Is she claiming asylum? She must now realise what a great country England is after spending all those years trying to destroy the country. She is most welcome to pop rounds for a cuppa and a natter.

So she's availing of the higher income tax thresholds, then?

Good for her. It'll do her good to get out of the goldfish bowl for a while. Scotland will always be her home.

They're completely different kinds of unions for a start. Imagine if "Brussels" told the UK they couldn't have a referendum on leaving without its permission! 😆

Imagine “Brussels” imposing rules on the rest of the bloc. Heaven forfend!

Fine for Scottish people in general to go and live in other countries. Regardless of whether they want Scotland independent

But someone who’s made their entire career out of proposing the destruction of the union - even after the public voted no - then no, get to fuck.

I'd agree if she was still involved in campaigning.

Maybe she thinks, having dedicated her life to it, she just wants to do something completely different, including living in a different country.

Fair enough in my mind.

Why am I not surprised in the slightest?

Sturgeon’s indefensible hypocrisy reminds me of that other great patriotic Scottish nationalist Sean Connery. He got out of Scotland as soon as he could afford to and barely set foot in the country, never mind living there, for the rest of his long life.

Why shouldn't Scottish people who want independence not live in other countries?

I often wonder about the conviction of Scottish nationalists who are so keen to leave one union (the UK) but so keen to join another (the EU).

I think it's a bit parochial to say anyone supporting Scottish independence needs to live in Scotland.

If it came to an actual vote, that's a different thing altogether. I didn't agree with migrants who had lived in other countries for years being able to vote in the Brexit referendum (or being able to vote in general elections for that matter).

She joins the likes of Sean Connery, Alan Cumming, Irvine Welsh, Brian Cox and Martin Compston - all Scottish independence campaigners but none of them actually live in Scotland

And hypocrites, the lot of them.

I think it's a bit off actually. If you want Independence for Scotland, invest in Scotland, pay taxes in Scotland and live with the consequences of your campaigning, good or bad. It's the same as people campaigning for Brexit while living in the Far East. Nothing to do with them as they don't have to live with the consequences.

Oh no! Wee Krankie coming to a town near you …

Good riddance.

TheKittenswithMittens · 31/05/2026 14:56

A bit like Mary, Queen of Scots. I wish her a better ending.

DaisyDooley · 31/05/2026 14:56

Utter utter hypocrite.
Why am I not surprised. 😳

Twisterlollies · 31/05/2026 14:54

To be fair I don’t think she hates England. I think, as with the other Celtic countries, she took issue with ‘Westminster’/the British government, not the country and peoples. I still think she’s not being entirely honest about the hubby though.
