It also has its comical side. As reported yesterday:
“Peter Murrell bought more than 100 toilet rolls just hours before then First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned the public against panic-buying during the pandemic.
The disgraced SNP chief executive splurged on the essentials as his now estranged wife urged Scots to ‘apply common sense’ when lockdown loomed in March 2020.
Court documents reveal Murrell spent £55.98 on 108 Andrex toilet rolls on March 7 while supermarkets battled chronic shortages of a number of essential items.
Just 48 hours later, Ms Sturgeon appeared at a press conference instructing the public to ‘behave as rationally as possible’ and avoid bulk buying in shops.”
