Given there's already a police investigation into possible undeclared donations, this just gets murkier and murkier for @THESNP

Not to mention the missing £600k, the Murrel loan, the mystery campervan et al ....

Unapologetic work-toot. This video is worth your time - see one way in which Scotland seeks to address youth crime.

The Vow Project works with peer mentors to turn the lives around of young people involved with the criminal justice system. One of those mentors and one of the police officers involved here talk about the project and its impact on young people.

Warning for substance abuse, domestic + sexual violence.

Police Chief: Yeah, it's institutionally racist, I don't mean individual officers though, let's be clear.

Police Officer: Join the BNP? I am offended my own sister would give a statement to that effect!

"It is right for me, as chief constable, to clearly state that institutional racism, sexism, misogyny and discrimination exist..
Publicly acknowledging these issues exist institutionally is essential to our absolute commitment to championing equality and becoming an anti-racist service.”
Ian Livinstone, Chief Constable of Police Scotland.

If only the Met Commissioner had this degree of integrity.

"Police Scotland is institutionally racist and discriminatory. Publicly acknowledging these institutional issues exist in our organisation is essential to our absolute commitment to championing equality and becoming an anti-racist service."

"It is also critical to our determination to lead wider change and support wider change in society."

Is it 01 April again? Just heard a bizarre news item on the wireless.

I truly believe have far more important things to do, than enforce some new policy that says staff must be clean shaven.

Whatever next? Removal of tattoos?

Racism and misogyny in the Met have been in the news. My colleague Ali Malik draws on his longstanding interest in Police Scotland to say these are problems that need serious attention this side of the border:
