“I retain both faith in and respect for our country’s criminal justice system. However, none of that changes this fact: being the subject of a high-profile criminal investigation for almost two years, especially having committed no crime, was like a form of mental torture.”
Did reporter Jody Harrison ask her what she thought it must be like when you realise that, beyond any reasonable doubt, that your former friends and colleagues are engaged in an ?o?r?c?h?e?s?t?r?a?t?e?d? ?p?l?o?t? coordinated arrangement ?d?e?s?i?g?n?e?d? ?i?n?t?e?n?d?e?d? likely to destroy you and your reputation?
Mental torture? Now she knows how Alex Salmond felt when she and her wee high school prefect scum cabal tried to send him to prison on fake charges for the rest of his life.
As party leader she was responsible for the party finances. She told the NEC that the finances were fine.
The party finances were not fine. She should have known the true position.
Whether it is a crime to be in charge when £600,000 goes missing, I don’t know. But she claims elsewhere in the book that she “did nothing wrong”. Well, Yes, she did – she was responsible and £600,000 went missing. QED.
Apparently/ allegedly/ Mibbes when sneaky Pete was in hiding Pal Val stayed overnight with SHE whose name shall not be uttered in the posh part of Uddingston.
When Pal Val rolled over during the night and mentioned the aroma coming from her pillow SHE whose name shall not be uttered replied saying that if it smelled of colon then it was Peters pillow and if it smelt of Colona then it was actually her pillow..
Nae baws, nae stones, nae marbles just a killer clown in a rainbow jersey and a yellow set of SNP dungarees out to wreak havoc is the the message in this toon. But its absolutely accurate.
The SNP killer clowns focussed on destroying independence whilst creating a wacko society. A Nasty nasty party thankfully heading for oblivion.
At least folks are now beginning to see exactly what the SNP have become and that together with the utter dissatisfaction of the other players like Labour, the Conservative or the Greens who are frankly all the same, will drive change.
Good, solid, committed independent candidates for independence is where we need to go. Not hollowed out treacherous Brit political parties masquerading as Scottish.

I really thought I’d posted this a few days ago but it doesn’t seem to have got through.
Anyone know?
Is there any truth to the story that under police questioning SHE whose name shall not be uttered turned and faced the wall saying nothing for seven hours!
If true it really should be out there as she cries on television; does anyone have the genuine low-down?
Maybe a bit beneath the belt but I bet big Eck never did that or the crocodile tears.
There’s something badly narcissistically wrong with her and how she was manipulated by her WM civil service “advisors”.
Those are the questions needed to be asked and a straight answer demanded!
Also, just seen on the Herald under a sensationalistic headline that she claims Salmond admitted to one of the issues.
Sleepy cuddles was it?
Well woop dy doo.
What about the alphabetties coerced into making perjury claims but kept hidden with no action taken against them eh?
Look closer to home you witch at what your own hubby seemed to be able to afford to drive about in, while you, like Snow White (as one of only 3 party financial signatories) claimed to have no knowledge of what was going on.
Aye right. What about the film rape then?
Your having a laugh and all this “cleared of all charges” is baloney; it either means insufficient evidence to achieve a conviction (no real surprise if she really did keep shtum under police questioning for seven hours) or, (correct me if I am wrong) as set aside by pal Breathy Bain as decided that further legal action (wait for it) WAS NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST..
Sorry for the caps there but that is not under any definition “cleared of all charges”.
Whole thing stinks.
If that’s the standard of what you are coming out with in your book then prepare to be eviscerated in the media and online.

ARE PEOPLE TIRED OF POLITICIANS AND THEIR BRAND OF POLITICS?
Are they bored with the burlesque that modern democracy has become?
Sick of serial loud incompetents running the shop?
If so that is a global matter one that the «globalists», the moneyed sociopaths who consider nations, cultures and people an impediment to WorldGov. have by stealth and the usual «useful idiocy» engineered.
In parts of the world notably Africa and the Near East systems of government have totally collapsed fuelling the new nomadism i.e mass migration. Out of such disorder comes nothing wholesome.
Set in that scenario Scotland’s situation of a once nationalist party wandering in the intellectual desert is small beer but a state capable of being enlivened by the addition of fresh input and a deep change in methodology.
There is opportunity here.
On radically serious note….with ref to marbles.

The SNP leadership must know that 2026 election on Independence is going to turn the public and its membership entirely against the party when John Swinney plan is ignored again by Germans next door.
If Corbyn’s party supports the three nations right to leave the Union, might just be what we are looking for before 2031.
However, in my own train of thought (if he will indulge me for but a moment), the gloves are too pristine…
The SNP has blood on its hands. Metaphorical in the case of Salmond. Literal in the case of untold numbers of mutilated children.
The SNP resists law. It parades delirium and placards tantrum. It proclaims “progressivism” and bequeaths a scrapyard.
Sturgeonite continuity drones are reducing Scotland to rubble. There is a plaintive verse in the Psalms which asks: “If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?”. Or as another version puts it: “What can an honest person do when everything crumbles?”.
In Scotland we now face in effect a totalitarian whimocracy of the mad, the bad, and the sad. Long fought for social, political, and juridical principles have been reset by cynical and unaccountable power play.
« Rationalistic humanism turned into irrationalistic humanism, which rejected all universally valid laws and order. It elevated individual potential to the status of law. […] If everything is in historical flux and if the stability of principles is a figment of the imagination, then why prefer an ideology of human rights to fascism? » (Dooyeweerd,‘Roots of Western Culture’)
Blood on its hands, too, from the hysterical over-reaction to Covid. Everything BoJo did, but with extra because Scotland just HAD to be different and Sturgeon just HAD to cosplay as Scotland’s mammie.
As the years pass, the casualties continue to mount from the untreated health conditions due to the Covid hysteria and the side effects to those young healthy people who were unnecessarily forcibly vaccinated.
Yet it’s as if the Covid years never happened. And nobody is ever going to have to answer for the unnecessary restrictions that ended up killing and stunting the lives of so many.

Kellie Jay Keen has held a successful Let Woman Speak in Glasgow It now appears they are being refused service in a Glasgow pub where they had arranged a post LWS social gathering.
“After appearing to be upset and mortified by the allegations, Alex became cold. He effectively admitted the substance of one of the complaints…” Even in death the cold-hearted lying cunt can’t leave the man to rest in peace and dignity. I bet by the time he died he rued the day he ever met her.
Twenty-eight quid for that pile of self-serving tosh about a man who can’t answer back? Has she no shame at all, kicking his memory in the head and making money out of it?
If men ever get involved in Scottish politics again (as opposed to baldy wee eunuchs like Swinney), they’ll win a landslide promising to put Nickla, Humza, and all the other perverts, thieves, compulsive liars and anti-white racist bigots in Barlinnie.
Humza and the rest of the Klown Krew want you jailed for saying words in your own home. Whit’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the inbred moron who shouldn’t be allowed to set foot in our country. And it is our country, this is Scotland and we are the Scots. It’s not Diversityland or Immigrationland or Benefitsland. We have too many foreigners who need to be moved on. They’ve tested our patience enough.

Considering Potty mouth Blacks recent “everyone is feart o Nikla” article in the Herald; then what’s the view or consensus out there of how many pages of SHE whose name shall not be uttereds utterly “factually credential and citation supported” piece of nonsense will Potty mouth Black actually manage to read before getting bored and skipping off claiming she is feeling unwell?
Or will the book fall open at the only part Potty mouth is interested in when SHE (you know the rest) mentions in opaque terms her non binary sexuality before losing all interest?
3 to 5 minutes is my guess then it’s an ornament..
And anyway; just where IS sneaky Pete?!?

Certainly seems to have gone skulking beneath the radar.
Mind you he’s been pumped (so to speak) by Swinney at elections beyond count now.
Anyone reckon he’s watching as Lord Provost Swinney makes a splendid job of upsetting everyone by trying to upset no one that Frasers trying to straighten his swivel eyed one arm bandit rotating eyeballs so he can do a sneaky “whod a thunkit “ Japanese sniper from left field to baldy slap head man at the next polls?
Or on the other hand is he just lying p1shed with an empty bottle of Bolinger in a ditch beside a road from an estate somewhere in leafy Perthshire having wet his trews?
Calling Swinney a Lord Provost must be insulting him as the title and post are unique to Scotland and he has tried to remove anything that is different because it is Scottish.
Do your job and prevent the closure of Alexander Dennis factories you useless waste of space.
Just read reports saying that Sturgeon will make over a million pounds from the release of her book.
With royalties, promotional media appearances that sum seems reasonable.
Proceeds of crime money many would venture.
Sadly, proceeds of crime pursuance, like so much of the police and COPFS.
is selective.
But let us wait and see. Establishment protection changes, political sentiment changes and the truths of Alex Salmond court cases have yet to see the light of day. Losing ill gotten gains might however be a secondary concern.
Sturgeon and her coterie of sycophants deliberately tried to put an innocent man behind bars, helped in no small part by large elements of the media. That highlights how unsavoury a character Sturgeon actually is. She is a hypocrite to say people should stand up to Trump but look at how many people when as FM she has thrown under the bus who represented a threat to her leadership and those she accused of wrong thinking. Until the SNP denounces Sturgeon and the cult of personality she created the party will not be able to move forward. The Yes Movement is moving on from Sturgeon, there is no way she will ever be allowed to be part of our movement. Sturgeon is indeed an “Enemy of the People”.
I do wonder when publishers will learn that they are on a loser with ‘politicians pish’- bargain book the day after its published , so any ‘fans’ can save themselves a few quid.
Forbes was like the football player that came through the teams`Academy`,

but you really know inside that they are shite,

really all to make the `Academy` system in Scotland look somewhat relevant for all the money they get but produce nothing and waste loads of talent in outdated systems.
I note in this thread, Young Lochinvar’s concern for the well-being of Murdo Fraser.
I fear oor Murdo may have graver concerns than the current state of Scottisdh Politics, since the new regime, responsible for managing and guiding The King’s XI have not exactly hit the ground running. I fear this unsewttling situation may be causing Murdo and other true believers sleepless nights.
– also, oddly revealing, in a between the lines sort-of-way
detective fiction is a dead art form. I can’t see why anyone would even bother with it anymore; it’s all been done. Over and over – a mass of cliches, eating themselves.
McDermid does her plucky “girl in man’s world” who gets the job done and in doing so earns the respect of the males, because she is so good. With grotesue violence. McDermid also fits my theory that -bulldyke- lesbianism (e.g. ruth davison, many others – mind the photie of her straddling a tank, like the gun was a massive strap-on?) is a developmental disorder that has given them the “male brain” but without the genitals; this makes them very, very angry, and it is precisely what Freud called “penis envy”. A lot of lesbians are strong supporters of the trannies – dick-chopping really appeals to them.
This idea being pushed relentlessly from one side is that Sturgeon is a “victim” who has suffered some “grand injustice”, is just … -but no one has laid a glove on her; a better title for her bio would have been
TEFLON SUZY AND THE SCISSOR SISTERS GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY
– or sing along with NIK-NOCCHIO
ha ha ha … hee hee hee … there are no strings on me!
because – everyone in Scotland who matters, is someone I gave a job to, and who I know things about.
The worst thing that happened to her is that she was “denied” her proper place, in her own mind – UN ambassador, politics professor at harvard, head of NATO … once she had established herself as top feminist, best lesbian, top dog female politician, she would graduate to the next level; ursula never done lyin for example. She jumped on the id politics bandwagon, just as “wreckers” like trump crashed it.
Can the John Smith Centre of political hasbeens afford another “knife and fork no show” position?
Has anyone seen Kezia Dugdale’s teaching rota? Or her publication list? Or her students?
– sad, even with self publishing on amazon, AI slop from GPT and AI slop journals, they can’t even make the effort.
Nikki and her flying monkeys will be furiously re-writing history once this book comes out; she needs to be stopped and this is where a leaking of the alphabetties would be pure tactical nuke – once you see them, and see their close relations with sturgeon, it is obvious it was all a fitup and obvious who did it.
– this then blows her credibility to hell.
Someone might have to throw himself on the hand grenade though, or rather “pull on the explosive vest”; try to be a bit clever, vpns, all that, and upload the zipfile to some place that doesn’t respond too much to UK law, like the chans, where for example americans post pictures of the adult bulger killers and mock “brits” for their lack of freedom of speech.
Sturgeon – no, not that one, this one; Theodore Sturgeon (1918-1985) was an American writer, mostly of fantasy and science fiction.
Sturgeon was a literary critic, too, and he scribbled doun 11 novels, about 400 reviews, more than 120 short stories, and a bunch of scripts for the original TV series of Star Trek.
In 1957, Sturgeon wrote of the science fiction genre saying that ninety percent of it was crud. He went on to say that ninety percent of EVERYTHING humans create is crud.
Theodore’s observation was originally known as Sturgeon’s Revelation, but has since become known as ‘Sturgeon’s Law’.
I think we can accurately – and appositely – apply Sturgeon’s Law to Nicola Sturgeon’s book, ‘Frankly’.
And although I might be wrong I am, quite frankly, willing to speculate that ‘Frankly’ is more akin to poor quality crud fantasy than expertly penned revelatory frank.
Some of the joy words used concerning Nicola Surgeon’s memoire, FRANKLY,
You are unlikely to read,
«She promised much but delivered little, opportunities passed her by, she left her political cause in the lurch, ultimately a political career marked by discord and failure».
Frankly, somebody’s made a big mistake. The only hope for decent sales would have been to publish it pre-Christmas and rely on the desperation of millions of punters who HAVE to buy somebody something.
Perhaps the film of the book will salvage something. Even now, talent scouts will be scouring the agencies for a partan-faced unknown with a voice like nails scraping on glass.
A REVIEW
«An amazing achievement. Nicola Sturgeon manages to write dispassionately about her life’s passion, and mindfully about experiences that could have broken her. Even the iniquities of the patriarchy she endured are recounted with fairness and compassion – qualities that made her the great leader she was and the strong, resilient and happy woman she is today». — Alan Cumming, actor, writer and presenter
Cumming is supposed to be a supporter of independence.
Is he yet another mole, plant, agent, pseud happily rejoicing in the political wilderness created by «her life’s passion», the acronymic one?
With such people the British establishment may well rest easy.
Stands Scotland where it did? Yes, as usual up to its neck in it.
Sturgeon and her coterie of sycophants deliberately tried to put an innocent man behind bars, helped in no small part by large elements of the media. That highlights how unsavoury a character Sturgeon actually is. She is a hypocrite to say people should stand up to Trump but look at how many people when as FM she has thrown under the bus who represented a threat to her leadership and those she accused of wrong thinking. Until the SNP denounces Sturgeon and the cult of personality she created the party will not be able to move forward. The Yes Movement is moving on from Sturgeon, there is no way she will ever be allowed to be part of our movement. Sturgeon is indeed an “Enemy of the People”.
TRUE.
One of her evil hetero man hating Woke Coven will be the SNP Candidate in next years Holyrood Election for Moray. Support for SNP will continue to lag behind support for Scots Indy and the anti Scots and anti Hetero UK Press and Media will make sure of that.
Meanwhile the Online Safety Act will be used without restraint by the Brit State and Feminazis alike to keep tabs on every single Indy supporting Heterosexual Scot.
I agree, sam. It is amusing [sort of] and punchy – a very clear illustration of Scotland’s [and Wales and NI] finances being unfairly handled by England. It would be ideal campaign material.
It is especially galling given that every journalist in Scotland knows what really happened, including the un-reported defence evidence that proved Alex was innocent. Why won’t the MSM report the truth?
Extract from Joanna Cherry’s sustained broadside against Nicola Sturgeon (from 8 Aug Scottish Daily Mail page image featured on Joanna’s X account):
« Why did her government continue to oppose the judicial review of the investigation process brought by Alex Salmond for so long and spend so much public money on it when they had independent legal advice that they were on course to lose?
« Why have she and current First Minister John Swinney fought so hard against any Freedom of Information requests relating to circumstances surrounding the investigation?
« Ms Sturgeon’s energy for going after Alex was not replicated when it came to other SNP parliamentarians and officials who faced complaints of sexual harassment and bullying. To many it seems as though the party’s complaints procedure was only deployed when it could be weaponised against her enemies. If that is not the case, then can she explain why it was used so sparingly against others?
« I – and others, I am certain – would like to read Ms Sturgeon’s explanation of what she knew about an infamous WhatsApp group in which senior SNP officials, including Peter Murrell, discussed how best to build a case against Alex Salmond?
« To many, it looks very much like she – and they – were terrified Alex might make one of his famous comebacks after he was one of 21 Nationalist MPs who lost their seats in the 2017 general election and that a plan was lodged to smear him which got out of control and ended up in a trial in which he was acquitted.
« Many close to Alex also think what happened contributed to his untimely death. I wonder how Ms Sturgeon feels about that. »
Interesting to read that Joanna Cherry is writing her memoirs.
Unlike Sturgeon’s book of lies, spin and selective ommisions, Joanna’s book I am sure will be a an interesting and accurate read that will cover many hitherto unknown background as to what was actually going on in the political and legal world.
Her memoirs, unlike Sturgeon’s will i suspect
be a very good read.
And they will I also suspect reveal a lot about the black foul deeds of Sturgeon and her equally foul clique.
It is quoted as “Considered to be one of the largest (8 x 13 m) and finest sets of Neolithic or Bronze Age (3000 to 2000 B) cup and ring petroglyphs in Scotland…” Eh?
It’s described as Neolithic, and that’s not for me to question, but to my untrained eye, the style, technique, and the cup marks bear uncanny resemblance to later Pictish symbolism.
The site has been plagued with apparently stupid interventions (the marks were painted), and subjected to vandalism, to the extent the stone was reburied. OK, they didn’t know better, but it seems we’re not done with the disrespect.
Most recently, Planning Consent has been granted for a Battery Storage facility in very close proximity to the site.
To quote Dr Kat Jones, Director of APRS, (Action to Protect Rural Scotland), ““The Energy Consents Unit at Scottish Government has not refused a single Battery Storage application. Ever. [2] In the wake of this egregious decision we are calling for a reconsideration of policy regarding battery storage to ensure that storage is consented in the most appropriate locations, avoiding Green Belts and sites of importance for nature or heritage, and that there is an assessment of the need for the installation before permission is granted.”
Given the profound and frankly game changing revelations being uncovered by Prof Noble at Tap O’ Noth, Rhynie, and Burghead, etc, as a nation, we seem poised on the brink of a massive reassessment of Scotland’s archaeological past. Forget what you’ve been told.
It strikes me there shouldn’t be development within 100m of an archaeological treasure, not to mention sprawl over a green field site, for battery storage which can surely find a home on some derelict brown field site of which Scotland has plenty.
WTF is going on here?
Gordon Noble from Aberdeen Uni is FINALLY beginning to fill in the gaps in our Pictish history, and it is remarkable, but even older archaeology we do know is there seems threatened by unnecessary industrial encroachment.
(You have to watch this… link to youtube.com ) 2000 views in 4 months? REALLY??? For Scots it should be mandatory watching…
There’s no direct link to the Cochno Stone, which is Neolithic / Early Bronze, but can you imagine Planning Approval for a Battery Storage Plant just over the fence at Stonehenge?
It is a deeply unsettling phenomenon how many people positively bristle and get triggered whenever a clearer picture of Scotland, well, pre-Scotland’s past emerges. I get it that Scotland’s enemies get triggered, but jeezo, let the truth be articulated without suppression.
For those who won’t look, Tap O’ Noth Pictish Hill Fort has revealed itself as effectively a city to rival any other contemporary settlement, with over 800 roundhouses around the “fort”. Estimates of 4000+ people living in one settlement, when the story runs we were hunter/gatherers slipping by Roman Patrols in the mist.
The more you see, the more it emerges that Scotland / Caledonia, whatever you want to call auld Scotland, was never the supine backwater it has become.
So Sturgeon wants to leave Scotland permanently to live in London. Well perhaps the Yes Movement can chip in and buy her a one way rail ticket to England’s capital. If everyone donated 1p we might raise enough money to send Sturgeon on her journey – and the further the better.

Odd that on a site never done posting about the appalling standards of Scottish journalism, UK journalism, the BBC, etc. you want to push the outlier view that when it comes to reporting what you want to hear, your favoured journalists speak gospel truth.
Sturgeon’s memoirs are a big story in Scotland and the UK. Try to get your head around that fact.

Mental torture? Now she knows how Alex Salmond felt when she and her wee high school prefect scum cabal tried to send him to prison on fake charges for the rest of his life.
“issue: strikethrough text appears as ? characters”
Are you sure about that?🙂The comments in the article were spot on, she been a waster and Its a pity Salmond didn’t catch on to her before he made her famous.
As party leader she was responsible for the party finances. She told the NEC that the finances were fine.
The party finances were not fine. She should have known the true position.
Whether it is a crime to be in charge when £600,000 goes missing, I don’t know. But she claims elsewhere in the book that she “did nothing wrong”. Well, Yes, she did – she was responsible and £600,000 went missing. QED.
Apparently/ allegedly/ Mibbes when sneaky Pete was in hiding Pal Val stayed overnight with SHE whose name shall not be uttered in the posh part of Uddingston.
When Pal Val rolled over during the night and mentioned the aroma coming from her pillow SHE whose name shall not be uttered replied saying that if it smelled of colon then it was Peters pillow and if it smelt of Colona then it was actually her pillow..
Nae baws, nae stones, nae marbles just a killer clown in a rainbow jersey and a yellow set of SNP dungarees out to wreak havoc is the the message in this toon. But its absolutely accurate.
The SNP killer clowns focussed on destroying independence whilst creating a wacko society. A Nasty nasty party thankfully heading for oblivion.
At least folks are now beginning to see exactly what the SNP have become and that together with the utter dissatisfaction of the other players like Labour, the Conservative or the Greens who are frankly all the same, will drive change.
Good, solid, committed independent candidates for independence is where we need to go. Not hollowed out treacherous Brit political parties masquerading as Scottish.
Funny how Sturgeon could not remember a thing during the Salmond inquiry but remembers every small detail in her biography.

I really thought I’d posted this a few days ago but it doesn’t seem to have got through.
Anyone know?
Is there any truth to the story that under police questioning SHE whose name shall not be uttered turned and faced the wall saying nothing for seven hours!
If true it really should be out there as she cries on television; does anyone have the genuine low-down?
Maybe a bit beneath the belt but I bet big Eck never did that or the crocodile tears.
There’s something badly narcissistically wrong with her and how she was manipulated by her WM civil service “advisors”.
Those are the questions needed to be asked and a straight answer demanded!
Also, just seen on the Herald under a sensationalistic headline that she claims Salmond admitted to one of the issues.
Sleepy cuddles was it?
Well woop dy doo.
What about the alphabetties coerced into making perjury claims but kept hidden with no action taken against them eh?
Look closer to home you witch at what your own hubby seemed to be able to afford to drive about in, while you, like Snow White (as one of only 3 party financial signatories) claimed to have no knowledge of what was going on.
Aye right. What about the film rape then?
Your having a laugh and all this “cleared of all charges” is baloney; it either means insufficient evidence to achieve a conviction (no real surprise if she really did keep shtum under police questioning for seven hours) or, (correct me if I am wrong) as set aside by pal Breathy Bain as decided that further legal action (wait for it) WAS NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST..
Sorry for the caps there but that is not under any definition “cleared of all charges”.
Whole thing stinks.
If that’s the standard of what you are coming out with in your book then prepare to be eviscerated in the media and online.

Should do time IMO..
She is a liar. I doubt anyone with any sense believes a word of that drivel!
Looking forward to seeing her back in court.
ARE PEOPLE TIRED OF POLITICIANS AND THEIR BRAND OF POLITICS?
Are they bored with the burlesque that modern democracy has become?
Sick of serial loud incompetents running the shop?
If so that is a global matter one that the «globalists», the moneyed sociopaths who consider nations, cultures and people an impediment to WorldGov. have by stealth and the usual «useful idiocy» engineered.
In parts of the world notably Africa and the Near East systems of government have totally collapsed fuelling the new nomadism i.e mass migration. Out of such disorder comes nothing wholesome.
Set in that scenario Scotland’s situation of a once nationalist party wandering in the intellectual desert is small beer but a state capable of being enlivened by the addition of fresh input and a deep change in methodology.
There is opportunity here.
On radically serious note….with ref to marbles.

Powerful, horrific and an accurate portrayal of the sickness of Sturgeon.

The SNP leadership must know that 2026 election on Independence is going to turn the public and its membership entirely against the party when John Swinney plan is ignored again by Germans next door.
If Corbyn’s party supports the three nations right to leave the Union, might just be what we are looking for before 2031.

They all got a heidful of jories. Fkn clowns.
Chris Cairns’ cartoon is superb.
However, in my own train of thought (if he will indulge me for but a moment), the gloves are too pristine…
The SNP has blood on its hands. Metaphorical in the case of Salmond. Literal in the case of untold numbers of mutilated children.
The SNP resists law. It parades delirium and placards tantrum. It proclaims “progressivism” and bequeaths a scrapyard.
Sturgeonite continuity drones are reducing Scotland to rubble. There is a plaintive verse in the Psalms which asks: “If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?”. Or as another version puts it: “What can an honest person do when everything crumbles?”.
In Scotland we now face in effect a totalitarian whimocracy of the mad, the bad, and the sad. Long fought for social, political, and juridical principles have been reset by cynical and unaccountable power play.
« Rationalistic humanism turned into irrationalistic humanism, which rejected all universally valid laws and order. It elevated individual potential to the status of law. […] If everything is in historical flux and if the stability of principles is a figment of the imagination, then why prefer an ideology of human rights to fascism? » (Dooyeweerd,‘Roots of Western Culture’)
Another great post.
Blood on its hands, too, from the hysterical over-reaction to Covid. Everything BoJo did, but with extra because Scotland just HAD to be different and Sturgeon just HAD to cosplay as Scotland’s mammie.
As the years pass, the casualties continue to mount from the untreated health conditions due to the Covid hysteria and the side effects to those young healthy people who were unnecessarily forcibly vaccinated.
Yet it’s as if the Covid years never happened. And nobody is ever going to have to answer for the unnecessary restrictions that ended up killing and stunting the lives of so many.

“What can an honest person do when everything crumbled”.
Hold your ground. Wait till the dust has cleared then rebuild on a solid foundation.
Something about building on sand comes back from my childhood memory Fergus.
Kellie Jay Keen has held a successful Let Woman Speak in Glasgow It now appears they are being refused service in a Glasgow pub where they had arranged a post LWS social gathering.

Latest instalment from the Book Of Lies.
“Alex Salmond and the truth behind our fallout, by Nicola Sturgeon”
She knows nothing about the truth.
“After appearing to be upset and mortified by the allegations, Alex became cold. He effectively admitted the substance of one of the complaints…” Even in death the cold-hearted lying cunt can’t leave the man to rest in peace and dignity. I bet by the time he died he rued the day he ever met her.
She’s a nasty piece of work. But I think she ‘doth protest too much’.
Why should we believe ANYTHING this horrible creature writes
50 times she/it could not recall
Horrible horrible
Twenty-eight quid for that pile of self-serving tosh about a man who can’t answer back? Has she no shame at all, kicking his memory in the head and making money out of it?
Nicola Sturgeon belongs in jail.
If men ever get involved in Scottish politics again (as opposed to baldy wee eunuchs like Swinney), they’ll win a landslide promising to put Nickla, Humza, and all the other perverts, thieves, compulsive liars and anti-white racist bigots in Barlinnie.
Humza and the rest of the Klown Krew want you jailed for saying words in your own home. Whit’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the inbred moron who shouldn’t be allowed to set foot in our country. And it is our country, this is Scotland and we are the Scots. It’s not Diversityland or Immigrationland or Benefitsland. We have too many foreigners who need to be moved on. They’ve tested our patience enough.
Lock her up!
There’s plenty of room in the jails now.

Row row row your boat gently down the drain.
Merrily merrily merrily merrily you fuckwits are all insane.
The BBC has been giving her massive amounts of positive coverage.
If the BBC presents her us a positive light it is clear to me sge is working for the unionists.
She was either always a plant or has been turned.
Behind her is Robertson and Swinney
Are they cut from the same cloth, if so they will crash the election.
I had hopped Swinney would try to fix the SNP but the evidence so fare does not support this.

Genuine question;
Considering Potty mouth Blacks recent “everyone is feart o Nikla” article in the Herald; then what’s the view or consensus out there of how many pages of SHE whose name shall not be uttereds utterly “factually credential and citation supported” piece of nonsense will Potty mouth Black actually manage to read before getting bored and skipping off claiming she is feeling unwell?
Or will the book fall open at the only part Potty mouth is interested in when SHE (you know the rest) mentions in opaque terms her non binary sexuality before losing all interest?
3 to 5 minutes is my guess then it’s an ornament..
And anyway; just where IS sneaky Pete?!?
Pig farmers everywhere, double check your pig troughs before topping them up in the morning..
Just sayin an that, public health matter gov’nor..
And one other thing; OT though.
What has become of Murdo Fraser of late?
Certainly seems to have gone skulking beneath the radar.
Mind you he’s been pumped (so to speak) by Swinney at elections beyond count now.
Anyone reckon he’s watching as Lord Provost Swinney makes a splendid job of upsetting everyone by trying to upset no one that Frasers trying to straighten his swivel eyed one arm bandit rotating eyeballs so he can do a sneaky “whod a thunkit “ Japanese sniper from left field to baldy slap head man at the next polls?
Or on the other hand is he just lying p1shed with an empty bottle of Bolinger in a ditch beside a road from an estate somewhere in leafy Perthshire having wet his trews?

Just read reports saying that Sturgeon will make over a million pounds from the release of her book.
With royalties, promotional media appearances that sum seems reasonable.
Proceeds of crime money many would venture.
Sadly, proceeds of crime pursuance, like so much of the police and COPFS.
is selective.
But let us wait and see. Establishment protection changes, political sentiment changes and the truths of Alex Salmond court cases have yet to see the light of day. Losing ill gotten gains might however be a secondary concern.
We shall see!
Sturgeon and her coterie of sycophants deliberately tried to put an innocent man behind bars, helped in no small part by large elements of the media. That highlights how unsavoury a character Sturgeon actually is. She is a hypocrite to say people should stand up to Trump but look at how many people when as FM she has thrown under the bus who represented a threat to her leadership and those she accused of wrong thinking. Until the SNP denounces Sturgeon and the cult of personality she created the party will not be able to move forward. The Yes Movement is moving on from Sturgeon, there is no way she will ever be allowed to be part of our movement. Sturgeon is indeed an “Enemy of the People”.
Starting with the front page there were five full pages in the Scottish Sun earlier this week all about Sturgeon and her book launch.
Absolutely skewed media focus, deliberate spin actually, it was a publicity whitewash.
Absolutely dreadful – but folks in Scotland should be well used to being fed a diet of tripe masquerading as news.
I do wonder when publishers will learn that they are on a loser with ‘politicians pish’- bargain book the day after its published , so any ‘fans’ can save themselves a few quid.
Forbes was like the football player that came through the teams`Academy`,
everyone is hopeful of a bright future and can forgive some early less than great starts,
but you really know inside that they are shite,
and will be benchwarmers for a while then shipped off to a lower league team then start work in Aldi`s,
really all to make the `Academy` system in Scotland look somewhat relevant for all the money they get but produce nothing and waste loads of talent in outdated systems.
I note in this thread, Young Lochinvar’s concern for the well-being of Murdo Fraser.
I fear oor Murdo may have graver concerns than the current state of Scottisdh Politics, since the new regime, responsible for managing and guiding The King’s XI have not exactly hit the ground running. I fear this unsewttling situation may be causing Murdo and other true believers sleepless nights.
Nicola Sturgeon is available (for) Pantomime
Oneliner @ 11.25.
Well, I’ve long thought her a bit of a (pantomime) horse’s ass.
this is unintentionally funny in all the wrong places

– also, oddly revealing, in a between the lines sort-of-way
detective fiction is a dead art form. I can’t see why anyone would even bother with it anymore; it’s all been done. Over and over – a mass of cliches, eating themselves.
McDermid does her plucky “girl in man’s world” who gets the job done and in doing so earns the respect of the males, because she is so good. With grotesue violence. McDermid also fits my theory that -bulldyke- lesbianism (e.g. ruth davison, many others – mind the photie of her straddling a tank, like the gun was a massive strap-on?) is a developmental disorder that has given them the “male brain” but without the genitals; this makes them very, very angry, and it is precisely what Freud called “penis envy”. A lot of lesbians are strong supporters of the trannies – dick-chopping really appeals to them.
This idea being pushed relentlessly from one side is that Sturgeon is a “victim” who has suffered some “grand injustice”, is just … -but no one has laid a glove on her; a better title for her bio would have been
TEFLON SUZY AND THE SCISSOR SISTERS GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY
– or sing along with NIK-NOCCHIO
ha ha ha … hee hee hee … there are no strings on me!
because – everyone in Scotland who matters, is someone I gave a job to, and who I know things about.
The worst thing that happened to her is that she was “denied” her proper place, in her own mind – UN ambassador, politics professor at harvard, head of NATO … once she had established herself as top feminist, best lesbian, top dog female politician, she would graduate to the next level; ursula never done lyin for example. She jumped on the id politics bandwagon, just as “wreckers” like trump crashed it.
Can the John Smith Centre of political hasbeens afford another “knife and fork no show” position?
Has anyone seen Kezia Dugdale’s teaching rota? Or her publication list? Or her students?
– sad, even with self publishing on amazon, AI slop from GPT and AI slop journals, they can’t even make the effort.
Nikki and her flying monkeys will be furiously re-writing history once this book comes out; she needs to be stopped and this is where a leaking of the alphabetties would be pure tactical nuke – once you see them, and see their close relations with sturgeon, it is obvious it was all a fitup and obvious who did it.
– this then blows her credibility to hell.
Someone might have to throw himself on the hand grenade though, or rather “pull on the explosive vest”; try to be a bit clever, vpns, all that, and upload the zipfile to some place that doesn’t respond too much to UK law, like the chans, where for example americans post pictures of the adult bulger killers and mock “brits” for their lack of freedom of speech.
Sturgeon – no, not that one, this one; Theodore Sturgeon (1918-1985) was an American writer, mostly of fantasy and science fiction.
Sturgeon was a literary critic, too, and he scribbled doun 11 novels, about 400 reviews, more than 120 short stories, and a bunch of scripts for the original TV series of Star Trek.
In 1957, Sturgeon wrote of the science fiction genre saying that ninety percent of it was crud. He went on to say that ninety percent of EVERYTHING humans create is crud.
Theodore’s observation was originally known as Sturgeon’s Revelation, but has since become known as ‘Sturgeon’s Law’.
I think we can accurately – and appositely – apply Sturgeon’s Law to Nicola Sturgeon’s book, ‘Frankly’.
And although I might be wrong I am, quite frankly, willing to speculate that ‘Frankly’ is more akin to poor quality crud fantasy than expertly penned revelatory frank.
Frankly my dear I don’t give a dam.
By Virago Curmudgeon
«SUCCESSFUL, REMARKABLE, great skill, unflinching honesty. triumph, truly searching, truly frank, compelling, clear-eyed, self-critical , riveting, deeply human, enlightened, enthralled. unpretentious, remarkable,resilience. great leader, compassion….»
Some of the joy words used concerning Nicola Surgeon’s memoire, FRANKLY,
You are unlikely to read,
«She promised much but delivered little, opportunities passed her by, she left her political cause in the lurch, ultimately a political career marked by discord and failure».
Discountable. Remainderable. Pulpable. Recyclable.
You overlooked these, TURABDIN.
Frankly, somebody’s made a big mistake. The only hope for decent sales would have been to publish it pre-Christmas and rely on the desperation of millions of punters who HAVE to buy somebody something.
Perhaps the film of the book will salvage something. Even now, talent scouts will be scouring the agencies for a partan-faced unknown with a voice like nails scraping on glass.
A REVIEW
«An amazing achievement. Nicola Sturgeon manages to write dispassionately about her life’s passion, and mindfully about experiences that could have broken her. Even the iniquities of the patriarchy she endured are recounted with fairness and compassion – qualities that made her the great leader she was and the strong, resilient and happy woman she is today». — Alan Cumming, actor, writer and presenter
Cumming is supposed to be a supporter of independence.
Is he yet another mole, plant, agent, pseud happily rejoicing in the political wilderness created by «her life’s passion», the acronymic one?
With such people the British establishment may well rest easy.
Stands Scotland where it did? Yes, as usual up to its neck in it.

TRUE.
One of her evil hetero man hating Woke Coven will be the SNP Candidate in next years Holyrood Election for Moray. Support for SNP will continue to lag behind support for Scots Indy and the anti Scots and anti Hetero UK Press and Media will make sure of that.
Meanwhile the Online Safety Act will be used without restraint by the Brit State and Feminazis alike to keep tabs on every single Indy supporting Heterosexual Scot.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how this advances the cause of a free and independent Scotland?
Off topic.
My missus received this link and we watched it. It is a short video on the Free Scotland site and I think it might be a useful campaign tool.
On my PC I can’t hear the sound and it is not as a result of any wrong settings I have checked.
I guess it is because I don’t have a Facebook account and my wife does.

I see the Alphabet Wokist Quisling Sturgeon getting a lot of Media time on ITV. Nauseating! Disgusting! Stomach Churning!
It is especially galling given that every journalist in Scotland knows what really happened, including the un-reported defence evidence that proved Alex was innocent. Why won’t the MSM report the truth?
Yet it was an ITV journalist (Peter Smith) that made her out to be a laughing stock on ITV news.
Extract from Joanna Cherry’s sustained broadside against Nicola Sturgeon (from 8 Aug Scottish Daily Mail page image featured on Joanna’s X account):
« Why did her government continue to oppose the judicial review of the investigation process brought by Alex Salmond for so long and spend so much public money on it when they had independent legal advice that they were on course to lose?
« Why have she and current First Minister John Swinney fought so hard against any Freedom of Information requests relating to circumstances surrounding the investigation?
« Ms Sturgeon’s energy for going after Alex was not replicated when it came to other SNP parliamentarians and officials who faced complaints of sexual harassment and bullying. To many it seems as though the party’s complaints procedure was only deployed when it could be weaponised against her enemies. If that is not the case, then can she explain why it was used so sparingly against others?
« I – and others, I am certain – would like to read Ms Sturgeon’s explanation of what she knew about an infamous WhatsApp group in which senior SNP officials, including Peter Murrell, discussed how best to build a case against Alex Salmond?
« To many, it looks very much like she – and they – were terrified Alex might make one of his famous comebacks after he was one of 21 Nationalist MPs who lost their seats in the 2017 general election and that a plan was lodged to smear him which got out of control and ended up in a trial in which he was acquitted.
« Many close to Alex also think what happened contributed to his untimely death. I wonder how Ms Sturgeon feels about that. »

Interesting to read that Joanna Cherry is writing her memoirs.
Unlike Sturgeon’s book of lies, spin and selective ommisions, Joanna’s book I am sure will be a an interesting and accurate read that will cover many hitherto unknown background as to what was actually going on in the political and legal world.
Her memoirs, unlike Sturgeon’s will i suspect
be a very good read.
And they will I also suspect reveal a lot about the black foul deeds of Sturgeon and her equally foul clique.
Off topic, but WTF man?
Until an hour ago, somehow, I’d never heard about the Cochno Stone in Dunbartonshire. I find that remarkable. How the fk did I miss this?
link to factumfoundation.org
It is quoted as “Considered to be one of the largest (8 x 13 m) and finest sets of Neolithic or Bronze Age (3000 to 2000 B) cup and ring petroglyphs in Scotland…” Eh?
It’s described as Neolithic, and that’s not for me to question, but to my untrained eye, the style, technique, and the cup marks bear uncanny resemblance to later Pictish symbolism.
The site has been plagued with apparently stupid interventions (the marks were painted), and subjected to vandalism, to the extent the stone was reburied. OK, they didn’t know better, but it seems we’re not done with the disrespect.
Most recently, Planning Consent has been granted for a Battery Storage facility in very close proximity to the site.
To quote Dr Kat Jones, Director of APRS, (Action to Protect Rural Scotland), ““The Energy Consents Unit at Scottish Government has not refused a single Battery Storage application. Ever. [2] In the wake of this egregious decision we are calling for a reconsideration of policy regarding battery storage to ensure that storage is consented in the most appropriate locations, avoiding Green Belts and sites of importance for nature or heritage, and that there is an assessment of the need for the installation before permission is granted.”
Given the profound and frankly game changing revelations being uncovered by Prof Noble at Tap O’ Noth, Rhynie, and Burghead, etc, as a nation, we seem poised on the brink of a massive reassessment of Scotland’s archaeological past. Forget what you’ve been told.
It strikes me there shouldn’t be development within 100m of an archaeological treasure, not to mention sprawl over a green field site, for battery storage which can surely find a home on some derelict brown field site of which Scotland has plenty.
WTF is going on here?
Gordon Noble from Aberdeen Uni is FINALLY beginning to fill in the gaps in our Pictish history, and it is remarkable, but even older archaeology we do know is there seems threatened by unnecessary industrial encroachment.
(You have to watch this… link to youtube.com ) 2000 views in 4 months? REALLY??? For Scots it should be mandatory watching…
There’s no direct link to the Cochno Stone, which is Neolithic / Early Bronze, but can you imagine Planning Approval for a Battery Storage Plant just over the fence at Stonehenge?
It is a deeply unsettling phenomenon how many people positively bristle and get triggered whenever a clearer picture of Scotland, well, pre-Scotland’s past emerges. I get it that Scotland’s enemies get triggered, but jeezo, let the truth be articulated without suppression.
For those who won’t look, Tap O’ Noth Pictish Hill Fort has revealed itself as effectively a city to rival any other contemporary settlement, with over 800 roundhouses around the “fort”. Estimates of 4000+ people living in one settlement, when the story runs we were hunter/gatherers slipping by Roman Patrols in the mist.
The more you see, the more it emerges that Scotland / Caledonia, whatever you want to call auld Scotland, was never the supine backwater it has become.
So Sturgeon wants to leave Scotland permanently to live in London. Well perhaps the Yes Movement can chip in and buy her a one way rail ticket to England’s capital. If everyone donated 1p we might raise enough money to send Sturgeon on her journey – and the further the better.
Nah, we can’t allow that. We need her to stay in Scotland, behind bars for a very long time!
How long will it be before Sturgeon comes out against Scottish independence?
Sturgeon came out against Indy 11 years ago when she became FM.

That is an outright lie. There is no evidence whatsoever that she ever considered that at the time or ever since.
In fact her attacks against anyone who criticised her policy were “deeply misogynist, often homophobic, possibly some of them racist as well”.
She never apologised to anyone.
Correct. She’s trying to re-write history with the assistance of British MSM.

Odd that on a site never done posting about the appalling standards of Scottish journalism, UK journalism, the BBC, etc. you want to push the outlier view that when it comes to reporting what you want to hear, your favoured journalists speak gospel truth.
Sturgeon’s memoirs are a big story in Scotland and the UK. Try to get your head around that fact.
