakes and misleading of Parliament does not bear close examination.'相关的主题文章:
