I've been ostracised, threatened & called an informant but all I ever wanted was for SNP justice to prevail

AN independence activist who sparked an SNP police probe says he has been "ostracised" by other campaigners for daring to speak out.

Sean Clerkin lodged a complaint in March 2021, calling for detectives to examine how more than £600,000 of party donations supposedly ringfenced for IndyRef2 campaigning were ultimately spent.

Police launched Operation Branchform in July that year after several similar complaints from other members of the public.

But the probe has still not finished and Clerkin said he was "frustrated about the lack of progress".

The anti-austerity campaigner, whose protests have made headlines, revealed he continues to receive abuse for his actions.

He said: "It has been a traumatic time... recently I was told on Facebook I should be lynched by fellow Nationalists.

"I have been ostracised by others and wrongly accused of being an informant of the British state. But I still am fully committed to Scottish independence, despite the hatred and the verbal abuse.

"I only want justice to prevail, as I believe good people gave money in good faith, and have been badly let down by the SNP.
