Oor Nicola Sturgeon thread.

[O'Kelly Isley III]

The reaction of the UK media right now tells us exactly how powerfully regarded a figure Nicola Sturgeon has been, and we can expect a flood of hypocritical nonsense over the coming days.

The Queen is dead, long live the Queen.  But any unionists inclined to pronounce today as the death of the Scottish Independence movement would do well to resist that urge.  I'd like to think that the movement is stronger than that, and in any event it is broader, much broader than the SNP.

Hoping she comes out at the 11am press conference and calls out JK Rowling for the kunt that she is................

That would be glorious 

[Genuine Hibs Fan]

Haven't thought much of Sturgeon for a while but I don't think many would fancy keeping going when Scotland and UK's disgusting political press, liberal commentariat and dinner party set decide it's your turn for a good monstering. She was never one of the lads anyway so fair play to her for keeping them off her back that long.

Not supported her or the party following the bizarre covid policies from September 2021 onwards, and the constant Molly coddling nanny state policies. 
 

Can only presume there’s a scandal brewing, or she’s realised she’s too toxic to keep going.

I think that was on the basis that we were on to a third PM in the space of 3 months, as opposed to a leader leaving after 8 years.

Cant believe I had to waste time typing that for you......

Really??

I can't help but think of Salmond for some reason. 

Hopefully he's wanked himself out of existence.

@Ludo*1 you know what to do. Get the thread started plz. 

[scottsdad]

Put it this way - this is the top story across all UK news sites. This is the big story of the day. We've seen First Ministers of Scotland, Wales and Norn Iron come and go without anything like this level of coverage. Salmond's resignation was part of the indyref result and so wasn't as big news as this. 

This is a testament to her impact on the UK stage. Whoever replaces her will not be of the same stature.

Now who is going to be the person to condemn things?

Please can we have Mhairi Black, that would be utterly glorious (for the Yoons)

[welshbairn]

She's been looking tired and bored at FMQs for a while, no wonder with having to swat aside wee Dougie Ross's tantrums every week. I thought she'd go before or just after the next Westminster election, better to give another leader time to bed in.

 

[Billy Jean King]

Won't this boil down to a lack of support internally for the defacto referendum plan ? I suspect it will be rather than any other recent development or "scandal" that the yoons are craving.

I personally can't stand her  but she has more political reality and realism and honesty than any  unionist.

[Biscuits]

Honestly can’t say that any potential replacements fill me with confidence to lead us where we need to go 

[Leith Green]

Having to mute Sky News, the speculation on there makes some of the gammons on this thread look sensible............

You can see the Scottish electorate swinging back to Labour enough to hurt the Independence cause and then see us still lumbered with a Tory Westminster government.

Folk speculating about email leaks over the weekend?
