Nicola Sturgeon STILL didn't know her husband stole £400,000

Follow on from previous thread.

For me it’s up there with Gerry Adam’s claiming to never have been in the IRA… if you’re reading this Gerry, don’t sue me!

Everyone I’ve ever met in my social (middle class) and workplace (professional services, finance) settings loathes her with a passion. I cannot conceive why anyone would choose to vote for a party who’s one aching desire is to do something that would cause such massive harm to the country the live in unless they are poor and think their lives cannot get any worse. See the deprived areas voting overwhelmingly for Brexit. Classic ‘shit life’ syndrome.

External auditors. Not the Party Leader.

Pp didn’t say she joined the SPS.

She was First Minister when the policy to place male murderers and rapists was written, she was FM when women were suffering in women’s prisons due to the disgusting behaviour of male prisoners and then she publicly refused to condemn the policy or even admit that Isla Bryson/Adam Graham, double rapist was a man.

Instead she made up ‘rapistgender’ to try and justify the unbelievable situation in which female prisoners found themselves while she congratulated herself on being ‘feminist to her fingertips’ - one of her biggest lies imo.

She has built her brand on being a woman in politics but used her power to throw other women under the bus. She is now claiming she is being attacked for being a woman which is utter nonsense. She is being criticised for her behaviour and gross incompetence or worse.

Sorry, has he become a woman?

Nonsense. Nicola Sturgeon is not a victim. She is a calculated liar who deserves no sympathy. The idea that other women should be supportive simply because she's a woman is laughable.

Telling trans women they can use women’s single sex spaces. Calling women who try to protect their legally held rights bigots. Then there’s failing to lock up rapists and assaulters (because under 25 year old have no idea rape was illegal). And shoving men in women’s prisons. Nice work Nicola. “Feminist to her fingertips”

So you're saying women in politics are untouchable? No employment of critical thinking only to say female ministers have it harder than men and we should all go lightly on them. Ridiculous regression.

She had to sign off the accounts too.

So, when did she join? I can't remember her being Justice Secretary either. How many mens' decisions is she meant to take the fall for?

She's a despicable woman for whom I have no sympathy. If you throw women under the bus when in power, don't expect those women to be there for you when you're vulnerably exposed.

I’m really surprised Scottish SNP supporters haven’t drawn the massive parallels from Brexit by now.

’Independence’ means nothing if governing yourself makes your country worse and actively poorer. Scotland already control virtually all of their home affairs - the only things out of their hands are UK wide matters, so things like foreign policy. But all domestic policy issues are firmly in the SNP’s hands. Not only that but the Barnet formula means each Scottish person has a higher level of government spending of them than anyone south of the border.

If Scottish people want Brexit on steroids, a hugely expensive and prolonged constitutional crisis with the end result being distinctly underwhelming, and to hand the economy to a party that has needed Westminster to bail them out on multiple occasions despite their healthy budget, then go ahead! But I feel for Scots who do not want this.

She left because she was putting her children first. I love Kate, most members do, and I am sorry to see her go. I think she'll come back when her children are older and she'll be welcomed back. Lovely woman who was, and still is, loyal to her party and the people she represented.

Geez, nothing is ever the responsibility of anyone in the Scottish government, like the other poster who told me that the QEII had nothing what so ever to do with the health minister. You do wonder what they get their salaries for.

If he hasn’t agreed to divorce then she can’t be divorced yet - they only separated in January 2025 so if both in agreement they could only start divorce proceedings in January, and if he isn’t agreeing then she has to wait until January 2027

Speaking of which have some more papers been released today? (Oo, look a distraction!)

I’ve moved from voting indy in 2014 to being against it now. Middle class here. But in any case I am not sure the stats bear out what you say. I believe there is support for indy across all socioeconomic demographics (though yes, more weighted towards lower incomes). The most likely predictor of how someone feels about it is age, with young people far more likely to support.

Nicola wasn't an MP.

Thr first party I voted for was Green. And they I realised their policies were all unworkable socialist nonsense. The young like nothing more than a totally impractical idealistic fantasy. See their championing of trans rights.

The pp had implied that men don’t suffer in the same way. Maybe that aspect had escaped you.

Politicians. If that’s your biggest argument…

She is a politician.
They lie for a living!
And are quite good at it, it seems.

However, in her defence. I don't follow politics so apologies if I'm wrong, will she spent half her life in Edinburgh house of parliament or London house of commons? If its London then the cat was away & her mouse played...with the finances.

It was irritating to keep hearing 'me me me' in this interview.

Scottish separatism has always been been a bit of a non starter, but it’s all got quite farcical with the camper vans, pepper pots and Nicola moving to England.
