    I find it all rather sad. During the pandemic I was envious of Scotland having a grown up in charge.

    Agreed, she talked a lot more sense than that prat Boris.

    Covid was allegedly her finest hour, but the stats re deaths in care homes, etc told otherwise.

    Her press conferences were an absolute sham. The devolved governments were given advanced notice of the main daily Westminster briefings.

    So, Sturgeon being Sturgeon decided to hold her covid briefings just a little in advance of Westminster’s, knowing full well she was pulling a fast one and making herself look more competent.

    An absolute fraud, fawned upon by English Socialists, at that time.

    It also has its comical side. As reported yesterday:

    “Peter Murrell bought more than 100 toilet rolls just hours before then First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned the public against panic-buying during the pandemic.

    The disgraced SNP chief executive splurged on the essentials as his now estranged wife urged Scots to ‘apply common sense’ when lockdown loomed in March 2020.

    Court documents reveal Murrell spent £55.98 on 108 Andrex toilet rolls on March 7 while supermarkets battled chronic shortages of a number of essential items.

    Just 48 hours later, Ms Sturgeon appeared at a press conference instructing the public to ‘behave as rationally as possible’ and avoid bulk buying in shops.”

    More great work by “Wings Over Scotland”:

    Ah yes, “Wings Over Scotland”, run by Stuart Campbell, who is such a proud Scotsman that he has lived in Somerset for over 30 years.

    Wonder if he’s got over losing to Kezia Dugdale in the Inner House of the Court of Session yet?

    And Sturgeon is such a proud Scot that she is moving to live in England as well.

    You can play the man but not the ball as much as you like. But “Wings” has been consistently right on this issue. If only the rest of the media had been so diligent.

    A five year stretch for Murrell. Although I expect he will serve less than half that time.

    His ex-wife ought to consider herself fortunate.

    Was it really necessary to handcuff him?

    More press about Murrell than Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, former MP, Enoch powell’s election agent, peer of the realm, privy counsellor, former MP, proud Christian, leader of the Democratic Unionist party (which began life as the Protestant Unionist party), and now a convicted child abuser.
    I wonder why that is?

    Could you imagine the furore there’d be if a Muslim/immigrant/person of colour were accused of multiple cases of child abuse in Norn Iron at the moment?

    He’s likely to do the full stretch , and it was necessary to cuff him , he’s a convicted fraudster , I hope the other lags give him plenty tlc…
