       @bullivant I feel a bit sick hearing that. She's someone I've long admired for her apparent straightforwardness. It may be of course that she's completely innocent.

       @bodhipaksa @bullivant Since 2016 in Scotland if you are suspected of a crime you must be "arrested" to be interviewed about it, even if you are there voluntarily to provide evidence which proves your total innocence.So unlike various other jurisdictions "arrested" no longer means that there is actual evidence of any wrongdoing, which point the media has studiously avoided mentioning in reporting on this whole investigation.
