I've just realised, one of the things that perplexed and disturbed me, was Nicola Sturgeon's friendship with Alex Salmond. For years she was his comrade in arms. She must have either known about the rumours about his behaviour, or embraced denial. His friendship with her, is what would have kept some women quiet about his alleged behaviour.
It actually isn't surprising that she''s turned out to be an Aunt.
