The world has probably had enough of sturgeon to last a lifetime but today’s ‘revelation’ from her shite book is just infuriating.

A long catalogue of poor me, I’m pure of spirit, any criticism is toxic, everyone else is malevolent.

Despite calling people who don’t agree with her idiotic bill racists, homophobes and misogynists, here she says JK’s teeshirt didn’t elevate the debate or illuminate the issues.

And then goes on to say that this issue wasn’t really that important to mainstream voters but we are all guilty of hysteria.

And she wishes she had the courage to call a rapist female.

For someone allegedly politically astute this book is a very stupid strategy. Slow hand clap.

Absolutely delusional if she thinks she can be compared to Obama.

A profit is without honour in their own land.

If you can't read it on the screen shot above this is the post from 20th July that JKR retweeted.

It says Nicola Sturgeon is facing ridicule for being compared to Obama in an official puff for her memoir.

This is how Sturgeon sees herself and this is what she wants her legacy to say.

How much would a JKR review of that book boost a papers sales by ?

At £20 a throw?

Probably £100.

At £5 a throw?

Probably £100.

So often the first reply on a thread gets it right.
Sturgeon go share a cell with Isla or a changing room with Beth

Well it seems as if JKRowling isn't adverse to telling Nicola to fuck off either!!!!!!!!

This is good …… ‘Actor Frances Barber was equally scathing, posting on X: "Relieved to see that absolutely no one is buying the Nicola Sturgeon pity me memoir. Most of all the brilliant people of Scotland, who she betrayed & lambasted with false accusations.And after her bitter hatred for anything English, she now wants to live in London!"

The woman is delusional and keeps calling womens rights campaigners as anti-trans rights activists ffs

Is that a challenge?

I'd piss my pants if JKRowling took her up on the offer to debate and the plan was to record it for the internet.

  1. it was never JKRowling ACTUAL job to listen to debate and opposing views like Sturgeons.
  2. secondly JKRowling did try and engage and was berated for it.
  3. Sturgeon has repeatedly shown herself up to be wildly out of her depth on the subject and is armed only with smears and mantra
  4. If she wants to debate it, is this an admission she STILL hasn't remotely changed her mind DESPITE her comments about rapists 'probably' shouldn't be allowed to transition.
  5. This still doesn't explain how she thinks the law would have been workable based on a lack of definition of gender and this wibbly wobbly timeywhimey concept of what it is and how it could replace sex. Which is pretty bad considering she was trying to write the law as that's what her job was.
  6. She's only saying this, because she doesn't think she'll be held to it. Even if JKRowling said yes, Sturgeon would find a reason why the terms / situation of the debate wasn't acceptable so she didn't have to do it (too dangerous probably).

I do hope JKR has something to say about this.... If only for the amusement value.

Having said that Sturgeon is clearly doing it, to virtue signal and to try and get publicity for her fucking book.

I wonder if JKR has an opening in her diary post Christmas...

Too right, my heart sank when I saw she was thinking about moving to London. We don’t want her here! Though I doubt she’ll find herself suddenly becoming relevant again if she does try it.

NHSFifeSadTimes · 12/08/2025 14:22

So Sturgeon is yet another one using JKR for publicity purposes. ( like Boy George former pop star) I would buy sturgeon’s book in order to burn it as it would be giving her money.

She is desperate for sales.

Bloody hell! I've just patched my irony meter together after the Russell T Davies thread, then I read this Sturgeon quote from the Scottish Express article 👆

I think one of the things my critics cannot say about me is that I do not debate with people.

And it blows up again! 😠

She is very confused, isn’t she.

Someone needs to explain to her that debate involves listening to the ‘other side’ and considering their points in your response. Sometimes it involves realising your own position needs adjusting in the light of new information and perspectives. Debate is not just forcefully shouting your own perspective and steamrollering to get your own way at all costs.

What people like NS fail to grasp is there is zero debate to be had. Sex is immutable. That's why it needs no qualifiers (I find "biological sex" a tautology that wastes valuable advertising space). To not accept that means you aren't even in the same universe. let alone same page.

The only debate is around how does a civilised country protect the safety, dignity and freedoms of minorities without removing the same from the majority. And that debate is universal. It doesn't just apply to one section of any society.

The problem is, when you go to war, there is more money to be made in guns than peace.

Nigel Farage, if what i have been reading recently is accurate, thinks TWAW.

I think his weasel response (around prisons) was that he's "not an expert". Which our one-handed media failed to point out has never stopped him before.

I agree with JK but I do think the debate is toxic and that the gc side hasn’t resisted the urge to gloat.

why shouldn't we gloat?

what do you think the TRAs would be doing had they "won".

Indeed many GCs are continuing the campaign for 3rd spaces. Are the TRAs?

It's not JKRs job to debate - on anything.

It was NS job to represent all of Scotland.

.... is how I would open the "debate".

@RoyalCorgi “Sturgeon also calls on her opponents to admit they are “standing alongside” figures such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán on the trans debate”

It like a throwback to another age, this rhetoric. I mean yes, you can say to people “Trump thinks what you think” – but you really ought to consider that they might draw an entirely different conclusion from the one you’re intending.

Nigel Farage, if what i have been reading recently is accurate, thinks TWAW.

Sturgeon stands alongside Reform

childofthe607080s · 12/08/2025 14:03

Isn’t it slightly toxic to accuse someone else of triggering the messages that other people sent that made her feel scared ? It’s hardly smoothing things over is it? Blaming someone else for creating the toxic atmosphere and “enabling “ people to be nasty - it’s not as though JKR paid for those people to have internet access or gave them free stamps is it?

SirBasil · 12/08/2025 14:00

Aaron95 · 12/08/2025 09:50

She is right that the debate has become toxic and emotive on both sides. And many of the "fuck off" responses above have just proved the point.

oh NOES! women being firm!!

She can fuck off to the far side of Pluto as far as i'm concerned, and keep on off-fucking.

the TRAs are the gift that keep on giving. I sincerely hope they keep speaking.
