The video keeps crashing on my laptop. I think the nub of the latest news is that Westminster is too frightened to involve itself in the investigation lest it stir up Scottish nationalism again. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/24675557.operation-branchform-uk-crime-agencies-ready-assist-probe/

That is really interesting. The Scottish legal system is dreadful. I really hope Sturgeon and her corrupt gang are held to account for what we know they have done. I am sure that now Alex Salmond has died they believe the heat has gone away, but I do not believe it has. Sturgeon, Murrell and the rest of them should rot in a prison cell.

It's still too early for speculation. I must say though that Nicola has gained an awful lot of weight and must be under considerable strain. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1966245/bombshell-secret-nicola-sturgeon-report

I am sure she is under a lot of strain as she is under threat on more than one issue.

It doesn't sound like she is fandabidozi.

A very different view will be prented when Joanna Cherry KC publishes her book. She knows what went on and is determined to expose it.

I think Sturgeon has a lot to fear from this book.

What a bluffer and accomplished actress she is.

You know Curiosity, I believe I'm a good judge of human nature, but I just can't see it in her.

No I did not.

I think history will judge her very harshly. I genuinely think she is a horrible individual and she has seriously harmed Scotland.

I'm not quite sure what to make of her deleting the Whats App messages. It does tend to suggest a cabal operating at the heart of Scottish government. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-67254855
On the other hand her heart is in the right place on many economic and social issues. My gripe with her is that she can blame Westminster for insufficient funding instead of taking responsibility herself.

Dreadful. She is dire on so many levels.

She discusses double standards in public life with some credibility, mentioning Boris Johnson and Alex Salmond and the way they conducted themselves. I have some sympathy with her the way she was dispatched, and it seems Theresa May and Jacinda Ardern may have been scapegoated in a similar manner, though she doesn't mention the latter.
The main gripe I have with Nicola is she can blame the lack of funding from Westminster for all Scotland's problems instead of taking responsibility herself. Notwithstanding, there is a limit to what politicians can achieve and sometime or another people have to be made accountable for their own lifestyle choices.

Here is an excellent review by J K Rowling of Sturgeon's much hyped autobiography:

It is quite long but very amusing and well worth reading. It sums up Saint Nicola really well in my view.

I would have thought those on the left would have welcomed some SNP's policies: free tuition fees (Salmond: Hell will freeze over before I introduce them.."), free NHS prescriptions, free travel for the over 60s, the Scottish Child Payment for families with over five children, the baby box.
Yes, there is an obsession with independence, and I'm sure there is some anti-English sentiment which drives it. But as a party they are far removed from the IRA, who used indiscriminate violence to further their cause and don't take their seats in Westminster, whilst having the gall to take the office allowance.
The gender issue is divisive and I think Sturgeon was wrong. Trans people should be offered support, not hormones. It's always difficult when two rights collide: abortion where the right of the woman to control her own body conflicts with the right of the unborn child, the right to freedom of speech and demonstrate on the streets without inciting hatred, and in this case the right to self-identify one's sex without infringing women's rights to feel safe.
I can't help but think J.K. Rowling and others are a tad jealous of Nicola's success, rising to the top in a man's world, even if her legacy is mixed. One issue I do agree with her on is the drugs crisis, which is shocking. It suggests that life in Scotland is not as rosy as some people have portrayed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_crisis_in_Scotland
