Really? She lived with this guy and didn't know? She had a camper van parked on the drive and didn't know he stole the money to buy it?

I don't buy it.

AIBU

Still telling people what to think and do, it seems

It was a new low when she played the ‘poor woman’ card. ‘I am not the first woman to be betrayed’ or some such drivel. Come on Nicola, you were First Minister, meeting the great and the good and making life changing decisions. But now you’re poor, deceived, weak ‘woman folk’. That demeans you and all of us women who see ourselves as equal to men and equally able to manage our finances, challenge our partners and work at a senior level. You’re just spinning a narrative that you should be excused because those nasty men did it to you. Bah.

Looks like the Glasgow house will have to go in order to repay some of the debt accrued by their, sorry his, criminal behaviour. Has the motorhome already been seized? They're beginning to sound like a couple of Belfast paramilitaries. How the mighty are fallen.

Oh bugger, did Pete remember to buy you waterproof mascara among his make-up haul? You should be okay foundation-wise with your Cover Up / Lay it on Thick £££££ foundation.

It was seized some tIne ago but has depreciated considerably.

We used to hear the whole time how lucky we were and other UK areas wished they had NS in charge during COVID.
She was a very eloquent orator who portrayed an imagine of calmly leading us successfully through Covid.

The reality was Scotland faired no better than the rest of the UK, and in fact probably worse if you account for the demographics . Our lack of population density beyond Edinburgh and Glasgow SHOULD have stood us in much better stead but it didn’t.
She kept schools closed for longer and NHS on emergencies only footing for longer.

It was just the contrast in the image BJ portrayed compared to NS but the underlying results for the country were no different and people in Scotland weren’t fooled

This Sturgeon story has a long way to run and her defence of ignorance is wearing thin.

She could be tried under Scots law for the crime of Reset - basically being in possession of stolen goods and having knowledge of them. This is why she keeps denying it so vehemently despite it seeming comically impossible.

But as the leader of the SNP, she signed off on the accounts. Plus the evidence of the camper van, her wearing stolen items and the list of items itself. A decent prosecution lawyer would rip her to shreds.

Let’s hope we see Sturgeon in the dock soon. She’s literally swindled the nation and at the same time put two fingers up to us all the while castigated other people.

She’s a lying, thieving, hypocritical incompetent arsehole of the highest order.

None of the items were stolen, why do you think the police said they were finished interviewing her?

Stolen no. Proceeds of crime yes.

boobashka · 30/05/2026 22:17

Have just caught up with last night's Have I Got News For You - It was an absolute masterclass in taking the piss out of the whole situation. There were some frankly shocking details about what was actually stolen, even showing photos of Nicola using some of the items (the £700 bag, the Montblanc pen... you couldn't make it up!).
Surely she can't wriggle out of this?! They must be absolutely loathing the scrutiny and the fact that everyone is openly laughing at them now.
Personally, I have zero sympathy. The media has been pussyfooting around them for years, so this feels like a long time coming. Total schadenfreude!

LaliqueSaltGrinder · 30/05/2026 22:18

If you look on the Scottish daily express website they have a complete list of goods bought with the stolen money. It was not A Montblanc pen, it was several.

Ok but they were obtained by dishonest means so she could still be tried.

Stolen no. Proceeds of crime yes.

But not her crime.
